Willcox Howard Wayne Smith, Executive Secretary HISTORY The organized life of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter, American Red Cross, dates from March 4, 1916, when approval of its organization was received from National Headquarters in Washington. Before that date much preliminary work had been done. A meeting was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Harrison, 1618 Locust Street, Philadelphia, on January 22, 1916. At this time efforts were being made throughout the country to arouse interest in the reorganized and enlarged American Red Cross. The Hon. William Ploward Taft, Chairman of the Central Committee, Mr. Ernest Bicknell, Director of Civilian Relief, and Colonel Jefferson Kean, Director of Military Relief, of the National Red Cross, were present at the meeting and, following their suggestions, a temporary Executive Committee was elected with Dr. Richard H. Harte as Chairman and the following members: Mr. Cyrus H. K. Curtis Mr. T. DeWitt Cuyler Mr. Effingham B. Morris Dr. Alfred Stengel Miss Henrietta B. Ely Dr. Charles PL Frazier Miss Emily R. Fox Dr. D. J. McCarthy Mr. Charles C. Harrison, Jr. Colonel Samuel D. Lit Mr. Charles J. Rhoads Mr. Stevens Hecksher At a subsequent date the following were added to the Committee: Mr. Geo. Wharton Pepper Mr. Richard L. Austin Mr. G. W. C. Drexel Mr. Otto T. Mallery Mr. Geo. Q. Horwitz Mr. Geo. H. Lorimer Dr. Charles J. Hatfield Capt. J. Franklin McFadden Dr. Chas. B. Penrose Mr. James M. W'illcox Dr. Chas. L. Furbush Mr. Reed A. Morgan Mr. Geo. W. Norris Mr. Charlemagne Tower Negotiations for the recognition of the Chapter and the adjustment of its relations to the National Organization were carried on and brought to a successful conclusion through the efforts of a Committee consisting of Dr. Alfred Stengel, Chairman, Dr. D. J. McCarthy and Colonel Samuel D. Lit. The territory assigned to the Chapter included Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia Counties. Public attention was turned toward the proposed activi- ties of the Chapter by an exhibit, which was held during the month of April, 1916, in the Widener Building, a part of which was afterward transferred to the Commercial Museum in connection with a civic exposition called "Philadelphia Today and Tomorrow." Further publicity was secured through a leaflet printed at the expense of Mrs. Arthur H. Lea. By May 1st, 381 annual and 3 life members were en- listed. Shortly after this, the first membership campaign was undertaken by a Committee under direction of Colonel Samuel D. Lit. This drive brought the membership up to 16,000 by the end of July, 1916. Subsequent membership drives were carried on in 1917 and 1918, the high-water mark of 500,000 members being reached at the conclusion of the 1917 drive. Out of the Widener Building exhibit grew the establish- ment of the Instruction Classes in First Aid, Elementary Hygiene and Home Care of the Sick, and Dietetics. Since this sort of instruction is being carried over into the Peace Program of the Red Cross, its early introduction into the Chapter's scheme of work is of more than passing interest. The organization of a base hospital in Philadelphia claimed attention in June, 1916, and subsequently Dr. Harte reported that he had received from the "Women's Committee on Preparedness" the sum of $25,000 to be used for such a hospital. Out of this grew Base Hospital No. 10, with which Dr. Harte later went abroad as Director. The personnel of this hospital was drawn from the Pennsylvania Hospital. Other Base Hospitals were formed in the University of Penn- sylvania, Jefferson and Episcopal Hospitals, with a Naval Base in the Methodist Hospital and a Field Hospital Unit in the Presbyterian Hospital. All of these were later called into service, and while the Chapter was in no sense directly responsible for them, it acted as custodian for some of their funds and cheerfully supplied whatever material was requested. It, therefore, feels a due measure of pride in the skill and success with which these hospitals were managed by their respective Directors. Matters of organization were under constant considera- tion up to the entry of the United States into the Great War, and even then many adjustments became necessary to meet the varying and increasing demands of the Red Cross in aid of the Government. Until October 31, 1916, the affairs of the Chapter were managed by the Executive Committee as originally appointed, with additions from time to time. Various committees of this body were entrusted with specific duties as the needs arose. But in the fall of 1916 a more definite plan was adopted, under which a Board of Directors was elected and its Chairman authorized to appoint the necessary committees in order to secure proper division of labor. The key to the structure was the Executive Committee, on which Dr. Harte, the Chapter Chairman, appointed the following members: Dr. Charles J. Hatfield, Chairman, Mr. G. W. C. Drexel, Mr. C. J. Rhoads, Colonel S. D. Lit and Dr. Alfred Stengel. This committee, changed somewhat in its personnel by resigna- tions and appointments, served until October 15, 1917, when its functions were taken over in large part by the Executive Director and the Special, afterward General, Committee, whose activities are noted in subsequent pages. 