RED CROSS ACTIVE
IN DISASTER RELIEF

When disaster hits a community
fire. flood. earthquake, explosion, bad
wreck or tornado-the American Red
Cross can be depended upon to follow
right at its heels with help for the
stricken people. Red Cross relief Is
almost Immediately forthcoming-food,
clothing, shelter and funds; doctors,
nurses and special workers with long
experience In handling similar trouble
elsewhere.
During the last year, ending June 80.
there was an average Of four disasters
month in the United States. One
twenty-seven Dtates suffered. The
largest and most destructive Of these
were the tidal wave at Corpus Christi,
Texas, and tornadoes in Mississippi,
Louisiana. Alabama, Georgia, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois.
In these events of horror $50 per.
sons were killed, 1900 were injured,
10000 were made homeless, about 3O.-
600 families needed help, the property
loss WAS nearly $10O.OOO.000 and oil.
most 100000 In relief funds. not in.
Guiding emergency supplies was ex.
pended.
To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year, the American Red
Cross sent $120.000 worth Of sup
plies, 10 Red Cross nurses and seven
special relief trains. To meet the
needs Of the stricken, the organization
set up ten relief stations, operated
thirty food canteens and as many
emergency hospitals. One hundred
and twenty-five Red Cross chapters
gave disaster relief service.
II disaster ever strikes this town or
county, the citizens can be absolutely
sure the Red Cross will be right on
hand to help them In every way.

NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work
FIouris''ing In Small Towns
throughout Country.

More than $1,000 graduate nurses
have been enrolled in the American
Red Cross to date and its department
Of nursing Is daily increasing this en-
rollment.
The department Of nursing has beer
authorized to maintain an adequate
reserve OF nurses for the army and
navy. 1t Will continue to supply the
needs Of the United States Public
Health Service to which It has u.s.
signed more than 1000 nurses in the
last year.
1t will assist in establishing proper
nursing service In foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has or.
ganized hospitals. dispensaries and
schools for nurses. Courses in home
hygiene and care Of the sick have been
started for thousands OF women who
nave never received any education In
this direction. Rural nursing which
was in its infancy O short while ago
has been put ahead at least q decade
through the work Of the department
of nursing and local Red Cross
chapters.
Public health nursing has been ex-
tended to many rural communities and
now fiourishes actively in hundreds Of
small towns and counties. Nearly q
thousand efficient nurses have already
been assigned to this kind Of work.
The department Of nursing is unit
Ing with other organizations in years
campaign In recruiting nurses for
training schools, in educating the gen.
eral public as to standards Of nursing
education and In showing communities
their responsibility toward schools Of
nursing. 1t will endeavor to meet nil
Rthese needs as well as to continue the
enrolment OF dietitians who will he
utilized as instructors in home dietet-
les, In developing nutrltional clinics
and in supplying dietitians for the
United States Public Health Service
and the civilian hospitals.
The Ndrsing Service will continue to
offer to women and young girls the
opportunity Of securing instruction in
home hygiene and care Of the sick In
every community in the country. This
instruction has not only laid the foun.
dalton for public health but in some
places has given impetus to the estab.
lishment OF hospitals and community
school houses.
"As community profits by the work
OF the nurse" says Miss Clara D.
Noyes, director Of the department of
nursing, ut is logical that the com.
mupty should be aroused to its respon.
sibility The American Red Cross
stands ready to help In general cam.
paign Of recruiting and must have the
support, sympathy and understanding
OF the medical profession as we'll as
the intelligent cooperation of the
people at large"

AWARDS TO MEN OF THE NAVY.
Nearly Two Thousand Medals and
Citations Arc Awarded.

