Southern soldiers to the number of
1s4OO lying in the great Army debarka-
tiOn hospitals of New York, are de-
pendent for their first touches Of home
cheer and welcome, on the efforts OF
inst few women who are striving
Valiantly to meet the needs of the stu
alton but have found themselves over
Whelmed by the work. Mrs. Leroy
BrOun of the Southern Society who
has charge of the welcoming of wound
"a men, centering at the Hail of States,
n1aintained by War Camp Community
Service at q West 25th St.. has APP
pealed repeatedly for more volunteers
from the states of Alabama, Arkansas,
North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Loui-
afana, Mississippi, Virginia, and West
Virginia, and has a few representatives
ef some of these states picked as Chair
men for their own commonwealths, but
she has not been able to find sufficient
volunteers to take care of separate
desks for each state, as should be doRe
IN view of the great number Of wounded
men arriving here daily, sometimes to
the number of 1000 in "a hours.
The Southern Society maintains at
the Sewannee House, 1874 East 58th ST.,
. home center for the southern soldiers
and those who are able to find their
way there are entertained lavishly. The
men who are unable to leave the hos
pitfalls or who have only a few days in
thG debarkation hospitals, however, are
dependent for their welcome on letters
sent by State committees in the Hall
ae States, and Mrs. Broun has been un-
able to recruit sufficient forces to write
% all the southern men.
The Southern states mentioned are
ssmewhat at a disadvantage as COM
cared with their sisters of Maryland
Tennessee, South Carolina, Kentucky,
and Texas, which maintain separate
