Meals voice was still ready, held
so by cold determination to act

as he took up his reading again he
spoke-dryly

Neal opened his mouth as If to

RED CROSS DOES THE WORK
American Women In England Carry on
Vast Aid for Wounded - Con-
valescents to Recuperate Amid
Pleasant Surroundings.

MISUNDERSTANDING Court, an old
Jacobean mansion that stands back
almost hidden by the tall elms off the
Southampton road and is said TO have
been one of the favorite hunting boxes
of the first King Charles, has been
converted into hospital for 1000
Americans by the American Red
Cross.
The work Of the latter organization
now comprises more than twenty de-
partments, and is carried out by Amer

Great Britain before the war; many
of them the wives of Englishmen and
the others wives Of relatives Of Amer
leans In business in this country.
Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, widow of the
former American ambassador TO Great
Britain, was a pioneer in the work Of
the American Red Cross in this coun-
try.
The American Red Cross has pro-
vided a number of hospitals in Great
Britain, some of them established be-
fore America entered the war, for the
use Of the British wounded; others es-
tablished since that time for the ac-
commodation of both British and
Americans.
one Of the Best.
One of the finest is the MoSsley Hill
hospital at Liverpool, which is stated
by American army doctors and nurses
under Maj lido J. WHO, formerly pro-
fessor of surgery In the University of
Michigan. Another American hospital
de luxe In London is the new naval
hospital on Park lane, which occupies
Aldford house, the home OF Capt.
Frederick Guest, NJ. p, who placed 1t
at the disposal of the Red Cross.
There are several other American
hospitals In London, notably the Lam
caster Gate hospital for officers and
