mi ii me American government is to lean when its soldiers and sailors are sick and wouaded. It is the branch of war work in which every man, woman and child of the nation msy have its share, and through which those who may not fight may do their bit as loyally as the soldier at the front. Ready To Meet All Kxigendes. It Is to the everlasting credit of the small band of men and women

sick and wounded military men at every point. Possibly the most remarkable achievement of the Red Cross within the past two years has been the organization and equipment of 25 mobile base - hospitals for the Army and Xavy, which will follow the movements of the service and take up their stations where they are required. They are ready and can beNput Into operation on a f?w days' notice equipment, medical and nuraing staff enrolled fori work. This la the beginning of a i chain of base hospitals which will : eventually spread throughout the i country from coast to eoast. In re- j spect to preparedness the American j Red Cross today stands repdy to care

for tho sick and wounded of an army of 1,000,000 men, and to bring instant relief to the dependent families of vol unteers. Despite the fact that it has distributed millions in money and supplies and sent splendid units of medical skill and trained nursing to the aid of warrln? Europe, it has built up a magnificent enrollment of physicians and surgeons, with a list of 8,000 trained nurses, carrying on their private work in times of peace but pledged to give it up at the call of the nation for war work. The Red Cro?s Is the grent official organization through which volunteer relief service is rendered to the. Army and Xvy in time of war. It is the only organization so designated by Congress and acting under a charter by the Government. The very act of its Incorporation prescribed that its central committee shall have upon It representatives of the Army and Navy, and the Presulrrt of the f nlted States Is its official head. MatwjsrJtiMit And How Sustained. The American Red Cross is sustained solely by the voluntary contributions of the American people. It can make no official call upon them, however relying solely upon their

humanitarian instincts and the sentlI menf. of Interest of man for his fellow-

man. The national officers of the American Red Cross are a president, vice-

! president, treasurer, counselor, and

secretary. The President of the United States Is always president of the Red Cross. The Central Committee, of which ex-presldent Taft is chairman, consists of eighteen members and includes the Secretary of State

and Surgeons-General of the Army and Navy. This committee delegates j its responsibilities to Mr. Eliot Wadsj worth, who is acting chairman, and whose office is at the National headj quarters. j Under this Central Committee are two divisions, that of Military and jthat of Civilian Relief. The Director

General of Military- Relief is Colonel Jefferson R. Kean, U. S. A., who Is largely rsponslble for the magnificent medical organization knovp as the Medical Corps. U. S. A. The Director General of Civilian Relief la Mr. Ernest P. Blcknell, who is known internationally through his work in co-operation with the Rockefeller Fund in relief work in warring Europe. Ths Department of Military Relief Is

! comparatively new, having: been the j direct re6ult of the "Preparedness"

movement. Tho object of Its creation was to furnish the machinery by

which the American Red Cross would ! carry out the purpose of Its charter

volunteer aid to the sick and wounded of armies in war and as a medium of communication between the people of the UniteO States and their Army and Navy. The organizations created by the Red Cross to assist the medical service of the Army and Navy in time of war are usually spoken of as military units. Of these the most important Is the base hospital because, being lo

cated at the military base behind the service at the front. It is the first real hospital encountered by the wounded soldier In his Journey from the firing line toward home. There for the first time he finds a good bed and a trained nurse. The Medical Bureau of the Military division of Red Cross work, which is under the supervision of Major Robert V. Patterson, U. S. A., has general

charge of the male personnel of

organizations. Red Cross bae hos

pital units are organized for service with the Army and Navy, and when reported by tYf national headquarters of the Red Cross as ready for service, they are placed cn a roll In the Surgeon General's office of the branch of service for which enrolled.
