Behind these marched the great mass
Of nurses enrolled in the Red Cross

blocks, all dressed alike in pure white,
with red emblems on their sleeves.
Nurses from the various city hospitals

women members of the Red Cross.
They wore white, with flowing wells of
blue or red, or the white headdresses
with red crosses on the forehead. Some
carried crimson knitting bags.

with their hair down their backs.
Mrs. j. Borden Hartman and her CO.
workers in the Motor Corps from Wash
ington attracted much attention. They
wore smart gray uniforms, with long
coats, puttees and visored caps. Four
aids carried a stretcher and two drove
ambulances.
At the head Of the Bellevue Training
