Corporal Coyle ost and auxiliary, American Legion took part in the general service and also conducted a special service for Miss Liebreich,
 MT. Grady, who served in the same company, with Joyce Kilmer during the war, quoted briefly from the poets master piece, Trees. He also said in part:
 "If there were any charity, any Christianity in war, it was to be found only under your banner, un- der the banner of the Red Cross,' declared the speaker.
 Tn the awful holocaust of war, when the red scythe and destruction was devastating fair lands and shat tering ideals, when mems thoughts were frothing and boiling with the horror of it all, how eagerly these women offered themselves for the sacrifice. No need to draft the nursing strength of the nation, no need for their country even to request their service.
 "The nurse who in civil life had found herself following quiet, ha!- cyon ways, now found herself almost overnight a necessary aftermath in the orgy of wars destruction. No panoply of war was yours, no gun no sabre was given to you-only the majestry of a red cross pinned to yuor breast. No time for regrets, no time for cringing fear-suffering humanity called and eagerly you sprang to humanity's side"
 The trees were accepted by Major Thomas J. Bannagan, manager of the hospital, following dedication pray CT offered by Rev. Patrick Dolan, U s. army chaplain of Suffield. Rev George Clark, Catholic chaplain ol the hospital then pronounced bene- diction.
 The special service for Miss Lie breich was in charge of Mrs. Rober' Birt, president of the local auXlll- ary.
 About 15 members of the auxiliary attended, and were accompanied pS the auxiliary sextet, who sang "AVt Varllm"
