There must be columns for field, 
hospital, supplies, information, and 
prisoners. In caring for prisoners of 
war, the Red Cross has the advan- 
tage of neutrality, so that it has al- 
ready been appealed to, to settle ques- 
tions about the proper exchange of 
prisoners in Europe. 
As important as any feature in the 
system of the Red Cross work is that 
of the supplies and it is with this that 
women are peculiarly fitted to help. 
They may be divided into three 
classes: Perishable, temporary, and 
non-perishable. The perishable sup- 
plies include delicacies for the sick 
and wounded, and things of like na- 
ture, which may be left for later con- 
sideration. Temporary supplies are 
made up of ambulances, hospital 
trains, hospital ships, convalescent 
homes, and warehouses to be used 
for supply stations. The non-perish- 
able supplies are the socks, sheets, 
comfort bags, night-shirts, pajamas, 
et cetera, which the women of this 
country have been making for the 
foreign soldiers. Miss Boardman 
suggested that all garments be made 
of a standard size that the confusion 
of sorting laundry migh be avoided. 
She further suggested that such sup- 
plies would be quite welcome at the 
Washington headquarters of the Red 
Cross Society. 
With large maps, Miss Boardman 
gave a wonderfully graphic descrip- 
tion of the plan of action, of the dis- 
tribution of supplies and of the evac- 
uation of the wounded. The neces- 
sity of being properly organized was 
quite apparent. The map showed 
distributing stations at Boston, New 
York, Cleveland, Chicago, Jackson- 
ville, Minneapolis, Austin. From the 
collecting stations all over the coun- 
try, supplies are sent to these distri- 
buting stations, where the things are 
sorted and classified, ready to be sent 
out when the call comes for them. 
Thus, when jam and other delicacies 
are needed for the convalescents, or 
night garments for the wounded, 
word is sent to the nearest distributing 
station, and the articles are forward- 
eédJav_.once. 
The plan for the evacuation of the 
wounded was well pictured in a large 
sketch, which Miss Boardman, her- 
self, ‘had made, Just “behind the 
firing lines is the First Aid station, 
which is in charge of the military 
authorities, and not, except in times 
of {steat astress, under -RediCross 
supervision. At least five miles away 
is the field, or, as the English call it, 
the clearing hospital. The wounded 
men are brought here from the first 
aid station and are operated upon in 
cases of dire need, or sent in ambu- 
lances, or hospital trains to the base 
hospital, which is ten miles farther 
back.. Here are’ the physicians, sur- 
geons, nurses on night and day duty 
to care for the wounded. There is a 
supply house, the office or headquar- 
ters, and quarters for the nurses and 
doctors. From this hospital the con- 
valscent are sent into homes that may 
have been offered for recuperating 
stations, or to their own families. 
It is a stupendous undertaking, and 
the only way it can be carried out is 
by efficiency and system, Any other 
way must result in failure when the 
victims! must be the “very: *men to 
whom aid was to be given. The Red 
Cross is a great organization working 
{o counteract slaughter of men by 
men: and to bring nations to that 
higher plane of morality which indivi- 
duals have attained. It is bringing 
about the good will toward men, 
which will sometime result in peace 
on earth. 
Miss Boardman is executive secre- 
tary of the American Red Cross so- 
ciety and she came to Massachusetts 
Monday for two meetings, one at 
Boston, and the other at Manchester. 
The Boston meeting was at the 
Arlington st. church. Monday. night 
Miss Boardman was the guest of the 
Misses Loring at Pride’s Crossing. 
The meeting in Manchester Monday 
was in connection with the annual 
meeting of the Essex Co. Chapter. 
General Francis H. Appleton of Pea- 
body, presided. He was re-elected 
president, Miss Louisa P. Loring, 
secretary, and f.-H.; McC. Sturgis, 
treasurer. After the meeting Miss 
Boardman met many of her friends 
and with Miss Loring went to Boston 
for luncheon and later in the after- 
noon. returned to Washington. 
“A PAIR OF SILK STOCKINGS.” 
“A Pair of Silk Stockings” which 
Mr. Winthrop Ames presents at Y® 
Wilbur Theatre for the second week, 
beginning next Monday evening, 
October r1th, is one of those charm- 
ingly done and refreshingly light com- 
edies which Mr. Ames knows so well 
how to do. One always expects Mr. 
Ames to produce the comedy of man- 
ners rather than the tragedy of real- 
ity. And Mr. Ames never disap- 
points. 
“A Pair of Silk Stockings” is the 
work of Mr. Cyril Harcourt, the 
English playwright, novelist and ac- 
tor and it will be performed in Bos- 
ton by a notable company including 
Mr. Sam Sothern, the distinguished 
English comedian and brother of EF. 
H. Sothern.. The action of the play 
revolves in the home of English 
gentlefolk—that of Sir John Gower, 
and furnishes much material for 
atnusing scenes and smart, witty 
dialogue. 
There will be an extra matinee 
Columbus Day, October 12th.
