HOSPITAL ORGANIZES
FOR $4,000 drive
Emergency Institution Appoints
Team Captains.

Put Washington over the top in be
half of one of its most valued institu-
tions."
This was the admonition yesterday
of Clifford L. johnson, campaign
manager, who outlined plans for next
weeks drive for $4,000 before the
executive committee, directors and
ladies' auxiliary of the Emergency
Hospital. The hospital officers and
leaders in the campaign met at cam
paign headquarters, 1222 street,
where plans are being completed to
raise this fund.
The captains, who will head teams
of ten workers each, are: Mrs. Thom-
as T. Gaff, DIR. H. NJ. Kaufman, Mrs.
Richard Harlow, Mrs. A. G. McClin-
took, Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson,
Mrs. Walter R Tuckerman, DIR. w.
P. Carr, W. Brown Carr, Mrs. Arthur
T. Brice, DR.. Philip r. Roy, Otto j.
DeMoll, Walter Brownley, ii. w.
Robertson, Charles -Auftenthie, John
B. Cochran and Charles B. Howry.
Four more are to be appointed.
An idea Of the extent of the work
the Emergency Hospital performs is
contained in records just compiled for
the fiscal year ending July l, 1917.
Since then the addition to Washing
toms population has exceeded by far
the demands upon the hospital.
In the emergency department, for
the year ending July l, 1917, $40 new
cases were admitted, and there were
6,S91 revisits. There were 800 cases
sent to private wards and rooms, and
1872 charity patients.
One of the important features of
the hospitals work is the training
school for nurses.

He issued a formal statement in
which he urged that all the merchant
ships that left this country should be
armed and on March Il the United
states announced that an armed
guard would be placed on all Ameri-

heels OF this came the word that the
Germans had retired to the Hinden-