2 A noteworthy achievement of this Committee was the creation and installation of a carefully wrought out scheme of departmental organization and business management. This was the work in the main of Captain J. Franklin McFadden, whose business acumen was a most valuable asset to the Chapter during this year of intense activity and rapid growth. Quick expansion in every direction became the order of the day. The first office of the Chapter was at 608 Chestnut Street, afterward transferred to 1419 Walnut Street, and later to 221 South Eighteenth Street, until the removal to 1615 Chestnut Street in the summer of 1918. Notwithstanding the size of the Eighteenth Street house, loaned to the Chap- ter by Mrs. E. T. Stotesbury in most generous fashion, and the larger quarters on Chestnut Street, it was at no time possible to put all the departments of the Chapter under one roof. At the high tide of work the Chapter was using seven buildings: 221 South Eighteenth Street, 218 South Nineteenth Street, southwest corner Eighteenth and Locust Streets, 1607 Walnut Street, 1703 Walnut Street, 1609 Walnut Street, and 1315 Market Street. The active participation of women in the Chapter work is marked by the appointment, on June 27, 1916, of Mrs. Arthur H. Lea as Chairman of a Woman's Auxiliary Com- mittee, with authority to select other members. At no time since have Red Cross women failed in their marked devotion to the cause. Unstinted praise is due the multitude of women volunteers who served in the Chapter departments and in the branches and auxiliaries, numbering at least 50,000 in all. As the scope of the Chapter's activities enlarged, it was found advisable to adopt a policy for subsidiary organization throughout the five counties. In the summer of 1916 it was therefore agreed that the term "Branch" should be used geo- graphically, and membership in such branches was made inclusive of all in each particular locality who wished to become members; and that the term "Auxiliary" be used as an administrative definition to apply to groups of individuals only, subject to the direction of the Chapter. Sixty branches, some with dependent auxiliaries and others with sectional or group subdivisions, have been organ- ized. The number of auxiliaries identified with branches was 105. In Philadelphia 326 auxiliaries have been recog- nized, with 5 auxiliaries at large in as many outlying dis- tricts. The list of branches and auxiliaries appear in later pages. Of vital importance to the Red Cross was the inaugura- tion of the First War Fund, for which it was proposed to raise throughout the country $100,000,000, the Chapter's share being $1,125,000. The week of June 18 to 25, 1917, was designated as the period of the drive. Interest in this cam- paign was aroused by the visit to Philadelphia of Mr. H. P. 3 Davison, Chairman of the Red Cross War Council. Mr. E. T. Stotesbury was elected Chairman of the Chapter on May 31, 1917, in succession to Dr. Richard H. Harte, resigned. Mr. Stotesbury served as Chairman for the War Fund Compaign. The sum finally raised in the Chapter amounted to $2,800,000. Prior to the launching of the Second Red Cross War Fund, a War Welfare Council was organized in the territory of the Chapter for the purpose of making a concerted effort to secure the funds for war relief work apportioned to Phila- delphia and vicinity through the national relief organizations, including the American Red Cross. This "War Chest" move- ment relieved the organization of the Chapter from any active participation in securing contributions. It resulted in the raising of over $6,000,000 for the Second Red Cross War Fund. On October 1, 1917, announcement was made of the establishment in Philadelphia of the office of the Pennsyl- vania-Delaware Division of the American Red Cross, with Mr. Charles Scott, Jr., as Division Manager. The reports of the several departments will show the vast amount of work accomplished under the pressure of war time needs, and will further indicate the great variety of the endeavors undertaken calling for the creation of new departments and temporary committees to meet the situations as they arose. By the time of the annual election of officers in October, 1917, the Chapter was in the full swing of its war relief work. There was a great increase in activities and two important steps directed toward a closer co-ordination of departments and a greater degree of efficiency were taken. A special committee of the Board, later known as the General Committee, authorized on October 15, 1917, and consisting of Mr. Randal Morgan, Chairman, Mrs. Arthur H. Lea, Dr. Charles J. Hatfield, Mrs. Thomas Robins and Mr. John B. Townsend, Secretary, was appointed. It was made the duty of this committee "to review the work of the Chapter and report to the Board." A series of conferences with the heads of the fourteen departments of the Chapter was ar- ranged. The amount of information brought to the Board by the Committee and its authoritative character were of inestimable value in guiding the work of the Chapter through all that period. No recommendation of the Committee, which altogether held thirty-six meetings, ever failed of adoption by the Board. The quiet, strong leadership of Mr. Randal Morgan, the Chairman, deserves far more than the single sentence here written in its recognition. The other important action in the autumn of 1917 was the appointment of the recently elected Secretary of the Chapter, Mr. John Barnes Townsend, to the position of Executive Director, in which he served with rare skill and energy until January, 1919. The Red Cross owes its success 4 to such volunteer workers as Mr. Townsend and his col- leagues in the direction of the Chapter activities. It is suffi- cient, perhaps, to say that when the war time leaders, Mr. Stotesbury and Mr. Townsend, relinquished their official positions they left a Red Cross organization in every way equipped and nicely adjusted to carry on the less strenuous, though equally important, peace program. Following the recommendation of the General Committee, the Board of Directors, in providing for the management of the work in the future, authorized the appointment of the following Executive Committee, which has had oversight of the work since January, 1919: Dr. Charles J. Hatfield, Chairman Mrs. Arthur H. Lea Mr. Livingston E. Jones