Washington. NoY | The sec
ond anniversary Of the signing OF
the armistite vas celebrated in the
navy "nU n,grjDo corps to-day by thc
distribution Of nearly 1000 medals
and letters awarded had been for
warded to commanding afticers in all
parts Of the world and upon signal
by radio and telegraph to-day from
Secretary Daniels Office here the
hon" were distributed with appro-
pirate ceremonies.
The action marked the final phase
Of the controversy over naval deco
rations that resulted in Congress
sional investigation last winter after
Rear Admiral w. S. Sims had re-
fused to accept the distinguished
service medal intended for him, on
the ground that injustice had mark
ed the manner Of distributing the
nayy's recognition of distinguished
tigation Secretary Daniels was ac-
cused OF making awards to officers
who commanded ships sunk by the
enemy and ignoring other officers
who performed distinguished service
in responsible positions on shore.
Publication of the list Of awards
as finally approved by the Secretary
shows the original list to be un-
changed so far as deletions are con-
cerned. Real Admiral Sims name
again appeared on the list as having
been awarded distinguished SER
vice medal, but it was said at the
Navy Department that the medal had
not been actually forwarded to Ad-
miral Sims as was done in almost
every other case, due to that officers
previous refusal to accept the honor.
The medal, along with the navy
crosses awarded Rear Admiral Ben
ton G. Decker and Capt. Raymond
RaSbrouck, who took action similar
to that Of Admiral Sims. had been
deposited in the Bureau Of Naviga-
ton for such future action regard
ing acceptance Of the medals as the
officers concerned might wish to
take, 1T was explained at the de-
partment.
The list of awards as finally ap-
proved showed considerable in
crease over the list published before
the Congressional investigation. 1t
was explained that after the matter
had been referred back to the board
headed by Rear Admiral Austin NJ.
Knight for consideration, many mer-
itorious cases were discovered that
had not been included in the origi-
nal list. For this reason. it was said,
1851 medals and 662 letters Of COM
mendation were awarded to-day in
stead OF 1,2G1 medals and 3G1 let
ters. as was originally recommended.
In addition to the names added
to the list a number Of awards as
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1920-11-17

nnally approved were increased IN
Importance over the honor accorded
in the original list.
In his official announcement Of
the final action taken with regard to
the medals, My. Daniels said:
"Dr his review OF the boards sec
0nd part inrthr award Of these mod
ais, thG SGCresa ~ has adhered 10 the
list as published in Ills annual report
Of 1919, except that in certain cases
upon further consideration higher
award has been made than shown in
that list No eliminations or reduc-
However, certain clerical errors have
been corrected. There have been a
large number Of new awards made
as result of recommendations that
were afterwards made, and in fur
ther consideration Of all reports"
In addition to the medals and let
ters awarded the officers and men Of
the navy, the marine corps, special
certificates Of appreciation were sent
by the Navy Department to-day to
261 officers who served in the naval
overseas transportation service dur
ing the war. The certificates declared
that the services of recipients assist
ed "in making possible the worthy
achievements Of the United States
Navy"
Eleven Congressional medals OF
honor were awarded, seven to off,
GERS and four to enlisted men. This
was six more than contained in the
original report Of the board, and five
more than the Secretary originally
approved. The boards final report
recon ended ten such medals, but
Mr.. Daniels changed the award of a
naval cross to Lieut.. Commander AL
exander G. Lyle to a medal Of honor.
The officers to whom medals Of
honor were awarded were Lieut.
Commanders James j. Madison, re-
serve force, and Alexander G. Lyle,
medical corps; Ensigns Daniel A. J.
V. NJ. Isaacs and Orlando II. Petty,
medical corps; Ensigns Daniel A. ].
Sullivan and Charles II. Hammann,
both Of the reserve force, and Lieut..
Ralph Talbot, mddical corps, de-
ceased.
Enlisted men to whom the medal
Of honor was awarded were Pharma-
cist's Mate John Henry Balch;, Hos
pital Attendant David Ephraim Ha-
den; Gunner's Mate Osmond Kelly
Ingram, deceased; and Gunnery Ser
geant Robert G.. Robinson.

over and struggled for time until
he died. thus accounting for the re-
voiver being under him.
