Just outside the French town of Compiegne stands the Chateau of An:| pel,an ancient structure dating back hundreds of years. Its walls and vault- ‘ed rooms could tell many a tale of} médiaeval . adventure—perchance of | sviolence—of romance and sorrow. Today it can tell the story of two surgeons—American Red Cross doc- tors—who for a day and a night and 6 second day sa¥ed hundreds of lives— operating by candle light upon wound- 64 French soldiers, the while shells crashed and the ping of machine gun. ‘bullets resounded—the while the ene- my was advancing steadily until he got ‘within five mile8 of the little hospital. The chateau hed been used as an ‘advance hospital under direction of ithe French Service de Sante. Major ‘Tarnowsky and Major Morehead, two Red Cross doctors, were in charge, the personnel being French. When ‘the enemy came within six kilometers the French authorities ordered the evacuation of the place, the patients being removed at night in canal boats. The two Red Cross doctors were at their wits’ ends. Their labors were circumserjbed by human limitations. ‘There were just four hands and no as- ‘sistance of any kind. But somehow fate usually intervenes when the need ‘is: direct, So in the nick of time two jAmevican canteen women came over ‘from Compiegne. Still, supplies were lacking, and q@@gain fate proved kind. Five heavily laden Red Cross camions arrived with- | iin an hour after the women, each with itwo men, so that the personnel now (consisted of two doctors, two women land ten men.
