GREAT NEED POINTED OUT
Originator of Fund Tells of Hospi

"ursca to Be Sent.
LONDON, Feb. 3. (Correspondence
of the Associated Tress.) Through the
co-operation in New York of Miss Anne
Morgan, lira. Etheibert Nevin and many
other philanthropic American women,
the French Wounded Emergency Fund
has enlUted the aid of several soci
eties in the United States, which have
sent large quantities of drugs and sur
gical supplies to the improvised hos
pitals of Normandy and Brittany, which
ore caring for nearly half a million
aii-k and wounded soldiers. French, Bel
gians and German.
Four motor cars have been placed at
the disposition of the French Wounded
. emergency Fund, which now has three
volunteer agents traveling constantly
from hospital to hospital, delivering
ether and other drugs, and keeping the
Ixmdon headquarters advised as to the
Immediate needs of particular hospitals.
Leaders Constantly In the Melds.
Mrs. Fatridge KloU. formerly of Phll
a.lelphia: Miss Daisy Polk, of San Fran
cisco, ami Mrs. Harry Floyd, the orig
inator of the fund, are constantly in the
li-ld. The movement has grown so rap
idly that an office has been established
nt 34 Loumies Square, London, and
agents have been placed at Havre. Bou
logne. Southampton and St. Malo to ex
pedite shipments made dally from the
London headquarters.
On her return from the Continent
Tlrs. Floyd told of many points where
the nurses and doctors are without the
means of making their patients com
fortable. One hospital of 200 beds, all
Jilied. hail only ono pair of blankets.
Another-tfli 200 patients had only 16
- ti.t:)niij serum and sur-
pical instruments of many sorts were
lacking in others.
F'reneb Lend Uniforms.
"I was In one hospital, the name of
which 1 would rather not make known,
where the 200 beds were about equally
divided between Belgians and French."
said Mrs. Floyd.
-When the Belgians came to the hos
pital their clothing was so soiled and
' worn that it had to be destroyed. There
were no nightshirts. pajamas, nor
dressing gowns in the entire hospital.
Most of the French patients were con
valescent. Fortunately their uniforms
were in presentable condition and they
were able to attend the mass which a
priest read in one of the wards. But
the poor Belgians could not go. They
had to stay in bed all the time and
wrapped sheets about themselves when
it became necessary for the orderlies
to make their beds.
"This went on for several days.
Finally tho French decided they
would give the convalescent Belgians
an opportunity to go to church. They
lent their uniforms to the Belgians
and went to bed, while their brotbers-ln-arms
attended the bervice.
Society 'Women Are Sponsors.
Eleven nurses aro being sustained in
French hospitals by the fund and
more will bo sent as soon as funds are
available to maintain them. Mrs. Ben
1-athrop, who is among the American
women who have given much time to
relieving the French wounded, is in
iharite of the shipments from London,
and is at present in France perfecting
the motor system to make sure sup
plies will be delivered with the greatest
possible speed. ..

DUIGHllELLPREPIIlED
TRAIS1XG PITS ARMED FORCES IN
EXCELLENT CONDITION.
Field Army In Addition to Frontier
Guards, Is Prepared to Concentrate
Within a Few Honrs.
AMSTERDAM. Feb. 3. (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press.) Ti
armed forces of the Netherlands have
never been in such excellent condition
as at present, after six months train
ing for defense of Dutch neutrality
against infraction at any point. Be
sides the frontier guards and the
troops forming garrisons of the for
tresses, which serve as supports to the
systematic and extensive inundation
teheme. there is a field army of five
divisions or about 100.000 men scattered
in strategic positions all over the
country ready, to concentrate at any
point within a few hours. For obvious
reasons the positions are kept from the
public knowledge and various districts
have been placed under martial law in
order to make difficult the prying of
strangers into the details of the mili
tary organization.
The troops are kept constantly at
exercise and their organization, which
is carried out to a great extent ac
cording to German ideas, is as near
perfect sfs possible.
From sunrise to sundown daily cav
alry, infantry, artillery and engineers,
as well as the various auxiliary serv
ices, maneuver on the broad, flat
plains, generally over reclaimed land
near the seashore.
Ono of the adjuncts of the Dutch
army which strikes the attention of
the foreign observer is composed of
sections of machine guns drawn by
mastiffs. The dogs display extraordi
nary intelligence in their work. When
the order is given they at once march
off under the leadership of the men in
charge of the guns toward the position
to be taken up. Generally this is on
rising ground, and they negotiate the
ascent with ease. On reaching near to
the top the order is given,to halt and
the dogs at once lie down until they
are released from their harness, after
which they proceed to a spot some
yards in the rear and lie down with
their heads between their paws until
the gun is to be moved again, when
they, at a word from the man in charge,
run to the front of the gun and wait
to bo attached. It would go hard with
any stranger attempting to touch the
gun,' for the animals have been trained
to spring at any intruder's throat.

Several Are Decorated for Advancing;
on Germans and ItescalnK Wound
ed Comrades While Under Fire.
LONDON, Feb. 18. Lieutenant Arthur
Martin-Leake, of the Royal Army Med
ical Corps, has received a clasp to the
Victoria Cross, an extremely unusual
honor.
Lieutenant Martin-Leake won the
Victoria Cross in the South African
war and, as this decoration Is be
stowed only once on an individual, the
clasp has been given some for "most
conspicuous bravery and devotion to
duty throughout the campaign, espe
cially during the period from October
29 to November 8 near Zonnebeke in
rescuing, while exposed to a constant
fire, a large number of wounded who
were lying close to the enemy's
trenches."
Lieutenant-Colonel F. W. Alexander,
of the Royal B'ield Artillery, has won
the Victoria Cross for saving his guns
at Elouges, Belgium, while under a
flank attack and for rescuing a
wounded man while under a heavy fire.
Among others who have received the
Victoria Cross are Drummer William
Kenny, for rescuing men on five occa
sions while under fire and twice sav
ing machine guns by carrying them
out of action; Lieutenant J. A. D.
Brooke, of the Gordon Highlanders;
Captain John Franks Valletln and
Lieutenant F. A. Depass, all of whom
were killed while leading attacks on
German trenches and rescuing wound
ed; James Mackenzie,- of the Scot
Guards, who also was killed, and Pri
vates Henry Itobson, of the noyal
Scots; Abram Acton and James Smith,
of the Border Kinglment. and Lieuten
ant rhllip Neame, of the Royal En
gineers, for rescuing wounded, and
Lance Corporal Michael Leary, of the
Irish Guards, for conspicuous bravery
at Cuinchy February 1.
Leary, according to the official ac
count, was one of a storming party
which advanced against the Germans
who were holding the first barricade,
which he captured after killing three
Germans and taking two prisoners.
Learv. thus says the offiofal report,
"practically captured the enemy's posi
tion bv himself and prevented the rest
of the attacking army from being fired
upon.
A largo number of military crosses
and other honors have been awarded
to officers and men for conspicuous
services during the operations in Flan-dors.
