REST STATIONS
NEW YORK, June 15.—Glimpses in
to the railroad rest-stations for Amer
ican troops in France established by
the American Red Cross and a reflec
tion of some of the happiness of the
soldiers served in those stations are
given in letters received here from
the Red Cross agents in France.
“Gee, this looks almost like home,”
is the common expression of tne irav
el-wearied soldiers as they, settle down
and relax in some pretty rest station
where they have obtained a hot show
er-bath; and a good meal after hours
of journeying in crowded trams. The
places seem more like home to the
soldiers because they are waited upon
by American girls. Here they often
pause to write a letter home to mother
or sweetheart as well as to enjoy
milk, butter, jams, puddings, desserts
and pastry “just like mother used to
make."
One of the most interesting letters
comes to the Red Cross from Mrs.
Belmont Tiffany, a New York social
leader who has been engaged in the
organization of these railway rest
stations, which is distinct from the
Red Cross work for civilian relief in
France.
“I started in a rest-room at B-,
which consists of an infirmary of ten
beds, a canteen recreation room, res
taurant and splendid hot shower baths
and fumigating plant,” wrote Mrs.
Tiffany. “The men here were of the
signal corps, the Bell telephone men,
laying American telephone wires in
France. They were a splendid lot and,
though they have dug post-holes un
til their backs were lame, they always
come to play the piano and sing and
write their letters in the evenings.
“Because they believe rightly that a
rest-station must be home-IIke, cheer
rui ana resttui, tile construction de
partment built charming brick build
ings with well plastered walls and
ceilings and I was allowed to decorate
and furnish them as I thought best.
“If the women at home, and the
men, too, could see how their boys ap
preciate it all—how they love the
cleanliness and the color and the
gaiety, how glad they are for every
‘pnetty* thing you do for them; if you
could see their poor, tired faces relax
when they settle down—you would
realize what this side of it means.
War is such an ugly thing, such a
dirty, sordid thing; at best there are
so many hateful, unaccustomed thing,s
our men here have to do that at least
we can give them warmth and clean
liness and color wherever we can.
"Picture to yourself fifty dirty, tired
men falling out of a cattle train where
they have been cooped up two or three
days with a detachment of mules, eat
ing and sleeping with them They
have a couple of hours to wait, so
they take a hot shower, with plenty
of soap and towels given to them,
and .then have a good meal, waited
upon by such cheerful, kindly Ameri
can girls, play the piano a bit, write
a letter home and go. Those people
who have given us the money to do
this with would be so very glad, so
very grateful, i£ they could only see!
“About the letter-writing, by the
way. The lieutenant of the signal corps
came to me ana said: ‘Mrs. Tiffany,
1 have a grudge against you. l have
to censor all our mail and the men’s
letters home have more than trebled
since you opened the recreation room ’
i believe if I da nothing else in Franco
I shall he glad of that; you see, I
know what it means when I see my
hoy writing.
The whole rest station when fur
nished is extremely efficient and most
attractive. The infirmary is so fresh
and clean, with its white enamel paint
and muslin curtains; the other rooms
are as gay and bright and full of color
as paint and curtains and plants and
flowers can make tnem. There are
such good bods and mattresses in the
dormitory, such warm fires on cold
days, such quantities of electric lights
and tables for writing, with unlimited
stationary, games, playing cards and
newspapers and magazines of all
kinds.
"In the canteen proper the girls in
their blue and white uniforms look so
nice and the food is so good. You
can't think what it means to them.
When they have money they pay a
nominal price, simply to keep them
out of mischief—4 cents for a huge
cup of coffee or cocoa, and correspond
ing prices for everything else.
“I have arranged for an unlimited
supply of the best fresh milk, butter,
jam, syrups and puddings and des
serts, and I must say they are more
than popular. One big, fair boy at
B- drank four cups of milk one
after the other, and I may tell you that
three of our cups make a quart; and
when he was finished he said, ‘I wish
mama could have seen me do that,’ and
I wished she could, too.
“The shower baths are as popular
as the canteen or the recreation room,
and there are always men in the dor
mitory and ill boys in the infirmary.
Up to now it has seen a boy coming
down with mumps, or pneumonia, or
grippe, but never any wounded are
coming back.’’