Mr. Thomas S. Gates Mrs. Henry C. Boyer Mrs. Thomas Potter, Jr. Mr. Paul Thompson This report is intended to cover mainly the war time activities of the Chapter, or up to April 1, 1919. D DEPARTMENT OF WORKROOMS In January, 1917, Mrs. Thomas Potter, Jr., was appointed Chairman of the Women's Working Committee. Other mem- bers of the committee were: Mrs. Charles C. Harrison Mrs. Alfred Stengel Mrs. Arthur H. Lea Mrs. Charles W. Nevin Mrs. William R. Mercer Mrs. Charles J. Rhoads Mrs. Horace Binney Hare Miss Emily S. Smith Miss Henrietta Ely Mrs. R. R. Porter Bradford Miss Emily B. Fox Miss Susan C. Francis Mrs. Richard H. Harte Miss Hannah Wright Mrs. John W. Geary On February 12, 1917, the Working Committee opened rooms on the street floor of 221 South Eighteenth Street. At that time there were no auxiliaries or branches, and the com- mittee was obliged to do the work as well as to finance itself. This was done by generous contributions of $1,000 each from Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Lea, to which others added some $3,000 during the following two months. The first work undertaken was the equipment, wholly or in part, of the five base hospitals which went from Phila- delphia. Base Hospital No. 10 was the first assisted and the first to sail overseas. It was found necessary, almost immediately, to relieve the Women's Working Committee of the double responsi- bility of doing the work and raising the money. In March, 1917, the Board of Directors authorized the financing of the committee from the general Red Cross funds. The committee, in the early days, did its own buying and its own cutting and, aided by friends, undertook all sewing. In the beginning the Working Committee did surgical dressing work, the Surgical Dressings Committee making sample boxes only and inspecting the work of the auxiliaries and branches. Four rooms were set aside for surgical dressing use on the second floor of 221 South Eighteenth Street, where classes were conducted for four months under the supervision ot Mrs. Charles W. Nevin. The Workrooms Department was then asked to add to its other work a Class of Instruction in Surgical Dressings. This work was promptly got under way with two classes daily, numbering 20 members each. The phenomenal growth of the Chapter necessitated a clearer definition of the different departments. On July 12, 1917, the surgical dressing rooms were turned over to the 6 Surgical Dressings Department, and the instruction classes were, about the same time, transferred to the Department of Instruction. Thereafter, the Workrooms confined its activities to the making of hospital garments and supplies. As the work increased the department moved twice, in each case to larger quarters; first in rooms at 1417 Walnut Street and then in Chapter Headquarters, 1615 Chestnut Street. In July, 1917, came the first demands for large quantities of knitted articles. Wool was sold at cost to those who would return the finished products to the Red Cross. Within a few months it was determined to distribute wool without charge, and a time limit was set for the return of the completed articles. Mrs. William Henry Trotter, Chairman of the Wool Committee, assisted by Mrs. J. Rutherford McAllister and Mrs. Walter Ross, Vice Chairmen, did splendid and generous service in this department. Early in the fall of 1917 a Miscellaneous Supply Depart- ment was established under Mrs. Albert Fink Smith, to care for the many articles which had accumulated, which were not authorized by the Red Cross nor made from accepted Red Cross patterns. This department was housed at 1419 Spruce Street, and the articles handled by it were primarily for the use of the Home Service Section, although thousands of articles were given to other relief committees and to the Red Cross Bureau of Camp Service. Through the summer of 1917, the thousands of garments needed in the work were cut free of charge through the cour- tesy of the tailors of Philadelphia and by the Snellenburg Company. Soon the work assumed such proportions that it was necessary to establish a separate cutting department. This was done in December, 1917, at 1419 Spruce Street, the house being loaned for that purpose by Mr. Francis A. Lewis. Mrs. John Hallowell was placed in charge of this work, which was continued with great success and economy until October, 1918, when National Headquarters arranged that all cutting be done by the various divisions, and the Cutting Depart- ment was then transferred to the Pennsylvania-Delaware Division. In December, 1917, the Pennsylvania-Delaware Division found itself with thousands of garments in its warehouse which, on account of some minor defect, could not be shipped. Transportation difficulties made it impossible to return these garments to the Chapters by which they had been made. On this account, the Department of Workrooms opened a Cor- rection Department at 1419 Spruce Street, to assist the divi- sion. Mrs. Henry D. Paxson was placed in charge of the 7 work, to which was added the making of model garments for the division. This work was discontinued in October, 1918. During that month the Workrooms began the making of refugee garments. Hospital garments and supplies having been produced in such quantities when the cessation of hos- tilities came, it was thought wise to concentrate all efforts on refugee garments, for which there was so great need. On several occasions the department faced situations de- manding swift action. During the influenza epidemic 500 children's night dresses were made one Sunday and were ready for distribution Monday morning. Later, 3,000 knitted undervest sweaters were supplied within twenty-one days for the use of nurses serving in Northern France. At another time 9,000 wind-proof paper-lined vests were needed for ship- ment to Siberia within three weeks. An interesting variation in the work was a linen shower for France, held during October and November, 1918, in order to replenish depleted hospitals. The call was for 350,000 sheets, towels, napkins and handkerchiefs. The response from the auxiliaries and branches was generous and gratifying. A paid force facilitated the system of supply at the work- rooms, but the burden of the work was assumed by volunteer workers, some fifty in all, whose promptness, efficiency and tireless devotion made it possible to meet the constantly in- creasing demands of the work. The following figures do not include the 75,000 knitted articles and comfort kits which were distributed individually by the branches and auxiliaries to the Local Draft Boards, or the French Linen Shower: Chapter Production.

