^ ieroism of Two Red Cross Doc
tors and Two Women Canteen
v Workers During Bombardment.
Just outside the French town of
Oomplegne stands the Chateau of An
nul, an ancient structure dating hack
hundreds of years. Its walls and vault
ed rooms could tell many a tale of
mediaeval adventure -perchance of
vloUnco- -of romance and sorrow.
¥oday It can tell the story of two
surgaona—American lied Cross doc
tor*—Who for a day and a night and a
second day saved hundreds of lives—
operating by candle light upon wound
ed French soldiers, the while shells
crashed ana tne ping or machine gun
bullets resounded—the while the ene
my was advancing steadily until he got
within five miles of the little hospital.
The chateau had been used as an
advance hospital under direction of
tho French Service de Sante. Major
Tarnowsky and Major Morehead, two
Red Cross doctors, were In charge,
tho 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 bouts.
The two Red Cross doctors were at
their wits’ ends. Their labors were
circumscribed by human limitations.
There were' just four bauds and no as
sistance of any kind. Bui somehow
‘ fate usually intervenes when the need j
Is direct. So In the nick of time two |
| American canteen women came over |
from Complegne.
j Still, supplies were lacking, and i
| again fate proved kind. Five heavily I

CONDENSED MILK FOR
LITTLE SICILIANS'
The problem of caring for the babies
of Sicily was one which the Bed Cross
workers were almost ut a loss to solve 1
until the shipment of sweetened con
densed milk came lo tlielr rescue. A
can of condensed milk would lust a
baby a week, for one spoonful, put in a
cup of boiling water, was sufficient for
a feeding, and so, to many a Sicilian I
family the terms “America” and "con
densed milk" will always be synony
mous.
Last February • list of fifty families
of Italluu soldiers was given to the
Bed Cross workers in Italy. The fuui- ,
Hies were carefully investigated und
registered and the milk was given lo
them for the little children, especially
the babies. Mothers came for the cans
and were grateful beyond expression.
But with the coming of warm
weather It was necessary to give out
the milk dally, as it would not keep
sweet. The mothers brought their
own containers, and the milk was pre
pared, sugar added, and they were in
structed carefully as io Its use. Abso
lute cleanliness of receptacles was In
sisted upon, and the homes were vis
ited In order (o make sure that the
milk rations were being backed by
healthful conditions.
Aside from the saving of the lives of
the children, the soldiers are happier
and they are better soldiers now that
they know that their loved ones are
being cared for by the Crossa Bossa.
FOOD AT LOW COST
FOR BELGIAN FAMILIES
Through the combined efforts of the
American Ked Cross and the Belgian
Government, food is now supplied at
low cost to the families of those Bel
gian soldiers who are at the front or
have been killed or taken prisoner.
The Commissioner for Belgium of the
Red Cross recently advised the Bel
gian Government that the American
people were ready to undertake this
work and that the Red Cross would
provide 20,000 francs a month for it.
The Belgian Minister of Supplies
has a chain of sixty-five stores in
France and at the front, which sell
goods to the families of Belgian sol
diers working in munition plants or
other places In the rear

FAITH IN THE RED CROSS. I
—.—. •
A young American soldier recently'i
arrived in France tried to locate Ids
brother, who was also in the army
and who had preceded him “over
there." It was like hunting for a
needle In a haystack. After many dif
ficulties and long waiting, however, he
at lust located the company to -which
his brother belonged.
Then he learned that his brother
had been wounded and was in some
hospital. That was all he could And i
out. With the faith of a little child
in Ids eyes he told this to a hospital
searcher belonging to the American
Red Cross and then with the faith of
a little child he added: “Rut the Red
Cross will find ldm.” And the Red
Cross did.

It is perfectly possible to build roads
which will stand up under the heaviest

Road Builders Are Made.

are made and trained largely at public
