On the other hand. the view that the

WORKERS AMID PERILS OF WAR

The first United States soldier to be
killed in the war and the first to be
wounded were both in the Medical
Corps This fact must have impressed
the American people with the serious
risks which are taken by Army
doctors. Before we entered the war
the bravery and sacrifice of medical
officers at the front had probably beer
too little appreciated. As matter OF
the Medical Corps are the only soldiers
who go into no mans land with nc
defense whatever. The tire1ess work
on the battlefield of the stretcher
bearers, all of whom are in the
Medical Corps, is full of danger.

How Red Cross nurses in France
cared for 200 wounded American SOL
diers in pitch-dark wards during an
son, chief nurse of the American Red

received at Red Cross headquarters

The story follows:
Summoned in an emergency to take
care of American soldiers in hospital
near the front, twenty Red Cross
nurses were packed in large motor
amnibus with an Army nurse who was
going up with her surgical team. On
the front seat with the driver was
Bishop John N. Mccormick of Grand

some voices were heeard, and people
came out with exclamations of well

by this time the siren was sound

guns were booming. The nurses hur-

it was explained that 1t was unsafe
for them to stay out in the open.
They could not see the faces of the
people who were speaking. and not
