NUMBER 39
Prof. W. W. Davis Believer Movement is Greatest in Work of Red Cross
Headquarters At Berne
Wounded Soldiers Aided And Preparation Made For Future Disasters
Since the signing of the armistice, representatives from Red Cross organization in every part of the world have formed an international organization called the Red Cross Switzerland, which is the biggest organization the Red Cross has ever undertaken, in the opinion of W. W. Davis, associate professor of Amer- ics at the University of the Douglas County Committee in the drive for 1920 membership.
"Home and Foreign service are both being emphasized in the present Red Cross drive," said Professor Davis today, "and both are very important. We must ensure our readiness, maintenance and maintenance of hospitals, public service nursing, baby clinics, sanitation, the general improvement of the boards of health, and the co-operation with the state medical services for the prevention of disease."
Professor Davis served six months at the French front in the 34th Sanitary Train of the 89th Division, but great as the work of the Red Cross in the war, he believes it is even greater in the present reconstructive period.
The Red Cross is also taking an active part in co-operating with the government in helping the families of dependants and of soldiers killed in Iraq. The group, which is involved in Douglas County who were wounded over there will receive and from the membership drive proceeds He also emphasized the fact that the needy are the necessary disasters, such as fires, earthquakes, and famines.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 6 1910
Fifty base hospitals used in France, each containing 1000 beds, have been brought back to the United States and are being set up for use over here. The personnel of these hospitals, although demobilized from active service, is pledged to return to the Red Cross service if the needs arise.
According to Professor Davis, $34,000,000 worth of medical supplies and surgical instruments used in France has been turned over to the Red Cross to be distributed and used in Europe for relief of the suffering caused by the war. The Red Cross also contributes generously to the American Relief Association for the maintenance of hospitals in Europe for children.
"The International Red Cross is the greatest movement the organization has ever attempted, however," said Richard H. Emmons, who said that the Red Cross is a peace rather than a war organization is predominate in this international work, and Henry P. Davison, chairman of the International Red Cross, is at the head of the new organization which has the endorsement of the world's greatest physicians. The International Red Cross will be concerned primarily in eradicating every kind of disease and in issuing the effects of those diseases that can be eradicated."

COL. BARTOW LECTURES
Work of Sanitary Train of A. E F. In Supplying Water Is Described
Col Edward Barton recently of Col. Edward Bartrow recently of the Sanitary Train of the American Expeditionary Forces, lectured on the limitations of the lecture room of the Chemistry building Tuesday afternoon. Lantern slides were used to picture the work of the sanitary train in developing the limited water systems of the United States, a great demand of the American troops.
Colonel Bartow told of the large, modern filter plants installed at those French ports where American troops were landed, at the rate of ten to one plant per square mile. Extreme measures which were found necessary in several instances. At La Rochelea a dam was built across a canal and a filter plant installed above it and at Brest artist wells are given to supply the camps with water.
He said that German prisoners did most of the heavy work, but that there were times when troops were taken from the ships to do such work as digging mud from the bottoms of reservoirs.
Besides their great task at ports the Sanitary Train was held responsible for the water supply of the troops in transit and at the front. None of the allied forces used this method.
"May I express, through the columns of your paper, the satisfaction that I feel in the hearty-co-operation accorded by individuals, organizations, groups, and committees, that were called upon to assist in carrying out the plans for the All-University Halloween party? The fidelity, with which the work was done and the results achieved, has itself is deserving of high commendation and gratifying to all well-wishers of the University, and may be taken as a sign that a real loyalty movement is well under way."
Colonel Bartow also told of his stay in Paris during the bombardment by the German seventy mile gun and the heavy air raids.
