II the American Red Cross had never
done anything else than organize, equip
and supply the base hospitals which
are now backing our armies, 1t would
have justified It's existence. OF course
1t has done, and still is doing, count
less great things for America and for
the world; but It's accomplishment I'm
the line of base hospitals is just now
Of prime Importance.
As briefly as 1t may be defined, a
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 a hospital In his own coun-
try.
II is almost unbelievable, but never
theless a fact, that until the American
Red Cross took hold of the tssk 9
year ago, no nation in the history Of
the world had ever organized a base
hospital until after war had been de-
clared and the fighting begun, and the
wounded men lay writhlng on the
ground.
Always, OF course, there have been
a 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-
tenn 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. This has invariably led to
q terrible congestion Of wounded on
the battlefields, where thousands suf-
fered ~needlessly, lost arms and legs
that might have been saved. or died
when a little care would have pre-
served thep.
Col. Jefferson Randolph Kean, q. 8.
A. Medical corps, director general of
military relief Of the Red Cross, has
likened the former organization to a
bridge of which the end spans were
complete. but the middle span-the
base hospitals-was entirely lacking.
When q man Is wounded in battle,
the method of caring for him Is this
modified, of course. by varying condi-
tons:
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 stratchar heararS can
reach him, and carry him to one of
the, little first-aid stations. These are
always very near to the fighting lines
sometimes in a part of the trench
where the men are fighting.
There an army surgeon shameless the
flow Of blood, puts a dressing on the
wound to keep ont infection, binds on

other ONE to take up the work for
when the Americans begin to fight
there win 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 a splint. Is our commu-
nifty doing Its part?
In France right now the supply OF
gauze and linen Is so low that they
ore reported to be using old newspa-
pers to stanch bleeding wounds. That
must w happen to an American sol
der. 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 q
soldier from our own town-perhaps
your w family, OF mine-were to get
gangrene In his wound, perhaps lose
an arm or a leg or ven his life, be.
cause we folks here had failed to fur.
nish the dressings for his wound.

NUN LUS SCHOOL, April 23.-Last
Saturday two games of baseball of the
regular interclass series were played
at the Nun Lun institution. The Sen.
iors met and defeated the SOphs In
the hardest game played to date by a
score Of to 2, In the initial game.
In the second game of the double
header, the Juniors lowered their class
colors to the Freshies when the latter
team, by heavy smuggling, sent Is men
across the rubber to the losers 10.
The opening game was without a
doubt the best game played in the
school diamond for many moons. @
b. II was battle between the pitchers,
Koon Bung, of the Sophs and Kan
Bung OF the winners. These slabsters,
whose last names have the same
sound, had tons of speed, twirled good
teams played with lots of speed and
not single man reached the initial
sack for the first five innings. s-..
When the sixth round came, the
Seniors started to hit the ball and sc.
cured five hits and four runs when
the canto ended. The Sophs came in,
but failed to score. Kan Hee made
single and when the round was over,
he crossed the pan with one run In
the seventh inning. In the eighth, the
Seniors got one and in the ninth canto
the Sophs got their last run. The los
ers' two runs were made by Kan Hee.
He is peppery shortstop and got two
runs and two singles in three times up.
In the last game the Freshies won
from the Juniors. The winners col
lected Is hits and many were for extra
bases. r. c. Chang, known as Fat"
Chang, was the star slugger with his
club Of the "McInns" type and knocked
out five long singles In six chances up.
He was followed closely by his team
rate. Mack Ching, with four hits. For
the losers, Peter Leong was the stellar
player To date the Seniors are in the
lead with two games won. The Sophs
and Freshies are tied for second place
with the Juniors at the bottom of the
ladder. The champions will be award.
