RETURNED HOME.
Capt. s. M. b. Smith Mt Home After
Year i'm France.

On Friday, Nov. 18th, 1918, Capt. S.
M. B. Smith returned to his home
and family in this city. Captain
smith, who enjoyed an unusually large
practice in medicine in this city, was
one of the first to feel the necessity of
giving his services to his country for
overseas work. This he did a little
over a year ago, engaging in Red Cross
work. He was medical director in a
dispensary hospital for refugees in
st. Etieme, France, a city of about
$4,000 inhabitants. The staff there
consisted of about twenty physicians
as there were about $4,000 refugees
from France and Belgium in this city
and the work was at all times suffic-
liant to keep the force busy. During
his stay there the people established
a hospital with 100 beds. The work
of which is to be taken over by French
physicians as soon as they can be re-
lieved from the front. All American
physicians, Capt. Smith says, will be
released by April LIST, 1919.
Capt. Smith departed from France
on the 30th of October and was in
New York in time to enter into the
peace celebration in that city on the
18th of November.
All are delighted over the return of
Capt. Smith. He will at once take
up the practice of his profession.
