_—_..—
The American Red Cross has field
equipment for an army of 100,000 men.
and is trying to bring its equipment
up to a basis fit for 250,000. Just
now it lacks field equipment as owing
to the shortage of storage rooms. sup-
plies have not been accumulated.
Base hospitals require staffs of 225
doctors. nurses and orderlies each.
Hospitals all over the country have
enrolled part of their staffs with the
Red Cross. Once units are sent out
for a special service they pass under
naval or military command as the
case iriay be. Only Within the last
year has the Red (‘ross begun organ-l
izatioii for war purposes. but the work
iras progressed satisfactorily. !
The plan is to supplement the exisH
ing nurses corps of the army until
this corps can be increased to a point’
equal to the present emergency.
The Norwalk (‘hapter of The Ameri»
can Red t‘ross‘ is now organized, and
has started on its work covering the
entire scope of Red Cross work. At
the Armory every Wednesday morn-
ing ii corps of women are at work
making hospital supplies, as soon as
the required contents of a box are
finished. it is packed and shipped,
About 82.3.00 worth of materials are
made into bandage, sponges. etc.. at
each meeting. A large sum of money
is needed to carry on this work of

Another of the Connecticut
greasineri received a telegram from
a distressed father who asked that
the War Department be appealed to to
excuse his two sons from service in
order that they might finish their
studies at college.
in both cases the War Department
politely but hrmly replied that the.
father. sons, employer ‘and employ-
ees should have realized what en~
listment meant and that now the
guardsmen must report, and report
immediately. or stand the conse-
quences.
Secretary of W’ar Baker was asked
if the department would permit men
needed at home to remain away from
camp and send “rookies" in their
place. He stated emphatically that
the department had no such inten-
tion.
Need Trained Men.
“We need trained men." he said.
“The militia was organized to secure
trained men; large sums of money
were spent to train the men who
enlisted and now that we need trained
men we certahly will not take raw
recruits in their places. We regret
that the calling out of the militia will
prove a hardshp on some of the men
but we cannot make a single excep-
tion in the case of men on the rolls."
