for Hospital
Frank 6. harrington First Team Cap
tain to Volunteer in $4,000 Campaign
for Augusta General Hospital Three
Story Fireproof Addition

Active organization work was be
gun yesterday for the Augusta Cen
eral hospital campaign next month to
raise $4,000 for a large addition to
relieve the overcrowded condition at
tile institution and make it unneces-
sary to turn patients away because of
lack of bed space.
Mayor Willis F. Swift and Nathan
Weston became members of the cam
paign executive committee, which IS
headed By George f. Macomber. Be-
sides members Of the hospital board
Of directors, the executive committee
includes Lewis A. Burleigh, Henry Z.
Dunnack and Samuel Stewart
Among the first representative resi-
dents Of Augusta to volunteer as
team captain in the big civic move
ment to give the city proper hospital
facilities is Frank G. harrington. Mr.
Harrington is actively Identified with
the community's civic undertakings
and now is president of the Young
Mems Christian Association.
1t is understood that 10 teams Of men
are to participate in the one week
drive to provide funds so that the hos
pitaL may properly take care of the
patients applying for treatment, and
that the women's auxiliary of the hos
pital Will he active in the campaign
With other hospitals along the At
lantic coast. the Augusta hospital has
been asked by the War Department to
furnish a statement of its readiness to
accommodate wounded American SOL
diers in the event it becomes necessary
to transport them from Europe for
hospital care here
Under present conditions, it was
pointed out by member of the hos
pital board, the institution is unable
to meet the demands made upon it by
the civilian population and, therefore,
with its present quarters, would be
able to do little in the way Of treat
ing injured American soldiers return
ed from abroad.
With the three story fireproof ad
dition, which will greatly increase the
bed area Of the hospital and supply A
now operating room, it is said the
hospital would he able to take care of
its share Of soldiers injured on foreign
hattlefieids, if the War Department
found it necessary to ask for aid here.

for the transport. on a large scale, of
infantry. One can easily imagine
aeroplanes sufficiently large to carry so
or even 100 infantrymen. A hundred
such planes could transport an army
Of 10000 with incredible rapidity to
any point behind the hostile line de-
sired by the general in command.
Such movements will make trench
lines obsolete. Tho whole art of war
will have to be rewritten from it's ele-

The development of the uses Of the

a game comparatively elementary like