The department has had four Chairmen: Mr. Charles J. Rhoads, Mr. Charles L. McKeehan, Mr. Leonard T. Beale and Mrs. Thomas Potter, Jr. 8 DEPARTMENT OF INSTRUCTION This department had charge of the educational activities of the Chapter, and began operations July 1, 1916, when it was established in the temporary headquarters at 1417 Walnut Street, under direction of the Activities Committee, consisting of Dr. Alfred Stengel, Dr. C. H. Frazier, Dr. C. L. Furbush and Dr. R. H. Harte. In the fall of 1916 the work of the department was di- vided, Dr. H. M. R. Landis becoming Chairman of the Com- mittee on Instruction for Women, while Dr. Stengel remained Chairman of the First Aid Committee. Later the whole work of instruction in the Chapter was consolidated at the Teaching Center under the chairmanship of Dr. Joseph S. Neff. The department grew rapidly after it moved with Head- quarters to 221 South Eighteenth Street, and in June, 1917, was installed in the Teaching Center, at 218 South Nine- teenth Street. The first classes took up the study of Elementary Hy- giene, Home Care of the Sick and First Aid. Later classes were formed in Surgical Dressings instruction, Dietetics, with an equipped kitchen, the making of Hospital Garments and the inspection of Hospital and Refugee Garments. The rec- ords show that 426 classes have been formed and that the enrollment has been 3,183. The course for nurse's aides, designed to teach prompt and intelligent action in emergencies, was given to 185 classes. The proof of its efficiency appears in connection with the remarkable work done at the time of the influenza epidemic. A file of those receiving diplomas in this course is kept in the Chapter office, so that there is always at hand a means of recruiting helpers for future crises. In order to carry out the peace program of the Red Cross in accordance with suggestions from National Headquarters, the Department of Instruction, after the signing of the armis- tice, was enlarged into the Department of Nursing Activities. Dr. Neff having resigned as Chairman of the Instruction Department, Dr. S. Lewis Ziegler was appointed Chairman of the Committee on Nursing Activities. The Vice Chairmen of the Committee are Mrs. Henry D. Paxson, who is Chair- man of the Subcommittee on Instruction, which will continue to have the care of all the instruction work of the Chapter, and Mrs. William Henry Brooks, who is Chairman of the Subcommittee on Public Health Activities, which has been entrusted with the development of the Public Health portion of the Red Cross peace time program. 9 SURGICAL DRESSINGS DEPARTMENT This department was first organized in April, 1917. In eighteen months of work, 9,267,380 surgical dressings were made, an output nearly sufficient to care for all the men in the American Expeditionary Forces who were wounded be- fore the armistice was declared. These were packed and sent to all branches of the service, including battleships, de- stroyers, base hospital units, army camps and evacuation hospitals. This figure includes the front line parcels which the Red Cross was requested to make for the Army. These were of two different types, and contained from ten to fifteen dress- ings apiece. They were subjected to an additional steriliz- ation process, so that they might reach the front line dressing stations in an absolutely sterile condition. During the influenza epidemic the department made 55,000 face masks and 500 pneumonia jackets. At the close of hostilities, when the department ceased work, the balance of dressings on hand was distributed among the local hospitals, a portion, however, being reserved for use in disaster relief. The splendid record of the department was achieved through the co-operation of women workers in the Surgical Dressings Departments of the branches and auxiliaries. Suc- cess depended entirely on this group of producers, and the quantity and high standard of the output is due to their indefatigable care. The department was started originally as a bureau to issue sample dressings to the branches and auxiliaries, and occupied a single room at 221 South Eighteenth Street. A small box of samples was received from Washington, showing perfect dressings of the type required at that time. Duplicates were made and packed for distribution. Constant changes in the types of dressings were made necessary by the character of the wounds inflicted by modern warfare and the different kinds of treatment. The Navy sent many requests for shell-wound dressings, which were promptly filled. When the Allied medical officers in France ordered the standardization of all dressings it necessitated the production of the larger types. The committee included Mrs. Rodman E. Griscom, Chair- man, Mrs. John H. Gibbon, Vice Chairman, Mrs. Francis R. Packard, Secretary, and Mrs. J. Alison Scott, in charge of inspection and packing. 