 ''The Red Cross was prepared for war;" says Leo Arnstein. vice chair man of the military relief committee, New York chapter. American Red Cross. ITO the general indictment that the American nation was and still Is unprepared for war there is one notable exception. the base hos- pital service of the American Red Cross. When war first broke out in Europe and farsighted men and women saw that this country, might ultimately become involved. the di- rectors of the Red Cross began to prepare on . large scale for such an emergency. Up and down tho land went organizers urging public spirited citizens in cities all over the country to establish units and raise funds for hospital equipment. As this meant In each instance the rais- ing of from 43s,O0o to 430.00O for something whose usefulness was in the minds of the general public very problematical. the task was no light one.

Bitter propositions were met with. Why contribute such big sum to be tied up in something that will rot in storage?' was the burden of the protest.
 But the workers persisted. As . result, when this country declared war tho Red Cross was prepared and has already organized forty-four base hospital units, thirty-nine for the army and i've for the navy. which will be ready to be turned over to the gov- ernment with their equipment as fast as they are asked for. Already seven of these have been sent abroad for the use of the allies. and the balance are ready to go at a days notice.
 There is much popular misconcep- tion regarding the base hospital. Many think Of it as a huge tent or series of tents containing little bedside cots and emergency equipment. Such . notion more nearly describes the field hospital. which Is an entire ly different affair. located two or three miles back of the firing line and

used only for temporary care of tho wounded. Tho base hospital on the other hand, is housed in . substan- tial permanent structure anywhere from twenty-five to a hundred mflos away. The wounded are taken from the trenches by stretcher bearers md carried to the dressing stations im- medtately back of the line. Hero they receive emergency dressing and att tention and are then carried back to the field hospitals in ambulances. From the field hospitals, as soon as possible. they are carried by ambu- lance and hospital train back to the base hospitals, where they arc sur- rounded by the best hospital equip ment known to modern medical and surgical science"
