AMERICAN RED CROSS HOSPITAL UNITS
FIRST TO ANSWER NATIONS CALL FOR
HELP ON EUROPE'S BATTLEFIELDS

and PNates Are Showing the Allies That Uncle Sam Is
Prepared to Aid Them Fully in One Department at
least-This Community Must Do Its Part-We
Must Give Our Time, Services, Money.

requires an operation, he is In the
hands Of the best surgeons OF the land
with the finest surgical tools TO do
their work. And the hospital has an
ample supply of wound dressings, pads,
splints, hospital gowns, surgical
shirts-all the thousand and one things
u flrst-class hospital must have.
That Is the service which the Amerl-
can Red Cross has provided for the
American soldier before our country
was at war-before a single American
ship or unit of the American army
was headed for Europe. Thlrty.six Of
these hospitals-enough TO care for the
wounded of an army OF million men
have been made ready 10 the last
strip of bandage and the last enrolled
stretcher bearer. Several Of them nre
now in France. helping to care for the
wounded Of the allies, and ready 10
care for the American soldiers who are
sure to fall into their hands before
many weeks.
Each Of these base hospitals calls

II the American Red Cross had never
done anything else than organize, equip
and supply the base hospitals which
are now backing our armies, II would
have justified Its existence. or course
It has done, and still is doing, count
less great things for America and for
the world; but Its accomplishment In
the line Of base hospitals Is just now
Of prime Importance.
As briefly as II 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 hospital in his own coun-
try.
II Is almost unbelievable, but never
theless fact, that until the American
Red Cross took hold of the task n
year ago, no nation In the history of
the world had ever organized n base
hospital until after war had been de-
clarcd and the fighting begun, and the
wounded men lay writing on the
ground.
Always, of course, there have been
few army surgeons with each rcgl.
ment, who patched up the slightly
wounded and got them back into the
firing line as quickly rs possible. Also,
of course, there have always been In
all countries some sort of hospital Sys-
ten 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 10
Il terrible congestion of wounded on
the hattlefeldS. whore thousands suf.
fered needleSsly, lost arms md legs
that might have been saved, or died
when 1t little care would have mo
served them.
Col Jefferson Randolph Kean. L. s.
A. Medical corps, director general of
military relief Of the Red Cross, has
likened the former organization 10 a
bridge Of which the end spans were
complete. hut the middle SVan-thp
base hospitnls-was entirely lacking.
When man is wounded In battle,
the method of caring for him Is this
modified, Of course, by varying condl.
tiOns:
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 stretcher bearers can
reach him, and carry him to one Of
the little frst-aid stations. These are
always very near 20 the fighting lines

whore the men are fighting.

ing to all appearances, Pershing
is possessed Of unusual qualities
as a military leader and we be.
lieve that he will conduct the
operations in a most skillful,
energetic manner. Under his
able an efficient leadership the
American troops will not suffer
more than half the losses which
they would sustain if they were
directed by a headstrong man
Ike Roosevelt. We are conf
dent that Pershing will dis!in-
euish himself very highly in the
coming operations and We feel
sure that the glory of his
achievements will cause the
American people to feel proud at
the mention of his name for
many years to come.
Mrs. Eursa Truitt is suffering

nicely and were we'll pleased
