BROWN DOING BIG WORK FOR RED CROSS Former Citizen of Bartow County Writes Letters to Wife, Telling Some of the Experiences He Has En countered. Air. Joseph Emerson Brown, a broth er of Hon. John W. L. Brown, one of the leading- citizens of Bartow county and himself a of this section of Georgia, is now a Major in the Red Cross service n England, accord ing to letters raeehing this county from him. Although he left Bartow county many years ago, having married si prominent and wealthy resident a Michigan, and lias since made his home in Kalamazozo, he is remembered by quite a number of local people. His success in the Red Cross work is not unexpected by those who know of his wonderful executive ability. We are permitted to publish the fol lowing excerpts from a series of thor oughly interesting letters written by Major Brown to his wife: 1 came over Monday night from Harve, reaching London Tuesday noon. Have been waiting for Major Rockwell (head of my unit) to return from Liv erpool to get my assignment. 1 have in the meantime been made a captain, and have three gold and three blue stripes on my sleeve, a Sam Brown belt and all “duded up." The stripes look as if they might mean three years service or three times wounded or most anything. Anyway, I hate wearing uni tor, but there is no way out of it; even the Red Cross Commissioner wears one. The first night here I was too tired to go anywhere and last night went to the National Sporting club and saw some fine fights. The' theatres are all going an(j when they are all turned out in the dark, I do well to find my way home. London has not been raid ed in some time, but they are constant ly expecting the butchers. A hospital ship came over with us from Harve. Two or three weeks, a hospital ship with Red Cross lighted up all over, was sunk by a sub. Since then, they turn out all lights and beat it. I slept in my lothes again and spent a poor night. Attacked by Sub 1' had been so long since it had oc cared that T may he allowed to tell ; u we v “re attacked by a sub and v. • l'e bo gave us some excitement, we gave him h , I hope. Eleven deep bombs were dropped on top of him. They rocked our ship- and must have done him. They are much more strict regarding food here than in France. 1 J carry my food card with me and the men who. require sugar carry it around with them and reach in their jeans aim get a lump when they need it._ Very few things are as expensive here as at home. Cigars are very dear. The bars are open, I hear, from noon until 2 and from 6:30 to 9:30. 1 have not been in one since I arrived. Major Endicott is the commissioner for England and Major Rockwell is the head of the Rockwell unit. I think I will, without doubt, work under him. I'ntil he returns I do not know wheth- I will remain in London or be sent some where else in England. There seems chance of getting on to France now, as they are much more in need of help here. There are thousands of soldiers here, of all kinds and nationalities, not many wounded. I saw two splendid aristocratic young officers walking down Picadilly, each with a leg off and wearing a chrutch. There were jolly ing each other and seemingly getting Ho much out of life as possible. • * * Major Rockwell is discussing sending me back to America on an important mission for the Red Cross. We are not getting the supplies we need. And it is of vital importance that we have them. We cannot afford to fall down in the work and unless we get supplies at once we will lower prestige and rep utation of the Red Cross. It is not surgical dressings that we need. We cannot get enough worm knitted garmets and I wish you would urge the Red Cross and the Navy League to send all that is possible. You know the penetrating cold in England and France in peace times. Now, London is in darkness to save coal more than on account of the air raids. The coming winter is going to be very trying and we are certain to have an epidemic of pneumonia unless every precaution is taken. Need Canteen Workers Tell Airs. Johnson that Major Rock weel wants every woman he can get that is experienced in canteen work. It’s hard work and they should be phl sically strong. They should be sup plied with all the warm clothes possi ble/ There is no difference between working in England or France as we are nearer the front than most Red Cross workers would be in France. 1 hope that half a dozen workers can j be recruited from the Kalamazoo chap j l%r. There is a. large hospital at Dart j loid and our entertainment committee i took a number of the- Purple Domino i company and other actors and aetor -1 ines and invited me to go along. The | hospital contains about 500 wounded i and those that were well enough were | given a dandy entertainment. We had tea later and came home by motors later. The theatrical people here are very generous in giving their services to the Red Cross. The man at the head of our entertainment committee is an actor in the Gaiety. I came down here Sunday, Plymouth, on an emergency case (a torpedoed i troop ship)—and have been here since, j now Tuesday. Things turned out bet ! ter than we hoped for and all the men ] were sent on to Winchester, except 1 six, who were ill from