RED CROSS HEROIC UNIT

Even with the physique and exper-
ience earned in years of adventure
throughout the globe Stephen n. Bobo
couldn't get by the army doctors when
the United States took up the sword,
but he didn't give up and he got to
the front as Red Cross man When
he came home he wore the Croix de
Guerre, awarded in recognition of one
of a series of heroic exploits while he
was serving with the Twenty-seventh
Division, and when that New York Ma
tional Guard organization marched up
Fifth avenue in triumph Bobo and his
little Red Cross unit marched with
il. signal mark of honor from the
fighting men. How this unit came in
to being, together with an account OF
some of its deeds, is told by Frank
Ward O'Malley in the July number of
the New Red Cross Magazine.

marked Capt. Bobo to Gen. Organ
one day shortly after the captain ar
rived near the big guns. "is gang

not. So I've cooked up "A plan to get

instead of sending them to the rear
for reclassifcation, you'll turn those
lads over to me, sir, Wen show you
something"
Which was done continues the
writer Day by day into the Bobo
rest camp came the men,
sad beyond measure because the sur
geons had found something in their
anatomical architecture which was
slightly out of kilter. Daily Capt.
Bobo put his unpromising material
a series of setting up exer-
cises."
Thus it was that shortly Capt Bobo

and in subsequent action proved IT,

is in progress was $4,000. There
were $4,000 patients engaged in edu-
cational work and enrollments in the
various courses, some of the men TAX
ing more than one course were 93,-
900. The total number of instructors
and aids was $500. and 100 separate
courses were being given. Of the

65 are ward or bedside cases in handi-