10 DEPARTMENT OF MEMBERSHIPS, BRANCHES AND AUXILIARIES Prior to July 1, 1917, the solicitation of memberships, apart from the special campaigns, was in the hands of a Committee on Memberships. Paralleling the increase of mem- berships, the development of branches and auxiliaries went on throughout the Chapter under the direction of the Executive Committee. On July 1, 1917, these two phases of extension work were united in the Department of Memberships, Branches and Auxiliaries. The committee consisted of Dr. Charles D. Hart, Chairman; Mrs. John White Geary, Vice Chairman of Memberships; and Mrs. Joseph Leidy, Vice Chairman of Branches and Auxiliaries, who later resigned. Sixty branches have been organized and are still intact. Recognition has been given to 464 auxiliaries, of which 32 have been discontinued. On January 1, 1917, there were 18,000 members in the Chapter. A small campaign conducted in the spring increased the number to 100,000. The first Roll Call, held from Decem- ber 17 to 24, raised the total to 425,000 members. Notice was received from headquarters that no renewal memberships would be solicited throughout the year, but should thereafter take place during the annual Christmas Roll Call campaign. The 1918 Christmas Roll Call was held from December 16 to 23, directed by the following committee: Dr. Charles D. Hart, Chairman; Marshall S. Morgan, Treasurer; W. Hinckle Smith, Colonel Samuel D. Lit, James M. Willcox. Including those who joined after the first of the year, the present membership is now more than 375,000. Early in the summer of 1918, the Committee on Member- ships was placed in charge of a campaign for the enrollment of nurses for service in the Army and Navy. Although this campaign was begun at an unseasonable time of year, after most of the nurses' training schools had held their commence- ments, meetings were held, literature was distributed, per- sonal appeals were sent to all nurses whose names could be secured, and every available prospect was solicited to enroll for service. Appeals for help were sent to the various nurses' training schools in this vicinity. The quota assigned to the Chapter was 400, and 262 were finally secured. This equalled the aver- age throughout the United States, where 20,494 were enrolled out of a national quota of 50,000. The outbreak of influenza in the city prevented a vigor- ous prosecution of the campaign, as every available nurse was drafted for service in the battle against the epidemic. Dr. Hart having resigned in the early part of 1919, Mrs. John White Geary is now Chairman of the department. 11 HOME SERVICE SECTION At the meeting of the Board of Directors, held March 28, 1917, plans for a Department of Soldiers' and Sailors' Fami- lies were presented by Mr. Stevens Hecksher. The name of the department, of which Mr. Hecksher became Chairman and Mrs. John C. Groome Vice Chairman, was afterward changed to Department of Civilian Relief. A subcommittee for the care of the families of soldiers, sailor and marines was formed, of which Mrs. Henry C. Boyer was made Chairman. This committee became known as the Home Service Depart- ment of the Chapter, and has performed the functions orig- inally assigned to the Department of Civilian Relief. Early in April, 1917, the Home Service Department started work in two small rooms at 1419 Spruce Street, given the Red Cross by Mr. Francis Lewis. The Committee, two or three volunteers, one stenographer and one social service worker were thought sufficient to do the work, but the De- partment became one of the largest in the Chapter and has been of incalculable importance in maintaining the morale of the soldiers in the trenches and camps by giving them the assurance that their families at home received every care and consideration. In these two years the work has developed enormously. Instead of two rooms, the Home Service is using the very large house, 1607 Walnut Street, generously donated by Mrs. Campbell Harris, as an administrative office, the office for the After Care cf the Discharged Soldier and also for the Information Service. In various parts of the city eleven dis- trict offices have been opened. The Clothing Committee is housed at 218 South Nineteenth Street and the Committee in Charge of the Home Service Work of the branches at the same place. From 109 applications and 97 families under care during April, 1917, the work has increased to 6,545 appli- cations during the month of March, 1919, and 10,305 families under care on April 1, 1919, a total of 38,112 applications having been received from families during these two years. The staff of workers has increased correspondingly. There is now a total of 170 paid social and clerical workers and 462 volunteers. What is this work that the Home Service has done and is still doing? The question might well be answered by "everything"; financial aid, health, employment, education and recreation. The necessary living expenses of a family must be attended to. When a soldier left home, it sometimes took from six weeks to two months before his family received his first pay and Government allowance. The Home Service 12 saw that the family was given enough money to live on. When the allotment and allowance reached the family, it was not always enough to cover the expenses unless further assistance was given by the Home Service. A loan was sometimes needed to pay interest on the mortgage or insur- ance and to tide over a bad time. The signing of the armistice by no means put an end to the work of this Department. Bad housing conditions must be reported; medical and hospital service often has to be secured; some one in the family may be ill, convalescent care is needed, an operation necessary, or tuberculosis suspected. In the matter of health the Home Service is ably assisted by Dr. Edward Parker Davis and a committee of volunteer physicians. The hospitals and dispensaries are most cooper- ative. Dr. J. Hamill Swing has helped the Home Service frequently with advice and service whenever dental work was