Miss Mary E. Griapwin ArousED 
ENTHUSIASM OF AUDIENCE 
WEDNESDAY EVENING. 
There was a show of real enthusi- 
asm at the meeting in Town hall, 
Manchester, on Wednesday evening 
when Miss Mary E. Gladwin, a Red 
Cross nurse who served in Serbia 
during the first year of the war, re- 
lated her stirring experiences in Bel- 
grade. Her appeal for support of the 
splendid American Red Cross organ- , 
ization Was met with a generous re- 
sponse and 67 new members w ere en- 
rolled in just three minutes at the 
conclusion of her talk. 
F. J. Merrill of the Manchester 
campaign committee presided at the 
meeting.. Miss Louisa P. Loring, 
secretary of the Essex County chap- 
ter of the American Red Cross, out- 
lined the work of the organization 
and told of the need of an increased 
membership. Among those on the 
platform was William Hooper of 
West Manchester, who has the gold 
medal of the American Red ‘Cross for 
extraordinary services in the Messina 
disaster. 
Luke Doyle, who did splendid ser- 
vice with the American Ambulance in 
France, spoke briefly of the work of 
the Red Cross and told an incident of 
the Vosges campaign when German 
wounded were brought into the 
French hospitals for treatment. He 
declared that the errand of the Red 
Cross was merey and that it was 
strictly neutral in its sentiment. 
Miss Gladwin told of the taking of 
Belgrade by the Austrians, its recap- 
ture by the Serbs and subsequent cap- 
ture by the German forces. During 
all the fighting the little American

contingent of three doctors and 12 
nurses remained, some of the time 
between the firing lines, and rendered 
service to Serb and Teuton alike. The 
territory was protected from the gun 
fire of the Austrians, who in respect 
for the Red Cross flag directed their / ~ 
shell fire over the hospital zone. 
During the Austrian retreat Miss 
Gladwin said the wounded came in by 
the hundreds, then by the thousands, 
until in one awful day 9,000 men 
were brought into the hospital to be 
cared for by the litthé Red Cross 
force. Men died on the operating 
table, in their beds and on the floors 
so fast that the nurses were compelled 
to walk over the dead bodies to at- 
tend the wounded. 
She told of the awful typhus epi- 
demic and of the breaking under the 
strain of Dr. Ryan, the heroic Ameri- 
can doctor, who commanded the 
party. Her audience was stirred to. 
enthusiasm when she predicted a re- 
habilitated Serbia. 
David Black, secretary of the Bev- 
erly Y. M. C. A., made the final ap- 
peal, during which 67 new members 
enrolled, four of them for life mem- 
berships. 
Manchester has already ‘reached its 
required quota of 150 new members 
and will strive to get many more 
names. A silver cup is offered to the 
place increasing its membership most 
in proportion to its population.
