AMERICAN WOMEN
 HAVE OPENED TWO HOSPITALS FOR MEN
Doctors and Nurses From This Country to Be in
 Charge in England

London. June 16.-There are two hospitals in England where the sick and wounded from the American ar my will feel as much at home as in their native land. Not only will American doctors and nurses minis ter to them, but American-born wo- hen will form the great majority of their visitors. The institutions are the American Women's Hospitals at Lancaster Gate, Lonndon, and the one az Palgnton- The first now minis ters to British officers and the second to the "Tommies'' Both were euuip- ped with funds subscribed. for by the American Womens War Relief Fund.
 Lady Paget, wife of General Arthur H. Paget, who is president of the American Women's War Relief Fund. told the Associated Press correspon- dent the other day that, although the hospitals were established for British patients, their doors would always be open for the American sick and wounded. New hospitals said Lady Paget, Twill undoubtedly be es- tablished for the American army but our two hospitals will always find room to minister to their wants.
 Americas entry into the war has spurred us on in our charitable work We American wives of English hus- bands have been working indefatig- ably since the beginning of the war. Now that our native country has thrown in it's lot with the Allies we are more than pleased with ourselves. Our work will continue with added interest"
 Lady Paget has been foremost in her charity work since the outbreak of hostilities. She has gathered from America 3,500,000 socks and these, with tens of thousands of garments such as underwear spajamas and sirts, have been sent to British fighting men in need of them. Lady Paget, personality has raised in America and England f25O,O0O for. British wound ed, f35,000 for Russian wounded, f32,00O for French wounded and f25,- 900 for the American hospitals in England.
 Others associated with her in the American Women's War Relief Fund are, Mrs. John Astor, vice president, the Duchess of Marlborough, chair man, and Lady Lowther and Mrs. Harcourt, who are secretaries. The nine American women who make up the executive committee are headed by the wife of the American Ambas- sador, Mrs. Page. Lady Randolph Churchill is chairman of the hospital committee while the chairman of the economic committee is the Duchess of Marlborough.
 The Lancaster Gate hospital re- gently opened by Ambassador and Mrs. Page, occupies one of the most desirable sites in London. It com mands a view of Hyde Park ana Is visited by hundreds of American visi- tors. Many of its nurses are Aneri- cans living in England. The hospital has forty-five beds. The large ward on the ground floor is named Phila- delphia, having been endowed by the Philadelphia branch of the British American War Relief Committee. The other large ward is named the Mary Burns after its donor.
 Lady Randolph Churchill who lives near the hospital is constantly at work there and Viscountess Harcourt with Lady Lowther looks after the of flee work

The Connecticut Humane society had investigated the lads home conditions and found that with another brother and his mother he resided in small and squalid ouar ters. The commitment was accord 1ngly ordered.

Alexander, the new king of Greece in whose favor King Constantine ab- dicated, is nearly three years junior to his brother George, having been born August 1, 1898. He is known to have an unrestrained admiration for Venizelos and is believed to be in tensely pro-entente. A year ago it was reported that he had thrown up his commission as captain in the First regiment of artillery in order to join Venize1os' volunteers.
 The difficult situation between King Constantine and the allies de- veloped from three distinct causes- the alleged pro-German. attitude of Constantine, whose wife is a sisfer of the German emperor; the fact that the Greek-Servian treaty of March, 1913, which Constantine vio- lated, pledged the support of either power if the other were attacked by Bulgaria.
 In the picture is venizelos and

with, from a national view point, was
brought to the heart Of every individual
as their own problem, and We were
convinced as never before that real,
live, "four-square," honest, christian
men are the greatest need of our ma
ton A large number were present
to hear this great lecturer, bat we wish
every mau aud woman in Yale might
have heard her, for it is not often We
have an opportunity to hear speaker
so highly gifted and we'll informed as
