NEEDED BY THE ARMY

Surg. Gen. Gorgas, of the army, au-
thorizes the statement that in spite of
tho numerous responses to the call
for surgeons the medical corps has

Examinations for admission to the
regular service are held on the first
Monday of every month. Applicants
for commissions should apply directly

tify them of the conditions and desig-
nate the places for conducting exam.

OF THE ACTIVITIES
Of THE NATIONAL RED CROSS

It is not generally understood how
great are the activities OF the Ameri
can Red Cross. particularly since the
creation OF Its department OF military
relief in December. 1915. This steI
was taken to furnish machinery by
which the American National Red
Cross could render volunteer aid to
sick and wounded Of armies in wal
and act as demium Of communica
ton between the people Of the United
States and their army and navy.
The department deals directly with
military units such as base hospitals
ambulance companies, hospital units
surgical sections. supply depots and
naval and emergency attachments OF
the army and navy to reinforce those
services in time OF war. 1t also ad
ministers all agencies of assistance to
the sick and wounded soldiers OF for.
eign countries and to prisoners OF
war.
The military service for the rescue
Of the wounded of armies in the field
is divided into three zones, called, re-
spectively. the zone OF the front, that
Of the base, and that OF the home coun-
try.
The medical service of the zone OF
the front is one Of first aid, temporary
shelter and transportation of the
wounded to the rear. II Is manned
by the trained sanitary Soldiers of the
army and requires for its service near
ly the entire personnel OF the peace es-
tablishment. The Red Cross units and
personnel are not admitted to this
zone. The medical service of the sec
ond zone. the military base, consists
OF sick.transport trains and base hos
pitfalls, and is largely manned by a
personnel from civil life, recruited
either by the Red Cross or the medical
department of the army. It's base
hospitals are the first true hospitals
encountered by wounded man in his
journey to the rear. There for the
first time he finds a good bed, with n
mattress instead of a sanitary cot.
trained nurses, instead OF sanitary sol.
diers. and the highly trained and spec.
ialized practitioners from civil life.
Here he finds quiet and rest and the
conditions stable for recovery.
:. The third zone. that the the home
country, receives the overflow and the
eonvalescents from the base hospitals
near the theater of war. In II tn,
civil hospitals of the country are call.
ed into use. in addition to such gen.
eral hospitals as may be established
With the exception of a few trained
administrative officers, It's medical
stan consists OF physicians and nurses
drawn from civil life.

is the central span and the most i'm

Cross makes to the safety and comfort
OF the wounded.

At the end Of the first days play
Mrs. Barlow held a lead OF three
strokes over Mrs. Fox. five over Mrs.
