Hospitals on Wheels
For American Arnv
lStof Corresponde1acel |

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Hospitals
on wheels, operating directly behind
the front trenches, will be provided
for the care of American soldiers in
France under plan announced TO-DAY
by the American Women's Hospitals.
Except when pressed into such SER
vice, the moving hospitals will not be
for the treatment of the wounded.
Their principal work will be "niDping
disease in the bud" and preventing it's
spread among the troops
Almost no facilities are at present
provided for men showing the first
symptoms Of trench fever and other
diseases, but not sick enough to war
rant their removal to the already CON
gested casualty hospitals behind the
lines. This need will be filed by the
hospitals on wheels, moving forward or
back with the troops and from place
to place along the line, very must like
u modern military kitchen.
The hospitals will be stated entirely
by women, following the general plan
of the civilian hopital to be established
in Northern France by the Anne rican
Women's Hospitals. A campaign dl-
rected by Dr. Gertrude Walker, of New
York City, will be opened to raise
funds for both projects on March 26

"An army in good health is an army
Of high morale" Mrs. Walter PenheId
of Washington, d members of the adj
visory committee, said to-day. "Men
half sick are bound to be discouraged
when they find themselves wet. and
cold in the front line trenches They
know that if wounded they have little
chance Of recovery. The very knowl-
edge that there is woman's hospital
just back Of the line TO care for them
when they show the first symptoms of
disease will benefit the morale of the
entire army.
"Fcw men in the first stages of
trench fever recognize the disease. If
they do they hesitate to tell their
commanding officers of their condition,
because they know there are practically
no facilities for caring for them. Con-
seauently the disease goes on to an adj
9anced stage and the men must be
invalideG home"

Hope to Send Unit Abroad
to Aid Volunteer

The American Women's Hospitals
will begin tomorrow ten-day cam
paign to raise s25O.0OO with which it is
hoped to send abroad a hospital unit
directed by women physicians for the
care of the Jueoslavs who have volun-
teered for service in the Serbian army
against Austria and her allies.
Five thousand men. most of them of
Austrian birth, have already gone
abroad for this purpose and are now in
training in Tunis. Lieutenant Colonel
Milan PrIbicevich, chief or the Serbian
War Mission. who Is urging me further
enlistment of the Jugoslavs here. has
asked the American Women's Hospi~
tails, for their aid This will be forth
coming, according to DR.. Rosalie
Slaughter Morton, chairman of the or
ganization. if the people of America
Will furnish the money needed.
These men have volunteered as rev.
olutionists to help free the enslaved
millions of their brethren now under
Austrian rule" said the letter. "They
are truly the modern Crusaders, for.
being technically Austrian citizens.
they could not have been forced into
service. Moreover, many of them are
leaving families. Virtually all of them
are worklngmen, and they will get no
pay. Serbia has no money with which
to pay its army or maintain its sol
diers' dependents. Tney must rely on
the people of America, the country in
which they have been making their liv-
ing.
"A hospital provided by the people of
America and stated by the courageous
women surgeons of this country will be
of great material and moral comfort"
All Serbia is in desperate need of
medical care, civilians as we'll as sol
diers 1t is the hope of the American
Women's Hospitals to establish a base
hospital for the Jueoslav volunteers,
and in, addition establish a chain of
clinics and dispensaries throughout
France and Italy, manned entirely by
women surgeons and laboratory assist
ants.
The amount required from the pend
ing capaign will be only beginning Of
this work. There are in this country
about 10000 Jugoslavs of military age,
and it is believed that at least Is 900 Of
these will eventually enlist in the Ser

School Plattsburgs''
To Train Patriots

Young America is TO be more thor
oughly trained in patriotism, and as
stepping stone to this objective teach
ers of America are to receive such
training first
This encouragement was made yes
ferday by the National Security League.
Teachers Plattsburgs," which will
give instruction to 800 900 public
school teachers in patriotic education,
Will be held in virtually every state in

idea OF the scheme is TO concentrate
on TIE teachers ana thereby reach the
children.
The objects of the training centres
are twofold--actiye combating of Ger
man propaganda and awakening more
responsible citizenship.
These Teachers Plattsburgs" will
be conducted through the medium of
the summer schools for teachers that
are held every year. 1t has not yet
been determined how many centres
will be used. but the matter is being
taken UP with all the 700 summer
schools in the country. and it is prob

"Bufaloes" Bid
New York Goodby
With Dixie Songs
Singing Regiment of Ne.
groes Entertains Two
Audiences

The "Buffaloes,' known 20 the War
Department as the 367th Regiment, Ma
tional Army, but TO the public as "'yhc
Singing Regiment" of negroes, sang
farewell to New York yesterday, in the
afternoon and evening. at the Manhat-
tan Opera House. OF course no one
knows just when the regiment will
leave for France. But the audience
he'd the feeling that. it was bidding
the men godspeed.
What they sang were no regular
boasts, but the old songs OF home and
friends, as only negroes can sing them.
lhere were a thousand OF them on the
stage, squatting or standing behind
their stage trencnes. while The Boche.
perhaps, slept. There was "See 1t
Through" the regimental song com
posed by Sergeant George T. Battle
There were the old songs Of Dixie"
My Old Kentucky Home" and "Old
Black Joe," and the splendid old camp
meeting song, "Roll, Jordan, Roll" And
there was The Long, Long Trail"
which has become the "Tipperary" Of
the American expeditionary forces.
They sang with the rhythm in which
they are unsurpassed. In "Mister Zip,
Zip, Zip" whole sea of heads was
sWaylng from one side to the other.
while white teeth cleaned and white
eyeballs glistened. They sang with
that softest and sweetest of all the
English dialects. There were no ugly
sounds mingling with their golden
tones in MA Ola Kain-tucky Home"
Many minor turns enlivened the pro
grammc. There were Corporal Drayton
and Corporal Williams and Corporal
Miller and others contributing the
stunts learned in the old days of peace
The regimental jazz orchestra played
and the regimental harmonica band fol-
lowed. Sometimes everybody whistled,
or syncopated the song with the clap
ping of hands. 1t was such festival
as only the negro race could provide.
This is to say that it was lively
music. But every one knew what was
meant when they sang:
There's long, long night of waitin'
Until ma dreams all come true;
Till the day when ah1l be goin' down
That long, long trail with you"
And every one cheered them as they
left the theatre for Camp Upton and