necessary. Summer outings have been arranged for, and in the summer of 1918, 750 women and children were sent to the country or seashore for a two weeks' vacation. When- ever it seemed likely that, because of the absence of the man in service, a child would be compelled to leave school and go to work to help support the family, the Home Service Section has given a scholarship and arranged for vocational guidance through the WThite-Williams Foundation so that the child's education need not be interrupted. Clothing for the family is a big problem and, though after the family is adjusted and able to manage its finances, a clothing allowance is given, before that time the Clothing Committee undertakes the work of supplying the family with necessary garments. Since September, 1917, when this de- partment was started, 31,168 garments have been distributed. Providing coal for the families of soldiers has been a neces- sary service, particularly in the severe winter of 1917—1918. In the past two years $17,778.07 has been spent for coal. Of that amount, $1,287.80 has been refunded by the families. Now that the soldiers are being discharged, they must be told how to apply for compensation, reeducation and the opportunity to receive the proper medical treatment. The Government refers to the Red Cross the names of all men who have been discharged for physical disability. It is the duty of the Home Service to get in touch with these men and their families and to inform them of the provision the Gov- ernment has made for them and to co-operate with the Fed- eral Board for Vocational Education, providing for the fami- lies while the men are being reeducated. The Information Service, begun a year ago, gives infor- mation in regard to allowance and allotment, casualties, the location of men in the service and application for the bonus allowed discharged men. In this department, besides the Superintendent, ten interviewers and eighteen clerks, there 13 are a notary public and a lawyer, the two last donating their services daily. For about six months a worker has been on duty at Broad Street Station seven nights a week, giving information and assistance to enlisted and discharged men applying to the canteen workers. These are only some of the things that the Home Service has done in its past two years of work. The thought always before it has been to keep the families up to the same stand- ard of living as when the enlisted men entered the service. These families feel the Red Cross is there to help them, no matter how small or large their problem. The officers of the Executive Committee are: Mrs. Henry C. Boyer, Chairman; Mrs. Gibson Bell, Treasurer; Mr. Henry H. Bonnell, Secretary. 14 CANTEEN DEPARTMENT The work of the Canteen Department was organized in the fall of 1917 by Mrs. George W. Childs Drexel in her home, Eighteenth and Locust Streets. She was selected Chairman, and devised the excellent plan for the distribution of hot meals, lunches and supplies to the troops as they passed through Philadelphia. This plan has been carried out by the various subdivi- sions of the service, operating as the Troop Train Service, the Embarkation and Debarkation Service, the distribution of lunch boxes to the Philadelphia men in the selective draft, the Motor Truck Train Service, the Hospital Train activities and the rest rooms and information booths in the railroad stations. Prior to the armistice, the great part of the work was with the troop trains. From October 1, 1917, to December 1, 1918, the Canteen served approximately 1,000,000 men, or an average of 2,300 every day. On one occasion 14,000 soldiers were served in a single day, of which 9,000 received hot meals. A chief with her squad of workers kept constant vigil at the Pennsylvania Railroad Station at North Philadelphia and at the Baltimore and Ohio Station at Twenty-fourth and Chest- nut Streets. Men embarking from a Philadelphia pier had their last contact with American women in America when canteen workers served steaming hot coffee, raisin buns, cigarettes and embarkation postal cards. At the special request of any local draft board, all men leaving Chapter territory were sup- plied with box luncheons. The Motor Truck Trains, with their convoys, had travel- ing and billeting made easy by a canteen system along the route. Six thousand men in this service have been supplied with sleeping quarters, showers, writing rooms and meals while they were in Philadelphia. The Hospital Train Service was greatly extended, and more than 24,000 men, either sick or wounded, received can- teen hospitality as they passed through Philadelphia. The special committee supplied each train with sponge cake, milk, fruit, chocolate and cigarettes; or, if desired, a full meal of Salisbury steak, French fried potatoes, milk, coffee, buttered rolls, sponge cake, fruit and cigarettes. These services are carried aboard the hospital trains and served with individual care to the men on their litters. In this connection also the Hospital Service did a great deal of transfer work. The Card and Games Auxiliary, working from the Can- teen, distributed 21,000 packs of cards and 6,900 games. 15 Early in November, canteen information booths and rest rooms were opened in Broad Street Station, the Reading Terminal and the Baltimore and Ohio Station. Many thou- sands of men in the service obtained information, reading, writing and bathing facilities and meal tickets. The officers of the department were: Mrs. George W. Childs Drexel, Chairman; Mrs. George W. Boyd and Mrs, George B. Evans, Vice Chairmen. 