cans. in one of the most successful
surprise attacks of the war, advanced

BY noon the allies had ac 'auced
about two miles at several points. had
taken twelve towns ami villages an
enormous number of pr's1ne-s and

HOW MISS PINSON
WILL DO HER BIT

Mrs. Bertha Wilkinson is in receipt
of cablegram from her sister, Miss
Ella Pinson, well known in this city.
who enlisted several months ago as
nurse, stating that she has arrived
safely "over there"
Miss Pinson is a member of the first
mobile hospital unit of the American
expeditionary forces in France, which
is now fully equipped and ready to go
TO the front for the duration of the
war
DR.. Sidney r. Burnap of Roosevelt
hospital, New York, who has the rank
of major, is in command of the unit
each of which is made up of twelve
surgeons, ten nurses and sixty en-
listed men, who act as orderlies and
stretcher bearers. AS there are five
sections, it makes a unit of 410 per-
sons.
Other prominent surgeons at the
head of sections are Major Percy r.
Turnure of New York hospital, Major
Frederick Il. van Beuren Jr. of Roose-
welt hospital, Major Bailey of ST
Louis, and Major Powell of San Fran
cisco. These surgeons received their
commissions after having been in
dorsed by Surgeon General William
c. Gorgas.
The unit, after a months intensive
training in France, will 90 by auto
mobile and trailers to within a short
distance of the firing lines, where,
when a drive is on, it will set up its
collapsible operating hospital, which
takes about an hours time Every
detail for the interior of the hospital
has been provided for, from steriliza-
ton to X-ray equipment.
The unit will move from battle field
to battle field, wherever the command
ing officer considers the best location
for the case of the wounded at the
earliest possible moment. There is
no arrangement for convalescent pa
tients, so after a soldier undergoes an
operation he will be taken in an am
bulance TO the nearest base hospital
at the front.
The equipment of the nurses is
practically the same as that of an
army officer, as they will be prepared
to camp where night finds them and
will live outdoors. They are pro-
vided with mattress, three blankets,
four sheets, collapsible water pail,
canteen cup and serving plate. knife,
fork and spoon.
This kit has a covering of tarpauIin
and can be rolled up into a compare
lively small space. When prepared
for the night. in case their tents are
not put up, the nurses climb into 1t
from the top. They also are provided
with sleeping bags. They have TO
take their own pillows, if they use
any.
Each nurse wears locked bracelet
of silver links which are fastened to
small identification tag of silver,
which is marked with the nurses
name in the center and in the lower
corner A. r. Gu. S. They also
wear a similar tag and chain around
their neck. In case they are killed
the latter chain and tag are taken in
charge by the government and even
tually sent home to their family.
The bracelet is left on their wrists.
Each nurse carries a governmer'
insurance policy, generally about
$4,000, on which they pay out of their
salaries about 81 a month, according
to their age. In case of death their
beneficiary will get $50 a month for
twenty years. If they are incapaci-
tated from wounds or illness they will
get the $50 month until able to take
up their duties again.

TRANSFORMING BELGIUM
IN FRENCH VILLAGE

One hundred Belgian families Will
soon be occupying as many four-room
cottages in a village which the Amer
lean Red Cross is building on a pic
turesque hillside just outside Of LIE
Havre, according to reports just re-
ceived from Havre. Every effort is
being made to have the village, when
complete, resemble a bit OF Belgium
transplanted in France. The village
will have paved streets, electric light
and an up-to-date water main sys-
tenn. The population will be selected
from the poorest of the refugees. No
family with less than four children
will be given a cottage.
Each cottage will have a garden
and will rent for Sc a month. Ten
ants, who cannot pay will be taken
are Of by some charitable organiza-
ton, but everyone who gets a cot
tage will be expected to work. The
rent from the cottages, it has been
figured, will pay the expense of run
ming. the town. There will be two
Belgian schools, with Belgian teach
ers; a Belgian priest, Belgian Off
Gals, and one of the cooperative
stores so popular in Belgium. The
cottages are portable and after the
war can be shipped to Belgium and
set up in the native towns of the peo'
pie who occupy them.

