MAKING READY
FOR COMBAT
IN U. S. NAVY
Red Cross is Called Upon for Com
presses and Bandages for
188 Ships
(Br Aasoriatrd Preu Dispatch)
August 11, 1917, at the request of
William C. Braisted, surgeon general
of the United States navy, the Amer
ican Red Cross has called upon ten
of the larger chapters of the society
nearest New York to supply at the
earliest possible moment surgical
dressings for each of 188 battleships
and destroyers. Each ship will require
thousands of compresses and band
ages, the entire consignment making
a total of more than six hundred
thousand surgical dressings.
The surgical dressings are to be
prepared by the women workers in the
Red Cross Chapters at Chicago, Pitts
burgh, Cleveland, Washington, Balti
more, Philadelphia, New York, Atlan
ta, Boston and the northeastern divi
sions, these chapters being chosen be
cause their proximity to New York
will expedite delivery. It is expected
to fill the order within the next ten
days.
Women qualified in the various
chapters to make surgical dressings
are working night and day for the
rapid completion of the work. Only
women who have taken the Red Cross
course in the making of these band
ages are eligible to engage in the ac
tive work.
With the declaration of war there
has been a rapid increase in the num
ber of women taking the Red Cross
surgical dressing courses. In June,
4,144 certificates were issued to women
who had taken the course of eight
lessons of three hours each, and in
the first ten days of July, 1279 cer
tificates were issued.
Each chapter will supply the bat
tleship named after that particular
State and others in which they might
have a geographical interest. Thus,
the Chicago chapter will supply the
Chicago and the Illinois. New York
will supply the New York and the Al
bany. These boxes as completed will
be shipped by chapters direct to the
Bush Terminal at New York for dis
tribution to the ships.