16 SHIPPING DEPARTMENT The duties of this department were, generally, to collect and ship all articles and to take care of all the transportation required by the Chapter. The work was of necessity varied, due to many condi- tions, as, for instance, the Canteen Department requiring regular service in connection with their work, found this service could better be performed by the committee itself, assisted by the Motor Corps, calling on the Shipping Commit- tee onlv for extra service. The Committee on Mending Sol- diers' Clothes, after advising with the committee, arranged for a truck to be used solely by the committee, calling on the Shipping Committee only for emergency work. The committee had charge of receiving, sorting, packing and shipping the clothing for the Belgian Relief drive, in Marc]i, 1918, and the transportation of the clothing received during the second Belgian Relief drive, in October, 1918. The committee arranged for the collection and shipping of all the goods received by the Conservation Committee. The Volunteer Factory received from the Junior Red Cross, 25,135 refugee garments, and made themselves 18,423 refugee garments and 4,510 articles of hospital supplies, all of which were transported by the Shipping Committee. The Shipping Department took charge of the storing of the equipments of the following base hospitals: Pennsylvania, No. 10; University, No. 20; Jefferson, No. 38; Episcopal, No. 34; and a part of the equipment for Methodist, No. 5, and the Presbyterian Unit. The equipment consisted of some 30,000 crates, some of the crates weighing from one to two tons; in all, there were approximately 50 carloads of material, weighing about 300 tons. The equipments were stored, checked and inventoried and turned over to the United States Government when required. The Shipping Department received, inspected and placed in cases for shipment, 19,723 Christmas packages, to be sent to the troops abroad and at the various cantonments in the United States, during the Christmas season of 1917; these were shipped in 164 cases. Tbe surgical dressings were packed by the Surgical Dressings Committee, the boxes being transported by the Shipping Committee as directed. The number of surgical dressings forwarded was 6,318,809 in 5,897 boxes. The Shipping Committee was also charged with the ' ity of storing and packing all the hospital supplies and knitted goods produced by the Chapter, and for their distribution. This committee also arranged to have in stock at all times sufficient articles readily obtainable for emergencies. 17 The quantity of hospital garments, supplies and knitted goods received, stored and packed, amounted to 1,094,369, divided as follows: Hospital Supplies ............................................................ 444,054 Hospital Garments ......................................................... 3r'3,574 Knitted Goods ..................................................................... 256,64i shipped in 3,295 cases. This work was looked after by the ladies of the commit- tee, who were untiring in their efforts—ready at all times and doing the manual labor required with a cheerfulness and thor- oughness that was encouraging to all who were associated with them. The work they did was work that men should do, being of a character requiring physical exertion that was most exhausting. The failure to do what was needed would have greatly embarrassed this department of the Chapter. That the Chapter was able to forward all articles promptly after being made and inspected, and that the great work for which the articles were intended, of furnishing relief to our wounded soldiers, was not delayed, was due to the efficient work of the following: Mr. Paul Thompson, Chair- man; Mrs. J. Gardner Cassatt, Vice Chairman; Mrs. Albert Lucas, Mrs. William J. Willcox, Miss Gertrude McCall, Mrs. Frank Thorne Patterson, Mrs. Samuel Bispham, Mrs. Edward T. Stotesbury Lewis, Mrs. Howard W. Lewis, Miss Elizabeth N. Cooke, Mrs. William Ellis Scull, Mr. Stockton Townsend. 18 SUPPLY DEPARTMENT This department, under the direction of Colonel Samuel D. Lit, with Airs. Alfred Stengel as Vice Chairman, did most comprehensive and important work. Among the tasks accom- plished were the following: Furnished and equipped the headquarters and various departments; purchased stationery, supplies, coal, and super- intended all repair work. Supplied to the auxiliaries, Junior Red Cross, Workrooms and Volunteer Factory, wool, needles, raw materials, cotton for making surgical dressings, hospital and refugee garments and comfort kits with their contents. Provided the Motor Corps, Christmas Parcels Committee and Instruction Department with necessary equipment, sup- plies and insignia. Furnished with full equipment all emergency hospitals during the epidemic and disposed of this equipment at its termination. Sold a large number of Red Cross Christmas calendars. Ordered all service badges. Arranged for packing and storing of surplus stock of materials and wool, without charge to the Chapter. Obtained from the department stores the use of motor trucks for delivery. Maintained a small force of paid and volunteer workers who were constantly at the service of auxiliaries and others interested in Red Cross activities. 