RUINS USED FOR
NEW DAY NURSERY

Avezano, Italy-The ruins left in
the wake of the Avezzano earthquake
of 1915 are being used by the Amer
lean Red Cross as material for the
construction of a day nursery in the
town of Sora, near here. Red Cross
officials feel that there is a vital and
immediate need for such a home for
babies in Sora and the masses of
tumbled wreckage left by the disaster
offers the only building material ready
earthquake, the two towns of Sora
and Avezzano were practically wiped
out. But inasmuch as Avezzano is
the bigger and more important place,
almost all the help which was given
to the sufferers by Italy and the rest
OF the world at that time, went to the
larger town, levaing Sora to rest in
abject poverty amongst its ruins-a
poverty which has been tripled and
aggravated by war conditions, thus
making it a highly necessary field for
Red Cross operations. Nothing has
been rebuilt in Sora. The people
have been compelled to live in novels
amongst the fallen walls of their
former homes. There are numbers
of children amongst these destitute
families to whom the Red Cross de-
sires to give aid and care. So the
ruins will grow again into homes. A
barracks will soon be ready, which
will care for 400 babies while their
mothers are earning a livelihood and
doing their WI patriotic duty by
working through the day at the har-
vest in the fields.

KNITTING MACHINE
CONSERVES YARN
This Fact Was Satisfactorily Proven
BY Mrs. Flaherty and Her Sister
At Hinsdale

Mrs. J. T. Rowe of Hinsdale has
just finished knitting IL yards of
socks, all in one length, for her sister,
Mrs. j.. f. Flaherty. Mrs. Flaherty
took yarn to Hinsdaale from here for
eight pairs of socks and the two sis
ters then worked out how they could
knit without having to set the knit
ting machine for each sock, so they
started in and knit the leg first, then
the heel and foot. Next they knit an
other foot, then heel and leg-leg,
heel, foot and so on until the end of
the yarn.
The yarn for the eight pairs to be
knit by hand made II pairs knit by
the machine, thus proving how great
a saving of wool it would be if we
could get much more of our knitting
done by machine. Mrs. Rowe is go
ing to try again to get the Glasgow
machine working. OF course, the top
ribs of the socks and toes. must be
done by hand, but the machine knit
ting can be undone both ways. Mrs.
Flaherty. is now busy putting ribs and
toes on the II pairs and hopes to have
them all completed by the End of her
visit.
Both'these ladies are rapid and tire
less knitters and Mrs. Flaherty's out
put OF sweaters last winter was a mar
vel to all her friends. Mrs. Rowe
knit five pairs for the Hinsdale chap
ter last week, besides all the work of
ALTERNATING and putting up her gar
den produce, canning and making
pickles.

AGAINST
MARINE DISASTERS

Preparedness against any marine
disaster that may occur in American
waters as the result of enemy SUBJ
marines, or any misfortune due to
other causes, has been completed by
the New York joint chapter commit
tee on disaster preparedness, which
has arranged to mobilize Red Cross
resources to meet any event. At the
time of the Carolina sinking, when a
shipload of refugees was landed in
Brooklyn, this committee was already
organized to meet the situation, and
the relief work in that case, in which
every survivor was provided with
warm food, clothing, transportation
and lodging as needed, was managed
under tentative plans.
Since then there have been meet
ings of the committee which have con-
firmed these preparations, and a sur
vey has been begun to put into the
hands of the executives of the COM
mittee complete information as to re-
sources of New York and nearby ci-
ties. In this work the metropolitan
Red Cross chapters and those along
the New Jersey coast have Joined
forces. Representing these combined
forces on the committee are j. s.
Ellsworth, chairman; DR.. William M.
Harris, Van Cortlandt chapter; Alex
ander M. Wilson, director Of civilian
relief, Atlantic division; Lawson Pur-
dy and Thomas J. Riley, representing
institutional members, and Aaron M.
Lopez, executive secretary.
The work of organization has ex-
tended down the coast in order that
small towns may be ready to DO their
share. In the case of the Carolina
some survivors we're landed as far
away as Atlantic City, and to prevent
small chapters along the coast line
from being caught without prepare
ton, a representative of the Atlantic
division staff has visited these chap
tiers and has helped to establish or

SOLDIER BOY PRAISES
HOME SERVICE WORK

This is what one American soldier
wrote to the home service section of
the Red Cross in his home town: 81
hope you won't mind my taking the
liberty to write to thank you for the
great help you have given my mother.
My mother is full Of praise for the
visitor Of the home service, for she
said that you did not help her fnan-
cially, but spiritually, so you see l
have a great deal to thank you for,
and l want you to feel that I appre-
ciate what you have done for my
mother and the children. l think, un-
der the circumstances, my mother is
fairly we'll fixed now that she re-
ceived the government allowance and
my brother is working, but l would
be greatly obliged if you stop in to
see my mother once in a while.
