AMERICAN RED CROSS HOSPITAL UNITS
FIRST TO ANSWER NATI0N'S CALL FOR
HELP ON EUROPE'S BATTLEFIELDS
Organized Peace Tmes These Groups Of Surgeons Nurses
and Privates Are Showing the Allies That Uncle Sam Is
Prepared to Aid Them Fully in One Department at
Least-This Community Must Do Its Part-We
Must Give Our Time Services, Money.

II the American Red Cross hnd never
done anything else than organize. equip
and supply the base hospitals which
are now backing our armies, 1t would
have justified Its existence. OF course
II has done, and still is doing. count
less great things for America and for
the world: but Its accom- lishment In
the line OF base hospitals Is just now
Of prime Importance.
As briefly as It may be defined. n
base hospital Is an institution which
cares for the sick or wounded soldier
from the time he Is sent back from
the firing line, until he is able to be
removed to hospital in his own coun-
try.
1t is almost unbelievable. but never
theless fact that until the American
Red Cross took hold of the task a
yenr ago. no nation In the history of
the world had ever organized base
hospital until after war had been de-
clared and the fighting begun. and the
wounded men lay writhtng on the
ground.
Always, OF course. there have been
few army surgeons with each regi-
ment. who patched up the slightly
wounded and got them back into the
firing line as quickly as possible. Also.
of course, there have always been in
all countries some sort of hospital sys-
TEN for the care of the sick and
wounded when they got home.
But always the intermediate insti-
tuition. for the care and transportation
OF the sick and wounded between the
front and the home hospitals, was
missing. Thls has invariably led to
a terrible congestion of wounded on
the battlefields, where thousands suf-
fered needlessly, lost arms and legs
that might have been saved, or died
when little care would have pre-
served them.
Col. Jefferson Randolph Kean, U. S.
A. Medical corps, director general of
military relief of the Red Cross, has
iikened the former organization to a
bridge OF which the end spans were
complete. but the middle span-the
base hospitals-was entirely lacking.
When II man Is wounded in battle,
the method of caring for him is this
modified, of course, by varying condi-
tions:
He lies on the field in No Mans
Land between the lines, or in the
trench until he is able to drag himself
away, or the stretcher bearers can
reach him, and carry him to one OF
Ehe little first-aid stations. These are
always very near to the fighting lines

flow OF blood, puts a dressing on the
wound to keep out infection, binds on

MARINES ARE ALWAYS FIRST IN FIGHT

If 1t is necessary for the service of
the upholding of the rights of American
people.
The Marine corps is curious In a way
In Its formation. 1t has more men in
Its ranks than an army division, and
yet In way its organization Is that
of regiment, although 1t has a ma
1or general commandant and several
brigadier generals. Then, like the
army, 1t has its colonels, its lieutenant
colonels, Its majors, and its captains.
The Marine corps, big as 1t Is, with
Its 10000 men in war time. keeps pc
culiar organization. because Its fight
ers necessarily are divided into COM
parallvely small detachments.
Under the command of Colonel Doy-
en- of the Marine corps 1000 soldiers
of the sea soon will be In the trenches
In France. These men, 1t has been
announced, were added to the prelim-
mary force which 1t is intended to
send into France because the govern
ment recognized the right of marines
to live up to the meaning of their war

Men Needed for Marines
The United States government wants
men for Its Marine corps. 1t hopes that
1t will not be necessary to draw from
the ranks of the selective service
army the men needed to complete the
complement of the soldiers sailor organ
ization. 1t wants volunteers The at
fractions of service In the marines are
many. There nre chances, and good
ones, for the enlisted men to be rec.
commended for a student course at An.
napolis, there to be educated and
trained and upon graduation to re-
ceive commission either In the Ma.
rine corps or in the navy. The law
also provides for the promotion Of
noncommssioned officers to warrant
rank in the grades of marine gunners
and quartermaster's clerk. Such ON.
GERS receive from LIPS to $500 a
year, and are entitled to the same
privileges Of retirement as warrant
officers in the navy.
There is chance for marines to
make money In addition to their pay.

tion duty receive amounts varying
from $3.50 to SIS per month in addi-
ton to their base pay. There are pro-
visions for increased pay for men who
qualify as expert rifiemen, as marks
men and as sharpshooters.

been organized before the army and

SEA SOLDIERS GOOD SHOTS
There Is Story From Vera Cruz That.
Tells of the Workmanship Of
Uncle Sans Marines. 50

The marines know how to handle a
rifle; so per cent of the force are quail
flied, listed shots. There is a story
from Vera Cruz that tells of good
shooting and sure eye, Henry Reu-
terdahl writes in the Youths Com
panion.
Our bluejackets were marching up
the street from the plaza between rows
of low two-story house. A well
dressed Mexican, with a newspaper
over his knee, was sitting on the bal
cony of his house, apparently intent on
watching our sailors advance; but hid
den under the paper he held big re-
volver, and as our men went by he
fired. The bullets were striking, but
our officers could hardly suspect a
well-dressed Mexican, reading a paper
and looking peacefully on from his
own house, of being the sniper.
Dropping his paper, the Mexican
went inside to reload. When he came
out again on the balcony the CLINT OF
the gun caught the attention of Lieu
tenant Colonel Neville on horseback In
the plaza, 1000 or more yards away.
Through his eight-power fieldglass the
colonel saw plainly the flash of the
shots under the newspaper.
Get him." he said, turning to his
orderly.
The man raised his rifle, pressed the
trigger-and the Mexican fell out of
his chair.
Got him, SIR" said the marine.

