There are some matter-Of-fact. high
ly practical ways in which women can
manifest their patriotism. They are
not at all spectacular-just plain, ev-
eryday, commonplace services-but
they leave no room for doubt ms to the
sincerity that prompts them. First OF
these Is the conservation of food for
dance of vegetables and fruits will be
grown this year and it is up to the
housewives to see to it that much
greater quantities are canned, dried
and otherwise preserved, than in nor
nal times. Then, in case of shortage
in any quarter, there will be n reserve
to call on in other localities.
About the next most useful thing to
do is to gather up all old materials
that can be used to make surgical
dressing, and have them thoroughly
washed. These materials may be
shipped to the National Surgical Dress
ings Committee, at 300 Fifth venue
New York city. In old materials the
committee asks for linen and cotton,
blankets and spreads, sheets and pill
low cases, tablecloths and napkins,
towels and undertaking. This COM
mittee is thoroughly organized for war
relief and is engaged in making a va
riety of surgical dressings out of old
and new materials. Many cities and
towns have subcommittee who gather
and forward donations to %headquar-
tiers. Over 1000 hospitals are served
on the continent and over 100000
dressings have been shipped to them.

HONORED BY TURKS
American Missionary Is Given the
Order of Red Crescent.
Heroism Displayed In Care Of Wounded
and Sick Wins Recognition
From Officials.

The Turks at Sivas have hOnored
Miss Mary Louise GRAHAM, an Ameri-
can missionary, by presenting her with
the order of the Red Crescent for her
devotion I o the care of the woundea:
and sick.
The Red Crescent Is "A Turkish or
ganizatlOn corresponding to the Red
Cross.
When the war broke out Miss Graf
fam was ut the head of the American
boards system of schools for girls in
Sivas and its OutstatiOns. Early In
that FIRST terrible winter Erzerum, 200
niles away and near the battle line,
became n fever camp from typhus.
The SivaS missionaries offered to send
IL group of helpers, including doctors,
pharmacists, nurses, etc, to the Red
Cross of ErZeruln. Miss Gratlam was
Il member of the party. The journey
in midwinter yer the mountains, in
cold and storm, took three weeks.
The day after they got there, Mrs.
SeWny, an American nurse, learned
that her husband. II physician, lay
dying of typhus in II village at the
front. Miss Gruifam went with her
through deep snow, fording unknown
rivers ut night and within sound Of
cannon most of the way. The doctor
died and it took the women two days
to get back to ErZerum.
The need was 50 great that Miss
GRAHAM, though with slight knowl-
edge of Turkish and an acquaintance
with hospital work gained only from
casual observation. was put in charge
of n hospital for Turkish officers. Here
for four months she filed IA difficult po-
sition successfully.
In the spring. while on the return
panion. a Swiss nurse, died at Srzin-
gan of malignant typhus. The plucky
American had to 60 on alone. The
inns were full of typhus, the roads
lined with bodies of dead and dying
people and horses. knowing that no
one could be sen to meet her niles
absolutely necessary, she wrote Sivas
that If she became Ill Of the fever she
would be conscious for two days and
would wire for help. Then she trav-
eled on alone. until, within four days
journey of Sivas. some teachers met
her and brought her in safely.
Then came the deportations. All
the teachers and pupils of Miss Graf
fans high school, with their relatives,
were ordered south. Miss GRAHAM,
after much urging of the vail,
permission to start with them. She
took medicine, food and money and
was able to be of great help until after
five days she was forbidden to go
farther.
When the other American mission
aries left Sivas Miss GRAHAM and Miss
Fowle. who has since died of typhus,
were allowed to remain and given the
use of two rooms in one Of the mission
buildings. They did what relief work
was permitted and organized indus
trial work among the refugees. Since
Miss FOwle's death Miss GRAHAM has
remained alone, carrying on her WORK
with unfailing devotion.
