Edward Field of the Second Ar- tor of the De- believes firmly In | strict army rations can apprec the usefulness of the Red Cross League and Sanitary Commission. “I was at Harrison Landing on the James River during the war,” he sald, “and it was perhaps the most unhealthy location in which our command W camped during the whole Civil War struggle. It was during the hottest time of the year and the food served out to us was not of the kind men live to eat. It was then that I learned what the Sani- tary Commission could do. That society sent us boatloads of such things men The Daughters of the) American Revolu= tion Praise the Red Cross League. crave who have too long been famillar with the rations of war.

The Sanitary Commission in those days sent fresh vegetables to the camps of the army whenever it could, and no soldier ever cheered more than when | | hear | work of women as nurses during the war. the great lumbering wagons rolled in through the lines of sentries, protected by the red cross and carrying the ordinary garden truck that tasted sweeter than all the fancy foods ever invented by the celebrated chefs of the worid. Besides the garden truck that was on those wagons there was always something for those in the hospitals. Jellies and jams and little toothsome delicacies from the kitchens at home were in those boxes for the k, and they were guarded most jealously. Many a time I have seen big, strong men stand and gape at a little jar of jam that was unloaded from one of e wagons, then follow It clear to the spital tent. 1 do-not deny that any one those men would have liked to have = of the jam just to know how it , but their interest in it was more than that. It was from home. Perhaps not their home, but from a home where there were loving hand& and anxious s for some one at the front. ‘At that camp much good was ac- complished by one man. He was ‘Clem Barclay,’ and he was idolized by every man of the rank and file. He was from Philadelphia, and he gave a fortune in his deeds of humanity and in_ his en- deavors to mitigate the unavoidable suf- ferings of war. “‘I was greatly impressed with the work of the Roman Catholic_Sisters of Charity in the E-street Army Hospital in Wash- ington. It was there that 1 saw the They worked under splendid _discipline, and they did much for me while I was there. From what I saw there I know women as nurses in the hospitals and at the front can do much toward making a soldier’s life an easier one to bear durin, the times of war. I do not believe muc] could be done by untrained volunteers or the spasmodic efforts of morbid senti- mentality. But if nurses are sent to the front under the direction of the Red Cross League and organized for practical work under the direction of the medical de- partment of the army, it cannot but meet with appreciation and be a_means of pre- venting much suffering and be the means of saving the lives of many of those who go to defend thelr flag and the honor of their country. “To Jessen the sufferings of the sick and wounded in time of war s d noble work, and when such work Is systematized in accordance with needs and in harmony With military authority it cannot fail to prove one of the wisest forms of patriot- ism.” SPOKE OF ITS NOBLE MISSION Daughters of the American Revolution Commend the Work of Mercy. A meeting of Sequola Chapter of the Daughters of thé American Revolution was held yesterday afternoon at the | Sorosis Club for the purpose of organiz- ing a branch of the Red Cross League, Many donations were received and gen- eral enthusiasm and patriotism prevailed during the entire meeting. Rabbi Voorsanger, who was a guest of the chapter, in outlining the duties the members of the league would be-called upon to perform. said: “It is very difficult to say what might be required of the members of the Red Cross League in the future. The present we know. The future 1s veiled in dark- ness which can only be penetrated by the passing of time. 1f the worst comes and the dread carnage of war proves inevi- | table, let us hope to meet its horrors with | a co-operation of effort and tend to lessen | the sufferings of our California boys by | providing for them some comfort when in need, and nursing them wnen sick or in- jured. In the institution of this Sanitary Commission, which shall have for its purpose the preventiom of the spread of disease and the caring of the soldiers who have gone from here to fight for the dig- | nity and honor of their country, we must | have as one of its prevailing features tender and loving sentiment. We cannot stop the bullet, but let us hope that our efforts may prove successful In saving the life where that bullet has not already carried death on its cruel mission of hate. “The greatest danger we will have to contend with in the present war is not Spanish bullets. Yellow fever Is the danger. We can defend ourselves one man against another; ship against ship; but we cannot frustrate poison. Cuba i$ the hotbed of yellow fever, and there is a serfous doubt whether the army will be able to fight it. “The horrors of the Austrian war in 1866 from the ravages of cholera—its most fatal consequence—need hardly be recall- ed to put.you in mind of the necessity of vour organization in the present crisis, as ‘they are familiar to the mind of the student and those living who survived the awful plague. “We should not defer another day in i Jere Higrcisee e g (wiiveD) — CLEARING HOUSE N°/% A GOOD EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW. preparing ourselves against such fatal consequences. Now is the time, and we should grasp at the opportunity, meeting the ravages of vellow fever with a de: fense that must prove impregnabie to ad- vance. I think the step taken by you to-day in this direction is one of ‘the noblest acts of a woman and a mother. ““We have two distinct duties to per- form during the war. The duty to our country, which always comes first, and then our duty toward our boys—our Cali- fornia boys. “The impression that has gone forth about my son expressing a wish to enter the army is true, and I feel proud of him. The badge with the letters “U. S. been placed over his heart, and he is now ready for the front, as he received his enlistment papers last evening. That he will leave for the seat of war is hard- ly probable, as I think that before the Government demands him as its servant Spain shal] have returned a cripple and a -Sgrace to itself. hat my son will leave does not say that I will necessarily abandon him to his fate. 1 wgnt to be with him when he needs my care. I want to nurse him when sick, and I want to lessen the rigors and trials of camp life. You are mothers and you know that if they must go they shall go; and if they go we must go with them even if we stay here. We can only hope to accomplish this through the min- istry of the Red Cross in the camp and on the battlefield. With it must go our love, our devotion and maternal care. “The surgical service of the National Guard of California needs extension, as it is thoroughly inadequate. This deficiency is attributed to lack of funds, and if we want the necessary equipment we have to demand it of the Governor, who will deny it on the basis that the money is needed more in other directions. “In the time of war we do not want to wait, and in fact we cannot justly wait for legislation, in order to carry on the sanitary work that we know is absolutely necessary for our sof We want to pre- pare it ourselves. hey will need am- bulances, surgical instruments, under- wear, medicines and various other a ticles; and this entire humane work de- pends upon you and upon your efforts. ““You must of necessity uphold the tra- ditions created by your ancestors and the flag instituted by your fathers. You must see that the St and Stripes do not take can Colonist free should free the Cuban from his oppressive bondage. No matter what mongrel he might be he has a right to d should be free. When the sacred banner, the emblem of liberty and freedom—the stars and stripes—is uplifted we must remember that personal feeling must cease. “We must identify ourselves as mem- bers of this organization with the Red Cross banners on the field, and when our boys leave us we must Tollow tliem on their way and tend to our children across the Gulf of Mexico and on the unhealthy soil of Cuba with the same tenderness, the same care that we would extend to them were we there by their side.” Dr. Voorsanger’'s address was followed | by another upon the same subject by the Rev. C. E. Cooke of Trinity Episcopal Church. He said: “There is absolute need of such an or- ganization and the work which it alone can do. The one great danger that will have to be contended with is disease—the | vellow fever. In view of this fact we want our boys to feel that when they go | out and away from us that they will be | followed by and communicated with through the medium of the cro: “I hope that by the grace of God war and ity attendant horrors will soon be at an end and that the California boys will never, reach the poisonous and mephitic atmosphere of Cuba.” Miss Eliza Keith, who was also called to address the society, limited her discus- sion of the purpose of the Red Cross League to a few clauses, devoting the WOMEY'S CLUB Largely Attended Meeting at Which the Charter Roll | Was Closed. | Addresses by John P.
