Eliot wadsworth, member Of a promi-
nent Boston financial concern, who has
sacrificed his private business inter-
ests and for the last three months
has been acting business manager OF
the American Red Cross, and who IS a
member. Of the war council appointed
last week by President Wilson to take
charge Of Red Cross activities, de-
scribed the entire scheme OF the Red
Cross organizations, which includes
$50 chapters in the forty-efght states
in the Union and the outlying de-
pendencies. He described how all of
these volunteer relief agencies are CO.
ordinating activities to afford the most
efficient relief to the fighting forces
of this country and our allies and at
the same time providing for support
and maintenance of dependent families
throughout the United States.
Mr.. Wadsworth spoke appreciattve1y
OF the remarkable growth of Red Cross
membership since this nation declared
q state of war and paid tribute to
the zeal with which hundreds of thou
sands Of women are working to pro-
vide equipment for more than twenty
base hospitals and in training them
selves to give valuable service in sup
port of the military forces.
That the Red Cross units were the
first to be called into service was graft
flying, he said, and encouraging be-
paredness. He urged all those attend
ing the conference and the entire mem
bershfp Of the National Service School
to do all that they can in support of
their own local chapter of the Red
Cross when they return to their homes.

Tells Of Opportunities for Women.

Miss Jane Delano, chairman of the
national committee on Red Cross nurs-
ing service. who is herself a volunteer
worker, talked Of the opportunities for
Cross will give the women of the coun-
try every possible chance to perform
dignified and valuable service in ad-
ministering to the victims of the war.
Miss Delano emphasized. however, that
opportunities are larger in other
branches of service probably than in
the nursing service. and that the women
of the United States, who have had
special instruction and training Will
find themselves called upon to perform
patriotic duties elsewhere than in the
hospitals.
.aThe tendency of the public" she said.
'is to think that in war time tie
women of the country must prepare to
this work do not wish to hold out false
hope, for we see that the opportunity
is limited
'The Red Cross has on it's registers to-
day the names of more than 5000 grad
uate and experienced nurses who are
ready to serve the nation any time
when called and others are registering
at the rate of 100 to 200 day"
Those who are comparing conditions
here with those that exist in France
are making a grievous mistake, Miss
Delano pointed out, because France has
practically no training schools for
nurses aud when war swept that coun-
try the French Red Cross was depen-
dent for nurses mostly upon volunteers.
Besides those already enrolled for Red
Cross service there are in the United
States between $4,000 and 10000 trained
and experienced nurses who can be
called upon for hospital work as the
. need arises.
There is no country in the world
which has anything like this nursing
force. Any one who thinks that the
United States must do as France did
and call upon women generally to serve
as nurses is very much mistaken, be-
cause not only the Red Cross. but the
nation at large is prepared along this
line better perhaps than for any other
