One Hundred Assistants.
The physicians in charge of the dif
ferent wards will be assisted by the
company of 100 men, who were trans
ferred to Ci.mp Hancock from Fort
Ethan Allen, Vermont, about two weeks
ago. Commissioned officers who have
reviewed this company esteem it one
of the best military organizations.
These men were selected from a group
of four hundred applicants and before
entering the service ach of thm wes
well established in some business or
profession. The unit was organized in
Hartford, Conn., by Major Otto G.
Wiedman, M. R. C., and was then sent
to Vermont last summer for equipment
md training. Two of these men, Dr.
Earle A. Bush and Dr. Stephen B.
Gibbs, were graduated from a surgical
college, and afterwards from a school
of osteopathy. They abandoned prac
tices which netted them large incomes
to enlist as privates in this company.
Earle Dudley Butler, another member
of the unit, is a very wealthy young
man, and a former star of the Amherst
football team. Myron Jackson, in the»
same company, w T as captain of the
Trinity College football team last year.
Phillip Warner, son of a Connecticut,
superior court judge, in the company’s
enrollment is also a former Trinity
athlete. Carl Struth, a nephew of
Chancellor Michaelis, the German of
ficial, is another prominent member.
Richard M. Hewitt, another member,
is a gradua a of Wesleyan University.
He received a degree at Princeton and
was an instructor in an eastern school
just before his enlistment. Jesse G.
Farren, an acting non-commiccioned
officer w'ith the company, was a promi
nent tobacco grower in Connecticut.
He is a man of considerable military
experience. Other members of the unit
are licensed druggists, medical stu
dents and dental students, and alto
gether the entire enrollment of men is
well qualified for the work which they
have undertaken.
Accommodate 1,000 Patients.
There will be accommodations for
1,000 patients and it is probable that
some of the troops from the front may
be sent here. All the staff officers are
men pf exceptoinally high standing in
their professions, many ar especialists.
It is an assured fact that the sick and
wounded will receive the most expert
care America can bestow'.

MOTHERS SHOULD '
SEND BOYS TO ARMY
The widow of General (Fighting Fred)
Funston when lately interviewed said:
“I do not see how any American wom
an can justify herself in trying to keep
her boy out of the army now that we
are at. war. If my boy were old enough
I should want him to go to France.
There are tears in the heart of the moth
er who sends her son to the firing line,
but her devotion to America should be
stronger than sorrow for her personal
loss.”
“For the young man, a year or two in
the army is the best possible preparation
for the rest of his life- Often he is re
made, physically. When I see these lit
tle, pallid, stoop-shouldered elevator boys
in New York I can’t help wishing they
could have a year of military food and
military exercise.
“I am very glad that my boy wants to
go into the service. I know of no finer
work for a man than army work. He
can never get rich or have many of the
so-called good things of life. But in
civilian life only a few men earn for
tunes. And how much in ideals, honor
and domestic companionship is sacrificed
to attain them!
