THEIRS IS WORK OF LOVE
Red Cross Men In Charge Of Supplies
at Base Hospitals Serve
Without Pay.

Chicago.-The American Red Cross
is placing men with United States
army copanissions in charge Of Red
Cross supplies at every base hospital,
and at every training camp, canton
ment, mobilization camp and other
place where soldiers or sailors are as
sembled.
These men are chosen from vOlun-
teers who are more than thirty-one
years Of age-the draft limit-and
much more mature men are given the
preference so that no one may be put
at civilian work who might better serve
with the army. They draw no pay,
but are given quarters and subsistence
in accord with their rank.
At each such station there will be at
least two Red Cross representatives,
one Of whom will be commissioned
captain, and the others neutenants.
They will have charge of all ship
ments Of Red Cross supplies to such
military station, and will be the con-
Meeting link between the people and
their fighting men. Some, If not all,
these. officers will be given the oppor-
tunity to follow the soldiers to Eu-
rope, though no one IN the volunteer
ing is required to pledge himself to
go abroad.
