EDWIN BROWN COMMENDS
WAR WORK TO H0MEF0LKS

Editor Leader. Having now been
in camp a little more than two
months, have had opportunity to OBJ
serve with increasing admiration the
tireless efforts of these little groups
of heroes who make up the faithful
army of "Y" workers and those of
other welfare organizations. And
heroes they are, for they have given
up even as much as the soldier, and
are every one volunteers. ! have
lounged, smoked read, written let
ters and to my every desire used both
the "Y" huts and the K. of G. hall
as though they had been my own
home. have seen friendless, almost
penniless, illiterate men come in to
these huts all downcast, lonely and
afraid, and have seen them emerge
with their faces polished with that
smile which comes when one has been
given to drink of the milk of human
| kindness.
! have seen the sympathetic wo-
men who form the personnel Of the
hostess house put comforting arms
around some distressed mother, wife
or sister; have seen them go to any
amount Of trouble to '1ocate" hus-
band, brother or loved one when not
even his correct address was known
and it is not simple thing to find
one man in this camp Of thousands.
At times, when on special duty,
/ have missed a mess" and have
often gone up to enjoy the hos
pitality of the hostess house cafe
terra, where good food is served at
lowest prices / have wandered into
the Jewish Welfare club house Of
spotless white, and there have been
received with the greatest cordiality
and courtesy When inclined to read,
I've sought the camp library, where
solicitous attendants will either find
or suggest q book to suit any mood.
And now we hear that the brave"Sal-
walton Army Lassie" is to be in our
midst.
Such magnificent enterprises are
being supported by voluntary sub
scriptions taken among the people
of the United States, and this United |
War Work campaign fund will be d.
vided pro rata between all of them. |
For our men, I'll say that their at
titude toward these splendid, self
sacrificing men and women is one of |
reverence, and the grateful appre-
citation of millions Of khaki-clad SOL
diers follows in their wake. The
campaign has as its zenith the sum
Of $170,500,000, and as one who is
ION the ground and knows, / de-
sire, if possible, that my endorsement
Of this work appear in print, that
those who may be skeptical may have
it from private in the army that
money and still more money
could not sbe spent to better advan-
tage. Not for such men as myself,
who have loved ones who
give me their presence constantly
through the medium Of letters, but
FOR that lad who can neither read
nor write; that boy who is away
from home for the first time; for
hat boy who has never had a home.
Very earnestly,
EDWIN BROWN.

TRANSFER PATIENTS

Providence Hospital Takes Surplus
from Sister Institution.

In order to give more space and
attention to the treatment of
scarlet fever patients. the annex
of the Garfield Hospital conducted
for those suffering with the measles
will hereafter be closed, and
measles patients will be assigned
by the health department to Privi-
dence Hospital.
Both hospitals have annexes in
which patients suffering from scar
let fever. diphtheria, measles and
other minor communicable diseases
are treated. 1t has been customary
to assign all patients suffering from
all other kinds of minor diseases to
Garfield Hospital. AS diphtheria is
not prevailing to any considerable
extent at present, there are many
vacant beds in Providence Hospital
Sacrlet fever is more prevalent
than usual according to health de-
partment officials, and the institu-
tion is filled with patients suffering
from that disease, in addition to
those suffering from measles, cere-
bro-spinal meningitis, and other
similar disorders.
By assigning to Providence Hos
pital such measles patients as here
after require hospital treatment,
beds that would otherwise he used
for them at Garfield Hospital will
be made available for patients suf-
fering from scarlet fever.
