How the Women of Nezv York Organ
lied to Help in CivI Var Camp and
Hospital, as Told by a Survivor of the
Woman'S Central Relief Association

a great meeting was Immediately held in
Union Square, called by prominent citizens of
New York. Its chief object was to give ex-
preston to loyalty and to offer financial aid
to the President, for Congress had just adj
journed and no money could be voted for sew
eral months. The wealthest men in the city,
therefore. offered TO President Lincoln in the
mean time all the money ne might need until
Congress again met. At this meeting was
formed the Union Defence Committee.
81 remember that my father, George Lee
Schuyler, was appointed to go to Washington
and give the message Of the committee to Prcsi-
dent Lincoln. The wants of this small voun
teer army, which was totally unprepared, were
enormous, and the women of the country at
once began to supply the requirements Of those
being sent out. The regular army was small,
and the sudden addition to it of the volunteer
troops entirely overtaxed the powers Of the
department of supplies. Some Of the first vol

"Three days later heard the tramp of the

their way to Washington. The next day our

the Massachusetts 9th had been fired upon IN
Baltimore. This was the first blood shed IN
the war, on the 10Th Of April, 1861, the ami
versary of the battle of Lexington Two days
later three more of our new regiments left for
Washington. ] do not remember at the mo-
ment which they were, but the 18th was one

Americans, but Italians, Germans and irish

now making by the women of New York for
the supply of extra medical aid to our army
through its present campaign must be obvious
to all rejecting persons. Numerous societies,
working without concert, organization or head,
without any direct understanding with the
official authorities, without any positive in
structions as TO the immediate or future wants
of the army are liable to waste their enthusi-
asn in disproportionate efforts, 20 overlook
some claims and overdo others, while they give
unnecessary trouble in official quarters by the
variety and irreguarity of the profFers Of
help or their inquiries for guidance.
GAS no existing organization has right To
claim precedence over any other, or could prop
erly assume to lead in this noble cause, where
all desire to be first, it is proposed by the I'M
dcrsigned, members Of various circles, now ac-
lively engaged in this work that the women
of New York should meet in the Cooper In
stitute on Monday next, at II o'clock a. in TO
confer together and TO appoint general COM
mittee with power to organize the benevolent
purposes Of all into a common movement
The result of this meeting was the forma-
ton of the Woman's Central Association OF
Relief, which had board OF twelve men and
twelve women members, Of which Miss Schuy-
Ter was one.

sumed, that this was the first time that men

NHE was a young woman when the Civil
- War broke out, and her memory goes
back over ffty-seven years to tell how
they did Red Cross work when there was still
10 Red Cross. Her name is Louisa Lee Schuy-
Ter, great-granddaughter Of Alexander Hamil-
ton and Of General Philip Schuyler, Of the Rev
oution And no sooner was President Lincoins
PROCLAMATION for the preservation Of the Union
issued than she became one Of the most active
leaders in the local branch Of the Sanitary
Commission.
The Red Cross has become such an essential
Part Of the humanitarian reclamation work IN
Esr-the Red Cross is the vanguard so far OF
American participation in the battehelds OF
L1rope-it seems incredible that when we en-
tered upon four years Of bitter bloodshed there
should have been no such beneficent organiza-
tn. Yet when the Civil War started the Red

unteer companies were supplied by their own
people with flannel shirts, and even blankets
from the BEDS
One of the first things the volunteer women
of the Civil War discovered was what the
Council of Defence has discovered in the first
weeks of this war, that doing ones Bit was
valuable, if the various bits that were done
were organized and centralized and there was
not criss-cross Of purposes and plans and ex-
penditures.
Just as to-day" she said, "the wants of the
men aroused the interest and enthusiasm of the
women. But we quickly saw that each woman
doing her own little piece of work would be of
no avail and on the 29th Of April, 1861, great
mass meeting Of two thousand women was held
in Cooper Union. Its object was to organize
society for furnishing hospital supplies for
sick and wounded soldiers and sailors"
The proclamation, issued on April 20, 1861,
has a strangely modern ring 1t might have
been written by the chairman of the Women's
Committee of President Wilson's recently APP
pointed Council of National Defence so similar
in viewpoint is it to the spirit animating the
advisory councils of this war of 1917. The
plishment characteristic of unorganized volun-
teer work were as annoying and obstructive in
1861 as they are to-day.

Many days were consumed in secur-

worked on a large western ranch and
was familiar with methods employ
ed in the cook house. An old man
was found that had spent many years
as "cooky' on a large Texas ranch.
He was brought to the studios, and
when he saw the settings in which he
was to perform many well known du-
ties he was delighted.
When Hart and his company dis-
covered that the quaint old character
was really desirous of cooking meals
with stacks Of napjacks-he was
kept busy during his stay at the stu
