Visits wounded soldiers
AZ Walter Rcd HoSpltaI.

Another kindly thing which Gem
eral Pershing did was to go out to
Walter Reed Hospital on Thursday
night for the Pennsylvania night"
celebration, arranged by Mrs. Henry
Rea. This was by way OF being her
farewell to the boys for whose well
fare she has worked so devotedly, as
she has resigned her position as Field
Director OF the Red Cross and was
leaving next day for her home in Sc
Wfckley, Pa. General Pershing made
a little address. Senator Knox, Sam
uel B. Rae, formerly president OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad, and Wallace
". Atterbury, who had charge OF
transportation abroad during the war,
were also present, each had a few
words to say; and the boys who
crowded the Red Cross recreation
house, where the enterta.nment took
place. we're reused 10 a high pitch OF
enthusiasm.
They were all, however. a bit low
in their minds at the thought OF say
ing good-by to Mrs. Rae. She has the
distinction Of being the only woman
to be made Field Director OF the Red
Cross and she has done a remarkable
work among the wounded. A wealthy
woman, she hau contributed literally
in money, but more than that she has
given without stint OF her time, her
strength, her sympathy and her en-
thusiasm. And she's done 1t all In
such a quiet way that don't suppose
the story OF what she has accom-
plished will ever be known.
Among her other benevolences. Mrs.
Rea gave the Red Cross house at
Sewickley. Pa, where she makes her
home, and il Is said to be, one OF the
most complete and best equipped
houses in the country. Mr. Rea was
a member Of the War Industries
Board and since the end Of the war
there has been nothing to keep him
in Washington. Consequently Mrs.
Rea has simply been lingering on
