Historic Flag on the Way
The women who are conducting the
| rummage shop. from the sales of which
THE Sun Tobacco Fund derives half OF
tie receipts. are looking anxiously for
the arrival from France Of a service nag
! which has been flying from a dressing
station near the heaviest fighting front
for more tt an two years.
| This flag IL the offering TO the rum
magers' of Capt. L. H. Bernd. a medical
officer. whose experiences behind the
lines have been exceedingly exciting He
is the brother of Mrs. Jessie Baskerville
who. with Mrs. Ida V. Enders. inaugu-
rated this shor for war charity sales and
work at II West Forty-fifth street. In
| response to a request that he donate
something OF interest In the way Of a
war souvenir Capt. N>rnd started the
nag on its way over.
In the engagement near Hamlette. In
France, the nag had a poignant effect
on the wounded who were quartered
there when the village was being shelled.
The house adjoining the hospital was
blown up and It became necessary to re-
move the wounded soldiers without de-
lay. They were loaded on a Garford
truck and the chauffeur. under Capt,
Bernd's orders. was about to retreat
when the Captain halted him and ran
back TO get the flag flying over the
dressing station. When he hauled II
down the chauffeur's cheer was feebly
but enthusiastically echoed by the
wounded soldiers
| Half an hour following the evacuation
Hamlette was overrun by the Boches.
Mrs baskerville. with the consent of
DR. Alcinous B. Jamson, owner of the
house and the use of which he donates
TO this war relief, will fly the flag at the
front door when It arrives.
By the way, the women who arc at
tending TO this sale received a power
machine for their work after the need
| was mentioned In THE Sun, but UP to
yesterday no one had sent in materials
| for shirts and pajamas. These have to
! be purchased. Almost any kind of cot
| ton or woollen material will serve. Tho
| output of garments which they send to
| hospitals abroad is 5000 a month.
Towels md Napkins Needed.
I'VE need also badly said Mrs Bas-
kerville yesterday. "old bath towels and
napkins. They are exactly the kind OF
! stun out Of which we can make the new
dressings which are so efficacious. With
| one of these new dressings. invented by
Or. Alexis Carrel. laid upon an open
! wound a soldier can lie without being
| attended to for three days without fear
| Of gangrene."
At this season when the old towels
and serviettes are being thrown away
by many housekeepers it should seem
that the rurnmage shop workers ought
to be deluged with this needful material.
Among the fund contributors In this
mornings list are two faithful repeaters,
Gordon Gordon OF 165 Broadway and
DR. Z. r. Steadman. s08 Hudson street,
Hoboken.
| The United Cigar Stores Company
celebrates by adding s742 to its amount
for soldiers smokes. This represents q
recent collection from the boxes in just
a few of the stores and brings the tota

posits of certificates and coupons in the
fund boxes are. The deposi.Sries are to
be found in all United and Schultz stores

the fellows.
