the newly formed Red Cross Sanitary
.Corps-who last April offered their
services to their country. President

clared he considered the moment "a
very significant occasion. because 1t
Is an evidence of the extraordinary
willingness OF the men among our
people to serve the nation in an hour
of need"
Il think what you have done" the
President continued, has been con-
ceived in an admirable spirit and
with a very practical sense OF what

tives of the commission OF the Dis

'Mr. President, stimulated by your
wonderful message and feeling there
was time for every one to do his part,
l applied to that wonderful relief or
agniZation, the American Red Cross,
and took my part in the local chap
ter. l conceived the idea that a home
guard of trained men would be OF
assistance, and consequently ad-
dressed the clerks of our government,
realizing that they would be in Wash
inSton and would be the proper men.
These men enlisted, 1.OJO within

is already calling to its service men
in the field. 1 take great pleasure in
presenting to you this sanitary corps
of government clerks
The men in the corps are from the
Agriculture. Commerce, Interior and
other departments. All are between
% and so years old and will be known
as members of the first-aid unit OF

and along the avenue to Fifteenth
street, and then to the Ellipse.
Seated on the platform with Presl-
dent and Mrs. Wilson were Secretary
Baker. Commissioner Louis BrownloW,

can Red Cross, including Henry P.

Gil; Eliot Wadsworth. acting chairman
of the central committee; Miss Mabel
T. Boardman. Col. Jefferson r. Kean
director of the Department OF Military
Relief; Maj. c. II. Connor and others.

corps to Commissioner Louis Brown