requires an operation, he is In the
hands Of the best surgeons Of the land,
with the finest surgical tools to do
their work. And the hospital has an
ample supply of wound dressings. pads.
splints, hospital gowns, surgical
shirts-all the thousand and one things
first-class hospital must have.
That is the service which the Ameri-
can Red Cross h1is provided for the
American soldier before our country
! was at war-before a single American
ship or unit of the American army
was headed for Europe. Thirty-six Of
these hospitals-enough to care for the
wounded of an army of million men
have been made ready to the last
strip of bandage and the last enrolled
stretcher bearer. Several of them are
now in France, helping to care for the
wounded of the allies, and ready to
cnre for the American soldiers who are
sure to fall into their hands before
many weeks.
Each of these base hospitals calls
for the services of % surgeons.
dentists, rs Red Cross nurses and $50
privates, including orderlies. ambu-
lance drivers, stretcher bearers and
clerks.
The permanent minimum equipment
of each hospital consists OF three car

paratus, operating room paraphernalia.
and all utensils. Units going to Eu-
rope these days. however, are taking
double or triple equipment.
Thu consumable supplies of each hos
pital consists of 50 crates of bandages,
wound pads. splints. fracture pillows,
dressings and hospital supplies of
every kind to the number OF AZ, ,4s2, all
boxed and lobeled so that surgeons and
nurses can put their hands on them
In a moment.
Now-from this 1t might seem that
the Red Cross has done every
thing needful, and that there is moth
Ing more to do for the base hospitals
but to wait until the wounded begin
to stream in. and give them the benefit
of all this foresight.
Not so. 1t has been established that
the supplies of bandages and splints
and wound pads and gauze in base
hospital last through just about four
days of heavy fighting. Then, unless
there were great store of supplies
| to draw from, the hospital would find
Itself with 500 wounded on hand, and
no dressings for their wounds.

Cross. All over the land. wherever
supplies were made for these SO base
hospitals, are women trained In max

other women to take up the work for
when the Americans begin to fight
there will be no stopping the stream of
wounded until the war is won. And
the Red Cross cannot afford to let a
single fighting man die for lack of a
bandage or splint. Is our commu-
nifty doing Its part?
In France right now the supply of
gauze and linen is so low that they
are reported to be using old newspa-
pers to stanch bleeding wounds. That
must never happen to an American SOL
dier. And unless the American people
get behind the Red Cross with all their
strength and In all their numbers. and
train themselves to turn out supplies
for their hospitals, 1t may happen.
1t would be the irony of fate IL a
soldier from our own town-perhaps
your own family, or mine--were to get
gangrene In his wound, perhaps lose
an arm or leg or even his life, be-
cause we folks here had failed to fur
nish the dressings for his wound.

MOTTO: ALWAYS FAITHFUL"
The Recruit Entering Service Today Is
Paid $50 Month and the opportu-
mites for Advancement Are
Numerous.
BY EDWARD B. CLARK.

Notwithstanding in the Fight" is
the wartime slogan of the United
States marines, while "Semper FL
delis." Always Faithful" is their
motto in peace and war.
So 1t would seem that If good works,
coupled with faith, secure a mans sal
walton, there must be some reason as
well as rhyme in the last four lines of
the Marine corps hymn:
II the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heavens scenes
They will find the streets are guarded by
The United States Marines.
Recently Uncle Sam has ordered an
increase In the number of his marines
to war strength of 10000 men,
which numerically means 1000 more
men than there are In a division of
troops of the United States army.
There Is room in the marines, there
fore, for any stalwart young Ameri-
can between the ages of eighteen and
thirty-five who wishes to be soldier
and a sailor In one, to be first in the
fight, and to be able to prove that he
manity and the ideals of his country.
In tne present war tne American De-
lief Is that the two are one.
When congress recently increased
the pay of the army 1t also Increased
the pay Of the navy and OF the Ma
rine corps. The recruit today who en-
ters the Marine corps will receive $50
month pay, an increase OF $15 over
the pay In the more or less piping
times of peace. More than this. II he
goes to sea. which unquestionably will
be his lot, he will receive 20 per cent
additional. and 1t is generally account
ed that IN this war time the 20 per
cent Increase will be continued while
the marine is on land in foreign
country holding up his end for the
United States.
What is the mariner This is one Of
the questions in little catechlsm is
sued by the officials of the corps. The
answer is that the marine is soldier
OF the sea.
The marine Is a soldier and a sailor,
and yet he is neither. He is sort of
two-fisted fighting rover. He goes
everywhere by lard or by sen to the
last outpost of civilization and beyond

Rate Of Pay In Navy,

Kate OF Pay In Navy.
The law increasing the pay Of the
men in the navy has Just been enacted
and the pay tables under the new dis
pensation have not yet been made out,
but 1t is a simple thing to determine
the rate Of pay Of each seaman OF
whatever class by adding to the pay
given In the accompanying table the
amount of increase in each case. The
Increased pay allotment has just gone
into effect. Below Is given the navy
wage table. with the pay as 1t stood
prior to the recent act of congress. In
order to know what each mans pay
now Is, 1t Is only necessary to know
that every man now drawing less than
81 a month will receive an increase Of
$15 a month; that every man drawing
at present from 500 to S24 month, in
elusive. will receive s12 month addI-
donal; that every man drawing more
than *24 and less than S45, will receive
$S month additional, and that every
man drawing at present S45 or more
month will receive SO a month addi-
tional pay.
1t should be borne In mind that the
apprentice seaman, the ordinary boy
recruit. who ordinarily gets s17.60 a
month. will be receiving at the time
that this Is read SIS additional, max
ing his pay $3.50.

congress has ordained:
