Red Cross To Enter
New Field Of Service In
ArmyCampsOfAmerica

At the suggestion Of Secretary OF
War Baker, the American Red Cross
is about to enter a new field
OF service in the army camps
OF the United SSites, a field in
which they are az eady working in
France, the Bureau of Communication
between the men in the hospital and
their families at home. This will ne
cessitate building Red Cross house
in every army camp in the country
and securing for each house a man
who will keep in personal touch with
every man who is admitted to the camp
hospital, as wen as a sufficient steno-
graphic force to handle the letters die
tated by these men and to keep their
families constantly informed as to
their condition and progress.
Col. William Lawson Peel, General
manager OF the Southern division, has
just received letters from w. R. Cas-
tie, Jr., director of the Bureau of Com
munications, and from Harry b. Wal
lace, assistant director-general of mill
tary relief, explaining Secretary Ba-
ker's plan and asking for suggestions
as to men in this division who are
qualified for the positions of respon-
sibility at the camps. Colonel Peel
announced Thursday at a meeting Of
his bureau directors that the Southern
division would cooperate in every way
with the national organization and
that work would be begun at once to
| assist in carrying out Secretary Bak-
er's plans.
The directors Of the work in the Red
Cross houses will be under the au-
/ thority Of the Red Cross Field Diree-
tors In the various camps, who In
| turn are under the supervision Of 2.
Bennett Phelps, director Of military
relief for the Southern division.
Secretary Baker says in his letter;
Since the American Red Cross
has already established in France, in
accordance with an army order, ser
vice to keep families in America in
personal touch with their boys, III
or wounded in the field, 1t is suggest
ed that this service be extended ia
the camps in the United States. Ameri
can Red Cross representatives at the
camps, here, as in France, would have
access to daily lists Of admissions and
excavations from the hospitals, and
so far as 1t is in accord with neces
sary medical rules, would he allowed

The eggs, therefore, are almost wholly

HOW PERSHING CAME
TO Be SOLDIER

In his boyhood John j. Pershing,
now a general in the us. army and
commander Of the U. s. expeditionary
forces in France, being Of sober,
quiet turn Of mind, early assumed
some Of the responsibilities of looking
after his five brothers and sisters. all
Younger than himself. His father OPP
Grated several farms and the boy did
considerable farm work and in time
took over the management Of farm.
From his father who was an expert
gardener he inherited love of gar
dening and learned many things in
connection with the subject. He has
never outgrown this liking for the soil
and whenever opportunity offers takes
keen delight in getting into a pair OF
overalls and working among the veg
etables and flowers Of the garden.
While he greatly enjoyed working
in the soil, and watching the plants OF
various kinds unfold and develop, the
idea of being a school teacher finally
appealed to him even more strongly.
Accordingly he became student OF
the Missouri State Normal school at
Kirksyille, Mo-, intending to prepare
himself. for teaching,
One day while he was at this insti-
tuition a newspaper announcing an ex-
animation for entrance to the military
academy at West Point fell into his
hands. That at once brought before
his mind the attractions Of a militay
career and the more he thought about
taking the examination the more at
tractive the notion grew. He went to
his sister, also student at the normal
school and asked her what she thought
his trying for an appointment. She
advised him to take the examination
At once he began to study inten-
sivelv in preparation and shortly al.
terward was called before the board
of examiners. Though his prepare
ton had been brief and had not salts
fed him. he made the best grades II
the examination and a little later wa;
notified of his appointment. On tht
way to the academy he stopped Oft a.
home and for the first time told ms
parents Of his intention to become
soldier.
Following his graduation from thu
military academy he served in New
Mexico in campaign with Gen. Mile
against Geronimo, the chief of tn
Apaches who had been making trouble
there. He later became military IN
structor at the University Of Nebras
ka. a position he filled successful!
and with credit to himself. Afte
serving for time as instructor Il
military tactics at the West Pom
military academy he went to Cuba
where he saw active service in tn
Santiago campaign in 1898. He or
ganized the bureau of insular affair
and was its chief until 1899 when n
went to the Philippines. There he say
