women and War Work" you will recall that
she tells the self-same story about the first
woman's medical unit in England Three
well-known women physicians formed what
was called The Women's Hospital Corps and
offered it to the government who very politely
declined to consider it. Women doctors in mill
tary hospitals, who ever heard of such a thing!
Not bit discouraged the Women's Hospital
Corps turned to their ally across the Channel
and their services were gladly accepted by the
French government. They were immediately
allotted to the hospital which had been estab-
lished at Claridge's Hotel, in Paris Their
work here very soon attracted the attention of
the British Royal Army Medical Corps, and
they were asked to open British hospital at
WmcreuX. This afterward turned over
to the Army Medical Corps and the Women's
Corps were given Il hospital of 700 beds in
London, and so it went on, until now women
physicians and surgeons form a very impor-
tant and highly respected part of the staff
of the British Royal Army Medical Corps.
The work of the Scottish Womens Hospitals
is famous. These hospitals were organized by
the Scottish Federation of the National Union
of Women's Suffrage Societies, and it was the
example set by them which inspired the Ma
tonal American Woman Suffrage Association
to organize and support this first American
womens hospital unit. This unit was formed
some months ago by four women physicians,
all of whom are on the staff of the New York
Infirmary for Women and Children. DR.. Caro-
lima S. Finley is the official director of the en-
terprse, and she has the cooperation and able
assistance of three other women, Dr. Alice
Gregory, DR.. Anna Won Sholly and DR.. Mary
Lee Edwards. 1t is significant fact and one
of which the members of the National Won1-
ans Suffrage Association are enormously
proud that this first womans unit is led by
physicians from the institution which was
founded by that great pioneer suffragist ply
scian, DR.. Elizabeth Blackwell.
DR.. Finley has been in France for several
weeks making the final arrangements with the
> French government for the establishment of
the hospital which the unit is to conduct. This
hospital, while it may at forty-eght hours
notice from the government be converted into
a military hospital for sick and wounded SOL
diers is primarily intended to look after the
needs of the civilians who still remain amid
the ruins Of their native villages AS one
New-York tribune., 1918-02-17

val in France tell how anxiously the workers
in these villages are awaiting the arrival of
the unit and how great is the need for it. The
last Of these read: "Great need for unit Civil
ians taken many miles for hospital treatment.
Must do much surgery. Need specialists, sew
eral dspensaries, ambulance service"
DR.. Finley writes of the cordiality with
which the idea of the hospital unit has been
received by the authorities, who much prefer it
to having individual physicians visit the peo-
pie because the unit includes specialists for
different diseases and has much better equip
ment than single physician could carry.
The site of the hospital is the village of
Guiscard, in the Department of the Aisne. This
is in the very heart of the devastated district,
sixty miles from Paris and ten miles from the
junction of the French and British lines 1t
is not far from the chateau at Benarcourt,
where Miss Anne Morgan and Mrs. Dixie have
worked so long and conscientiously. 1t is
also only few miles from the village where
the Smith College unit is located.
The French government has given the Wom-
ems Oversee Hospitals, U. S. A. (Which is the
official title of the organization) three adjoin-
ing houses surrounded by lovely old walled
garden in the centre of the town. Here the
who are sailing in the first contingent
will set up their equipment and open the first
American women's hospital.
There are thirty-one women who sailed last
week, including six doctors, number of
nurses aids,'' who will do the unpacking and
set up the equipment, woman plumber, cleo
trician, mechanician, carpenter, dentist,
stress and two women chaufeurs, Miss Noun
tain and Miss Lopez, from the Motor Corps of
the National League for Woman's Service. A
little later, when all is in ORDER second con-
tingent, sixty strong will join them This sec
ond company is made up almost entirely of
doctors and trained nurses.
There will be fifty beds in the hospital, but,
outside of this very important feature of
the work is the travelling dispensary which is
to be fitted up a motor truck and sent out
to all the villages within a. radius of fifty
miles. This travelling dispensary is to be fully
equipped with all the very latest appliances
and will carry doctor, trained nurse and
a nurses aid. 1t will be driven by one of the
hospital chauffeurs and will remain in each
village as long as it is needed. An ambulance
accompanies the truck, SO that patients who
New-York tribune., 1918-02-17
By ELENE FOSTER


Asst WEEK witnessed the depart
ure for France OF our first unit of
IL women physicians and surgeons. You
..,o have been accustomed all your lives to the
;aea of women practitioners may not realize
What this means. You may not be conscious
.f the fact that this is in the nature of an
;,rovation, that women physicians and sur
x,ons have never before, in all our history,
so,ducted war hospital-and that within ten
,r;es of the firing line. "lt just hasn't been
dome" and so when the women physicians who
orcanzed the unit offered its services to the
,overs at Washington they were amazed to
find themselves up against stone wall which
they could neither surmount nor pull down.
PRAYERS and arguments were of no avail for
# seems that only members of the Medical
Reserve Corps can be sent on military duty
and women have never been admitted to mem
hership in this corps.
There was no more to be said, but the di-
rectors of the unit had other resources-they
offered their services to the French govern
ment. which accepted them most gratefully.
and so it happens that the first American
vomen's hospital unit will sail away under
the protection of the French flag, it's entire
equipment donated by the Red Cross and
its maintenance pledged by the National
American Woman's Suffrage Association. Poor
old Uncle Sam hasn't finger in the pie, but
lust wait until these women prove their eff
cheney and usefulness; wait until the French
government decorates few of them for BRAY
ery, and then see the old gentleman swell up
with pride and highway set about to open the
ranks of the Medical Reserve Corps to women!
History is forever repeating itself, and every
day we are encountering the same problems
which England had to meet in 1914. The same
cid red tape will have to be cut sooner or later,
and if we could only realize this and get out
the official scissors at once, think of the heaps
of trouble and suffering that might be saved!
Isn't it amazing that we sit here working
out our problems. as it were, behind closed
blinds when if we would only open our shutters
and pull up our shades and look across the
street we might learn little of what our
neiehbor has done or left undone, and maybe
profit by her mistakes.
The case Of the Woman's Medical Unit is
only one example Of this. If you have read

ment may be sent back to Guiscard at once
The women's clubs all over the country are
taking great interest in our fir7t women's
hospital overseas, and three have already sent
in substantial contributions. The Colony Club
has given motor truck and Soross and Civ
itas have each given ambulance.
By the time the first green shoots ap-
pear on the stumps of the few trees which the
Hun has been kind enough to leave standing
the first American women's hospital over
seas will be in fine running order. By that
time the old garden Will have been ploughed
up and sowed with vegetables by the agri-
culturist of the unit; plumbing system will
have been installed in the houses by the woman
plumber; partitions will have been torn down
and big, airy hospital wards will have been
made by the woman carpenter; the kitchen will
have been put IN order by the housekeeper;
the laboratory Will have been fitted up by the
laboratory technician and the staff Of doctors,
nurses, nurses aids, dietitians and pharma-
cists, all in brand uniforms will stand
ready to receive the wretched souls who for
four terrible years have lived, many of them,
IN the cellars of their former homes, with
one to minister to either their bodies or their
souls. Who could blame them if they slammed
illness for the sake of sleeping for Just one
night IN of those neat white beds9
And this is only the first of what the Ma
tional American Suffrage Association hopes
will be chain Of hospitals. The second is
already planned to be opened in the spring
somewhere the Meuse. Would you like to
help in this work? Twenty-Five cents day
