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
shints--all the thousand and one things
a first-class hospital must have.
That Is the service which the Ameri-
can Red Gross has provided for the
American soldier before our country
was ut war-before a single American
ship or; unit of the American army
was headed for Europe. Thirty-six of
these hospitals-enough to care for the
wounded of an army of a million men
-7hawe been made ready to the last
| strip of bandage and the last enrolled
stretcher bearer. Several of them are
now In France, helping to care for the
wounded of the allies, and ready to
l&a4FttsfOr sle American solaers who are
sure to fail into their IRnds before
many weeks.
Each of these base hospitals calls
for the services of 90 surgeons, 2
deRtists, rs Red Cross nurses and 15O
privates, including orderlies, ambu-
lance drivers, streteher bearers and
clerks.
The permanent m1nlmum equipment
Of each hospital consists of three car
loads of beds, mattresses, scientific ap-
paratus, operating room paraphernalia,
and all utensils. Units going to Eu-
rope these days, however, are taking
double or triple equipment.
The consumabie supplies Of each hos
pital consists Of S5 crates of bandages.
wound pads. splints. fracture pillows.
dressings and hospital supplies of
every kind to the number of AZ, ,482, all
made up to army standard, packed,
boxed and labeled so that surgeons and
nurses can put their hands on them
In a moment.
Now-from this It might seem that
the Red. Cross has done every
thing needful, and that there is moth
Ing more to do for the base hospitals
but to wait until the wounded begin
to stream in, and give them the benefit
of all this foresight.
Not so. It has been established that
the supplies of bandages and splints
and wound pads and gauze in base
hospital last through just about four
days Of heavy fighting. Then, unless
there were a great store of supplies
to draw from, the hospital would find
itself with 500 wounded on hand, and
no dressings for their wounds.
Here, again, is work for the Red
Cross. All over the land, wherever
supplies were made for these 30 base
hospitals, are women trained in max
ing hospital supplies. 1t is for these
women not only to stand ready to fur
nish other supplies, but to train still

splints in case Of broken bones, and
makes 1t possible for the patient to be
moved to the little field hospital a
short distance from the fighting line,
This field hospital is usually tent
sometimes a hut or a barn or even
d. space In the open air sheltered by 2.
hill or a clump Of trees. 1t is really
little more than an enlarged first+afd
station, with capacity for not more
than 125 wounded, who lie on the
ground on tarpaulins. There are no
beds, and seldom any cots.
From rhe field hospital the wound
ed are taken. as rapidly as possible, to
the evacuation hospitals, still farther
from the danger zone. Each evacua-
tiOI hospital cares for the wounded
from three field hospitals. This, too,
Is an emergency station, and has no
permaneney. 1t is a collection station
for wounded, where the worst cases
may be given little more attention
than has been possible before.
AS rapidly as the motor ambulances,
the hospital trains, the hospital Shins,
rsryother tseaeies, are abIe to work,
the wounded are taken from these col
lecting stations to the base hospital,
located at the army base some distance
to the rear.
Here, for the first time, the wound
ed man finds himself In n real nos
pital, in the hands of surgeons and
nurses who have the time to give his
hurts every possible care.
He is put into real bed in a real
hospital, supplied with X-ray, bac-
THEOLOGICAL and pathological labora-
tories, diet kitchen presided over by
skilled cooks, and with surgeons and
nurses drawn from Americas most
highly trained to wait on him. II he

there will he no stopping the stream OF
wounded until the war is won. And
the Red Cross cannot afford to let
single fighting man die for lack Of a
ban1age or splint. Is our conmu-
nifty doing its part?
In France right now the supply or
gauze and linen is so low that they
are renorted TO he using old newspa-
pers TO stanch bleeding wounds. That
must never 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 cut supplies
for their hospitals, It may happen.
Ii would be the iroay Of fate If q
soldier from our own town-perhaps
your own family, or mine--were to get
gangrene IN his wound, perhaps lose
an arm or q 1eg or even his life. be-
cause we folks here had failed TO fur
nish the dressings Tor his wound.

less great things for America and for

the line of base hospitals In just now
If 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 scot back from
tthe firing line, until he In able to be
removed to q hospital In his own coun-
try.
1t is Rlrpost unbelievable, but never
theless fact, that until the American
Red Cross took hold of the task a
year ago, no nation In che history Of
the world hadseyer nreanized a hase;
'Alospital 9htll after war had been de-
clared and the fighting begun, and the
wounded men lay wnthing on. the
ground.
Always, OF course. there have been
q, 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
terrible congestion of wounded on
the battlefields, where thousands suf-
fered needlessly, lost arms and legs
that might have been saved, or died
when little, care would have pre-
served them.
Col. Jefferson Randolph Kean, q. s.
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 man Is wounded In battle,
the method Of caring for him is this
modified, Of course, BY varying condi-
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 first-aid stations. These are
always very near to the fighting lines
sometimes in part Of the trench
where the men are fighting.

flow Of blood, puts dressing on the
wound to keep out infection, binds on
