1,413,OOO Woman Workers.

Mrs. Hartman said there now are
1.4l3,00O women doing the work of men
in Great Britain. She told of visit to
a munitions factory. where her CONVEX
sation with the woman director was inter-
rupted by two women who asked that they
might have leave because of bad news
from the front.
IN two years there has been a steady
stream of such requests, each meaning the
LOGS of loved ones; yet never has one
failed to come back, nor has there been
effort to make a. spurious appeal for SYM
pathy," the director told her
Among the first sights which brought
the war home most forcibly to her was
the spectacle at a station at night
with the constant procession OF
stretcher bearers, the interminahle
tramp, tramp tramp. as they unloaded
the wounded from the train"

Address by Former Ambassador.

H. B. F. Macfarland presided. Henry
White. former ambassador to France.
spoke Of the national aspects OF the
campaign for $1,000 900.
Among the valuable by-products of
the Red Cross work, he said. were the
development of.team work to an extent
that was surprising. in view of Ameri-
can inclinations toward individualism,
and the civilian relief work which had
brought home to Americans every
where one phase Of the organizations
work.
You need have no hesitation in
going before the American people to
ask for fund in view of the immense
work the Red Cross is doing" he said.
Until recently it has been hard for a
foreign people to realize that we are a
| nation with ideals and not devoted ex-
clusive!y to pursuit of the almighty
dollar. No one thing went so far to
dispelling that fallacy as the original
hundred million dollar fund and the
way 1t has been expended. That fund,
and the one we are about to raise. cori-
Stitute an immense shock and surprise
to the nation We are set out TO defeat"

Liquid Fire Victim "Lucky."

Speaking again of the spirit of the
English Tommy. she told of one SO
badly burned by liquid fire that he had
to be suspended by an arrangement
which would not permit his body to
touch the bed. Thinking he was un-
conscious. she said, My poor man,
what hard luck"
Opening one eye, the only discernible
spot thar was not blistered. he replied:
NO, ma am: I'm in good luck. l have
one sound eye
In Paris and in other cities French
soldiers wear old uniforms. They save
their good ones until they reach the
front, she explained. because they think
their attire impresses the Germans
when they are captured. The British
soldiers, on the other hand, save their
good uniforms for the visits to cities
while on leave.
IF the fathers and mothers of Amer
lea at home could see the conditions
under which their sons are fighting
they would be relieved Of much anx-
iety." the speaker continued. AT each
hosnital there is a Red Cross and the
Y. NJ. c. A., working in splendid co.
operation. One boy wrote home that

Tribute to British Hospitals.

Mrs. Hartman paid a tribute to Brit
ish hospitals. She said they were deco
rated beautifully, and every effort made
to give color and picturesqueness to
the soldiers surroundings
This is not a fad" she said zone
surgeon at the front told me that en-
vironmcnt had about 80 per cent to do
with the recovery Of the wounded |
mention this because it is one of the
things the American Red Cross seeks
to d"-to make our hospitals attractive
as well as efficient"
At one point she saw about each SOL
dier's head a right-colored parcel.
Asking for an explanation, she was told
they were comfort bags. The soldiers
demand that they be within reach, and
in the case of men whose hands have
been lost they are placed near their
cheeks so that they may touch them
and DE assured that they are at hand.