natural causes ! and they are here in the hospital. It | came near being very serious and that is all I can say. j I have been doing emergency work most of the time Have been to South ampton and Dartford twice. Would like to continue emergency work, as it is much more interesting in its variety and I travel over England quite a lot. ■ Our Government is building a hos , pital here and I am going out tomorrow with the American counsul to inspect the work. The Red Cross will be ready to open it up when it is finished. The nights are gloomy with prac tically no light. I dread to think of the coming winter with no fires; other wise things seem to go on about as ■ usual. No one wears black here as they „do in France. No use to air your grief, i The American boys do not seem to get ' along very well with the English. I am sorry, and the Red Cross must combat it in every way. There is little news of what the Americans are do ing in France. It is always the British ‘advance.’ But we must forget it. A recent New York dispatch dated October 21, tells of the visit of King George and Queen Mary to the Amer ican hospital at Dartford, where Mr. Brown is stationed, during which time they moved from ward to ward • hatting with the wounded soldiers. “1 had a very satisfactory experi ence at Plymouth and think my work down there was approved of. Among the boys there, three were from Geor gia and when I told them my name was Joe Brown and that I was from Georgia, they felt as if they had gotten home again. 1 said to one of them fcith the mumps, ’your ah — of a fine Geor gia soldier, coming over here three thousand miies from home, pretend WHEN NEURALGIA ATTACKS NERVES Sloan's Liniment scatters the congestion and relieves pain A little, applied without rubbing, will penetrate immediately and rest and soothe the nerves.

Druggists everywhere. Sloan's Liniment ijjtKills Pain ing to lick the Germans, lying in bed enjoying the mumps. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.’ Cheerig the Wounded "1 jollied them all up, went back next day, with jam, buns, cigarettes, fruits, postcards and the morning papers. I left them in fine spriits and have written their mothers since I % came home. I also made a report at our base hospital there and made some suggestions, which they are going to carry out. They still want me to go to Hartford and I may if there is not enough work here to keep me busy. I have seen two more plays The Di vine Law,’ which is very bright and quite good and 'The Maid of the Mountains,’ the 638th performance. Some pretty good songs in it. Mary Anderson and Sot hern were out at Dartford last week when I was there. They were doing a moving picture and gave a performance at night fqr the men. Her son is in our office. He is a lieutenant and a very nice chap.” From Dartford he wrote: "The 28th has come and gone and 1 am a year older, but the work I am do ing and the good 1 am accomplishing makes me l'eel younger. It chanced to be a lovely (lay, which is rare here. And a dance last night helped also. We had some people from the town up and the English officers from the aviation camp nearby. "Today Secretary Baker was here, and I ordered the moving picture ma chine out from London, in America you will see a picture of him passing cigarettes out to the wounded men and 'of me passing them to him. He’s in the M ovies "I was in a movie with Alary Ander son and 1 am going to be photographed wi.li the Ring of England soon. Secre tary Baker says we have the finest American hospital he has seen. Our usual Sunday concert was pulled off and the secretary spoke to the boys between the acts. 1 set on the stage for the whole affair and it went off without a hitch. “An entertainment is oeing provided for twenty-five of the men in London tomorrow night and the commanding officer has asked me to take charge of it and take the min. They are convales cents who will soon be going La-.k to France. I am also running a ’hopital exchange,’ selling cheese, sardines, cigarettes, chocolates, canned goods, tobacco, shoe laces and in fact every thing handled in a country store. All goods are sold at cost. Should any profit arise from the transaction it would be turned over to the C. O. to purchase delicacies for the patients. All He Has To Do Is Work "Outside of this and about a thous and other things, I have nothing at all to do. In fact 1 do nothing some days bur work ten hours out of the 24. It is a great life and I love it. “I forgot to tell you that Elsie Jan is is coming out to us Sunday week and I am going to get a movie with her. We keep all thes people to tea afterwards and have some sunshine with our work. “I was sent out here to try and straighten thing out and get some sort of a system into our work here. It is a big job, as this is the largest hospital in England. At present we have 1,400 patients and will have 3,- 300 when all the wards are in running order. The Red Cross furnishes supplies I never dreamed of ana many things the army should furnish but does not. We are glad to do it as long as we have the funds, but for much of the sup plies we furnish, we are never given credit for by the men as they never know they coaie from the Red Cross."
