WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING
FOR SOLDIERS IN FRANCE
Fight in the Ranks of the Red Cross Against
Pain, Disease and Death.

They have known very well the risks
they were takiDg-the two thousand
and more women who have gone to
France for varied services under the
American Red Cross, and the more
than nine thousand nurses whom the
American Red Cross has assigned to
foreign duty Under the United States
Army and Navy Nurse Corps.
They went under orders, as soldiers
do; prepared for any emcgencies as
soldiers do; they assumed many
strange and unforeseen tasks, ns sol.
diers do. Literally, they went as
fighters, against pain, disease and
death.
A mobile surgical unit OF nurses
those words don't mean very much,
perhaps, the first time we hear them.
But see such an unit follow an army
up TO an advanced post; see how the
nurses work with steady hands beside
the surgeons as the stretchcrs with the
newly wounded are brought in. See
thousands OF them in evacuation hos
pitfalls, base hospitals, convalcSccnt
hospitals, tuberculosis hospitals; some
of them In French military hospitals
where sometimes our men are sent :;
See them with their specialized skill
In head surgery, or fracture work, or
pSychiatry all these women who
keep head and hand cool and steady,
when the ambulances unload great
harvests OF wounded. Then we say
the words "Our Nurses" as we say
sour Soldiers" "Our Sailors" "Our
Marines"
On tho night Of March 25th, when
the Germans were fast advancing, and
already within six kilometers of
Annel, an outpost OF Compiegne, two
American doctors remained, who un-
der order OF the French government,
had sent the patients and personnel
OF their hospital farther back the
night before. The artillery was deaf
ening, but the American Ambulance
sections kept bringing their wounded
to Annel. These doctors said that as
long as the American boys brought
them wounded they would operate.
Two nurses volunteered from Com
piegne, and so In the deserted chateau
the two surgeons, the two nurses and
the ten drivers worked calmly on,
while the huzz of aeroplanes shook
iine uir. and the blasting guns shook
the earth.

Several hundred women are work
ing over there in the American Red

hundred of these cRnteens along the
French and American lines OF com
munication, and the women are work
ing under great pressure, feeding
thousands OF soldiers. The Red Cross
is also establishing cantecns by mill
tary request at number OF Aviation
Camps. American women conduct
these stations, comprising canteen and
club and reading room. Everyone OF
these cantecns has something OF the

because OF this, no less than the ia.

Weeping stove pipes. from the joints

often a difficult trouble to remedy. It
Is due to insufficient draft. The smoke

denses and the liquid so formed oozes
