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'. GETTING INfb~DEEP WATER- Hulk —Well, I admit I made a mistake. Bulk —You made two.

August Dorr’s Sons 724 Broad Street 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! Page 15 1 ■ ! 1- * jru. jij I tsan I 1 I
