pies all their lives will regain
:he use Of their damaged limbs as a re-
suit of the arrangements that have been
made for their prompt treatment at the
two orthopedic hospitals established by
the American Red Cross in London. In
this respect Uncle SAINTS fighting men
are to benefit by knowledge dearly
bought by England and France, the war
having taught surgeons that orthopedic
treatment should not be delayed.
Great things in the way Of restoring
the use Of arms and legs to wounded
soldiers are being done at st. kath~
arine's Lodge and Baroda House, the
Red Cross institutions, which were for
merly the homes Of two Americans who
turned them over for this work and who
provide all the funds for their mante-
nance. The doctors and nurses at both
HOSPITALS are American. Originally the
hospitals were intended for American
officer patients, but British officers have
been cared for in the interval before
the arrival of American wounded.
The name hospital as applied to these
nIaces is really misnomer. The ma
