RED CROSS NOTES

Red Cross around the National Army
Cantonments, National Guard camps
and Naval bases, as for instance
Hattiesburg, Miss; Ft Riley Kan;
Rock, Ark; Aver, Mass; Chillicothe,
and PETERSBURG. Va.
Word comes by letter from France
from doctors on the ground that they
have been assigned to duty for the
present under Red Cross direction
and will assist in relievign the suffer-
inc of the civilian population as well
as military.
The American Red Cross now has
more than a dozen base hospitals in
France, of 800 or more beds, in charge
of physicians, dentists, Red Cross
nurses and enlisted men of the medi-
cal CORPS.
A children's hospital has also been
opened at Toul.
In response to an appeal from The
American Red Cross Commission in
France specialist in children's dis
eases from John Hopkins Hospital
was sent to investigate; he visited the
region; found villages looted and burn
ed with all the buildings destroyed;
more than 1000 children practically
with no medical care, dirty and infect
ed and i'll; one old hospital stripped
of all its apparatus; one aged civilian
! doctor with out drugs or means of
getting them. This condition was
relieved by the American Red Cross.
This is where our relief money
goes in part and it all goes for SINH
