GIRL VISITS
I -
LONDON, Sept. 8. — The first girl
j who has been right up to the front of
the French army, is Kathleen Burke,
the same Knglish girl who on her tour
early this year, on behalf of the Scot
tish Women's Hospitals in the eastern
states and Canada, collected so much
money that on returning she was
hailed as the “thousand dollars a day
girl.”
A mere slip of a girl of the type that
might be afraid of the report of a
rifle. Miss Burke stood calmly by the
side of the officers at Verdun, and
while big shells were dropping about
watched the direction of a counter
attack that repulsed the enemy.
As a special mark of appreciation
of the splendid devotion of the body
of workers she represents and of her
own zeal in raising more than a mil- j
i lion francs in support of hospitals
treating wounded French soldiers, she
was entertained by three great gen
erals. Her hosts were Heneral Petain,
the original defender of Verdun; fien
.eral Nivelle, now in command of the
army of Verdun, and Heneral Dubois,
in command of Verdun itself. Miss
Burke was also received by Heneral
Joffre. At a dinner in the vaults of
the Citadel of Verdun toasts to the
success of the allies and to the visit
or's health were proposed to the ac
companiment of the boom of the big
guns.
Under the care of the commandant.
Jean do Uullignv, of the ministry of
munitions, and recently rhlef of the
French engineering commission to the
United States, in an automobile placed
at her disposition by the French gov
ernment, Miss Rtirke visited practi
cally the entire front, paying particu
lar attention io the work of the hos
pitals. she remained in France about
a month. “Ten days after my arrival
I assisted at the opening of a new
ward of 100 beds in the hospital of
the Scottish women at Royaumont,” |
she said. "The ward is called 'Can- j
ada,’ because it was paid for by the !
Canadian money. The money was
given to me by five Catiaikn cities
during my hurried visit—Ottawa, Mon
treal, Toronto, Hamilton and London,
Ontario. The Red Cross made me a
splendid gift of $10,000.
“Everywhere 1 was tremendously
impressed by the work of the hospi
tals, their remarkable systems where
by the wounded are so promptly given
the best attention, and 1 was glad ac
tually to witness the wonderful work j
of the American ambulance sections
I saw several and they were much
closer to the firing line than anyone
would imagine, the young men being
constantly in the greatest peril, but
seeming to forget in their zeal Ell j
about their personal safety."
Although she knew it in a vague
| way. Miss llurke says that she did j
I not realize the great danger she was !
j In at Verdun as she stood out near j
the top of the Citadel and watched the ;
battle. Men were falling within a few |
hundred sards of her. “It was a hit 1
thrilling," she said, “especially to see |
the big shells, ‘rough words" from ■
Krupps, as the officers referred to j
them, falling on various sides. I do j
not retain impressions ot auv ot mem
individually. Out one Inirst son.e 200
yards away from where we stood. It
was a big one. We did indeed feel
much safer when we were In the com
fortable and protected vaults under
the Citadel. I think it must have been
the perfect ease and lack of the
slightest trace of anxiety among the
officers that set me so much at my i
own ease during the terrific cannon- I
ado of the big guns."
For her efforts in behalf of the Ser
bians. Miss Burke has been made a !
knight of St. Sava in Serbia, the j
youngest on the roll. Her organize- j
lion had four hospitals in Serbia and
transferred their work after the Ger- j
man occupation to Saloniki and Cor- j
slca, where they have the medical care
of *1,000 Serbian refugees. Another j
unit is leaving shortly for Russia, and j
a unit which left last month for Sa- |
I loniki to join the Serbian army is
called the “American Unit,” as it was
paid for with funds subscribed in Am
I erica.
