Trinity chapel in New Orleans since
1884. He takes a keen interest in the
work of the Red Cross and in all war
activities. He regards membership in
the Red Cross q sacred privilege.
But to go on with the story of war
without the Red Cross. Reverend
BakeWell can tell only little part Of
the horrors of such warfare. One of
the things that the soldiers suffered
most from was monotony-yes, and
the "blues." The soldier of today does
not know what that word means with
the Red Cross and canteen workers
and the Y. NJ. C. A. to entertain hin
when be is well and to care for him
when he is i'll or wounded. Read the
following extract from the diary Of n.
NJ. Baker, chaplain of the One Hun
dred and Sixteenth Illinois regiment,
to get an idea of the camp life in the
days Of eighteen sixty-something.
Bang, bang, bang! The constant
firing for so long a tine becomes mo.
notonous, one longs for something new,
something that will cause excitement
and shake off the ennui induced ny
this hot weather. Excitement at last
"a woman in camp, Mrs. Hoge of the
sanitary commission.
Reminded of Mothers.
ut is amusing to see as she passes
how the boys leave off their rude
pranks and settle down as demure as
kittens. She stops and talks kindly
to every group and the boys all feel
better after it. They are as polite and
proper in their conduct toward each
other for full five minutes after she is
gone as if they had suddenly been
transported to civilization and to the
drawing room. Oh, what refining and
restraining influence even this wom-
an can exert. She is an old lady
and not handsome, but to use the ex-
preston of the boys, She has soul as
large as a wagon wheel and somehow
reminds them all of their mothers
Here is another typical day in camp
described in the same diary:
"Rained today. oh, how tedious @
rainy day is in camp! We eat break
fast, then lie down, then get up, eat
dinner, and lie down again, etc. etc.
Nothing to read, nobody to talk to,
pothing to do but to dream of home
pnd loved ones"
Even these few stories cannot half
describe war without the Red Cross.
What about the food the soldiers had?
What about the conditions in the hos
pitfalls? These questions can be an
swered from the diary of another Civil
war veteran, Frank L. Richardson,
well-known New Orleans attorney, who
entered the war when a lad of seven
teen, and unfortunately spent most Of
the time between those years of 1861
1865 in army hospitals.
aNo one can appreciate the work of
the Red Cross as well as we Civil war
veterans" says Mr.. Richardson.

NEW ORLEANS.-'Red Cross DUR
ing the Civil was? Why, bless you,
there was no such thing-nor any 9TH
er organization to relieve the suffering
and distress of the wounded soldiers" "
And Rev. Gordon Bakewell sighed
deeply and there was a break in his
voice ts he reviewed those days Of
warfare in which he took so active q
part.
with due respect to our boys, they
will never see war as we have seen it, !"
continued Reverend Bakewell, thanks
to the noble work of the Red Cross.
In those days there were more who
died through ignorance, lack of proper
attention, and av0idable disease than
from the Yankees bullets. AS for those
that were killed, their lot was fortu-
nate compared to that of the poor,
wounded wretches.
''To be sure, we chaplains did our
bit In the line of doctoring and nursing.
During a big battle we were at the
front among the soldiers, cheering On
the fighting, rendering what assistance
we could to the wounded and praying
with the dying.
Training? Why, two days on the
battlefield was all the training We re-
guired. / tell you we We're experts On
all the frst-aid problems" boasted the
old veteran.

fghting-what then? No smiling
young women-I believe you call them
canteen wOrkers-to serve hot ch0c0-
late and coffee to the wornout fighters
often not even little water to
quench their fevered thirst. AS for
food, that was pretty often out of the
question. When we wanted food we
had to fight for it."
Reverend Bakewell has had the
thrilling experiences Of q soldier as
well as the somewhat tanner expert
ences of chaplain. He first enlisted
as an orderly sergeant, and, after the
battle of Shiloh, received an honorable
discharge on account of Ill health.
Upon his recovery he re-enlisted as a
chaplain.
One Of the stories he delights tell
ing is how he escaped being shot as
spy. He was on the train when he met
two young Virginians "who had never
smelt gunpowder" and boasting how
they would ''do the Yankees up" Il
remarked" said Reverend Bakewell,
s'that though our enemies, they had
made us respect their fighting even at
the cannon's mouth" When the train
stopped at Atlanta, two detectives I'M
medlately arrested the young soldier.
He knew what was In store for him
