WOMEN'S CLUBS HELP
THE WOMEN'S HOSPITAL

Women's clubs throughout the coun-
try are becoming interested in the
.plucky little hospital unit, stated by
women, which has recently sailed for
France to work behind the lines for
the restoration of women and children.
The Colony Club OF New York city
has donated a motor truck, and Soro-
sis, the oldest incorporated woman's
club In the United States, has given a
present to celebrate its fiftieth birth
day. The present Is a $4,000 ambu-
lance to go to France with the hospf-
tai unit and run on errands OF kind
ness for the French children and their
mothers. Civitas, a large Brooklyn
club, has presented another ambulance

the hospitals.
! A fifty bed hospital will be stationed
behind the lines in one of the most
devastated areas In France. While 1t
will be at the call of the French War
Department for the care of the mill
tary wounded, its direct object Is to
build up the broken down women and
children who have suffered from lack
Of care during the occupation of their
towns by war forces.
In a cablegram received from Doctor
Finley the dire need of the French
people for the help to be secured
through the hospital Is set forward in
q startling sentence or two-"Great
need for unit Civilians taken many
miles for hospital treatment Must do
much surgery: need specialists, ambu-
lance service, several dispensaries."
1t will be recalled that the French
High Commissioner, Monsieur Tardieu,j
was most hospitable to the idea Of the,
unit from the start.
The fund for the upkeep Of the hos
pital was formally assumed by the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage AS,

vention In Washington, d. c.. last De-.
