Presidents Ship
To Be Transport
For War Babies
George Washington Sails for
France Equipped With
Nursing Bottles, Matted
Milk and Teething Rings

During the peace conference the
transport George Washington became
known as the Presidents ship, but on
its next return from France it will
be in new guise-the War Baby Ship.
When it sailed yesterday it carried
nursing bottles, matted milk, prepared
foods and other comforts and pacifiers
for 200 babies coming over with their
mothers who married American soldiers
in France.
DR.. G. A. Kicker, the ships surgeon,
who expects a continuing and steadily
growing baby passenger traffic. also
asked for baby scales to keep tab on
the effect of sea voyages on the lusty
progeny of American warriors. But
Miss Edna ]. Wakefield. the official Red
Cross hostess for war brides coming
from abroad, vetoed that. She thought
the ships scales would do. But the
chief steward and pharmacist were SUD-
piled by the Red Cross with everything
else that might be required by the
youngsters on their trip to the land Of
their fathers.
Banner Week Recorded
"This has been the banner week in
the reception of war brides and war
babies," said Miss Wakefield yesterday.
with the arrival Of the Cap Finis-
terre, with 1877 war brides, we shall
have received since last Sunday 373
war brides. There were also sixteen
babies. one of them ten months old.
OF the sixteen. fourteen arrived on the
Louisville, which brought seventy-6vc
war brides last Monday morning. 1t
was the biggest bunch of war brides
and babies that ever has come to these
shores. Officers of the Louisville cele-
brated the event with a great baby
show.
"And some of the babies were beau
ties, too, although I do not think anv
of the fourteen would have stood
chance with the seven -months-old boy
of Edward and Marie Louise Baker,
who came over on the Great Northern
dressed like four-year-old, in checked
coat and trousers, equipped with pock
cts. He made hit with US, as he did
with the crew of the ship and the
troops abroad"
Received at Hostess House
Miss Wakefield, upon seeing that the
war brides fulfil the requirements of
the immigration authorities, escorts
them to the Hostess House conducted
by the Y. W. C. A. at Lexington Ave
nue. and Forty-first Street, unless The
brides are met at the pier by rela-
tives. At the Hostess House war brides
are entertained until arrangements can
be made for their departure to the
home towns of their husbands.

dents from colleges and seminaries to
teach them Bible stories, handicraft,