19 DEPARTMENT OF MENDING SOLDIERS' CLOTHES When the Quartermaster's Department of the United States Army asked the Red Cross to help with reclamation work—namely, the patching of soldiers' garments and the sewing on of buttons—a Department for Mending Soldiers' Clothes was organized on September 12, 1918, Mrs. Henry D. Paxson, Chairman. This was located at 1122 Walnut Street, where the entire building was taken over for offices, a dis- tributing depot and central workrooms for volunteer labor. These rooms, under the management of Mrs. Franklin Bache, proved a remarkable success, and thirty women worked there daily. They were also used as an instruction center for the chairmen of branches and auxiliaries. Soldiers who passed and saw the sign came in to have small repairs made, and officers dropped in to have chevrons or service stripes sewed on. From the Schuylkill Arsenal the department collected all the soldiers' clothing which needed mending. The articles were distributed to the branches and auxiliaries and, when finished, were returned again to the Arsenal. From Septem- ber 15 to February 15 the department received and mended 292,169 garments. In addition to these, the Arsenal received and delivered several thousand garments directly to auxil- iaries. An artistic poster, made especially for the department by Miss Edith Emerson, has been widely distributed through the State in response to requests received from public libra- ries and schools. Transportation was an important part of the work, and was handled by volunteer private cars and trucks from the Arsenal and Red Cross. Mrs. Paxson gratefully acknowl- edges the co-operation of Mrs. Edgar W. Baird, State Chair- man of the National League for Woman's Service, who, as Chairman in the Department for Outside Affiliations, contrib- uted, through Mrs. John White Geary, many helpful and efficient workers. 20 MOTOR CORPS The Motor Corps of the Chapter began work on June 25, 1918, at the time when the rush of Government production was at its height. There were 103 women volunteers in the corps, all owning and operating their own cars. Primarily, the corps had been taken over to facilitate Red Cross work by quick and economical transportation. Special service was rendered to the Canteen Department, which handled wounded soldiers returning from overseas. At the outset, however, the cars were placed at the dis- posal of Government officials, to whom time was valuable, and the corps members acted as chauffeurs for members of the Secret Service, the Ordnance and the Quartermaster's Departments. In six months the corps filled 2,373 calls. The total mileage was 69,948. There were 370 stretcher "cases" handled by the corps, and the members assisted at all embarkations and debarkations at the port of Philadelphia. An ambulance service was organized with nine ambu- lances. During the influenza epidemic these were kept busy night and day, and were driven only by members of the corps. On September 28, another ambulance was presented by the pupils of Miss Wright's School, and the new vehicle was used immediately for emergency work. All women drivers of Motor Corps ambulances were trained in First Aid and military stretcher drill and had to have mechanical certificates, chauffeurs' licenses and health certificates. The work of the Canteen Department became especially heavy with the arrival of many men wounded in the war. A truck was obtained and two others were given to the corps. It became necessary to establish a night service to answer emergency calls. The officers of the corps follow: Mrs. Thomas Langdon Elwyn, Captain. Miss Helen Dougherty, Adjutant. Mrs. W. Morgan Churchman, Quartermaster. Mrs. Nathaniel Knowles, First Lieutenant. Mrs. Sidney Thayer, First Lieutenant. Mrs. Norman P. Sloan, First Lieutenant. Mrs. J. Sommers Rhodes, First Lieutenant. Mrs. George Dallas Dixon, Jr., First Lieutenant. Mrs. L M. Loughead, First Lieutenant. Miss Madeline Asbury, First Lieutenant. Mrs. Nelson Warwick, Second Lieutenant. Mrs. Stevenson Crothers, Second Lieutenant. Mrs. Spencer A. Mulford, Second Lieutenant. Mrs. Ralph C. Scott, Second Lieutenant. Mrs. S. Leonard Kent, Jr., Second Lieutenant. 21 NAVY AUXILIARY At the request of the Honorable Josephus Daniels, Sec- retary of the Navy, the Navy Auxiliary of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter, American Red Cross, was organized by Mrs. Edward T. Stotesbury in October, 1917, to make knitted garments and supplies for men in the Navy and to safeguard their interests in every possible way. Headquarters were opened at 221 South Eighteenth Street, and the policy of the organization was directed by the officers and Executive Board. Mrs. Alfred M. Gray, the Vice Chairman, actively directed the work. On the first day of its existence a committee of men rep- resenting 5,000 civilian employees of League Island came to Headquarters with a donation of $1,000 to provide a tobacco fund that would supply "smokes" to American men in for- eign waters. Later contributions totaled $9,600, which fund was administered by Assistant Pay Master Arthur Rembert and Assistant Pay Master John J. Kehoe, of the League Island Navy Yard. Groups of people wishing to work for the Navy were formed into sections of the auxiliary. When the armistice was signed the auxiliary included 150 sections, representing 16,000 workers drawn from all sections covered by the Chapter. An essential feature of the work was the prompt delivery of iaw materials to the sections and the collection of finished garments; therefore the Navy Auxiliary Motor Corps was formed in March, 1917, with 35 members under the command of Mrs. Milton Herold. Each member owned and drove her own car and paid the cost of operation. The chief duty of the corps was the delivery of supplies, but the cars were also placed at the disposal of naval officers for urgent official calls, and, whenever possible, cars were supplied to the Home Service Department of the Red Cross and all the allied war organizations. During the influenza epidemic the members often served fourteen hours a day. The Stonemen's Fellowship offered the use of one of their ambulances to the corps, and this was used to transfer sick men from the ships and Navy Yard to the hospital. The corps likewise transported physicians and nurses and carried food from a district center to families of influenza victims in sections where the epidemic was especially severe. One motor car was used as a hearse when none could be procured, and on two occasions a detail of cars carried sol- 22 diers from their barracks to the funeral of a comrade who otherwise could not have been buried with military honors. During the epidemic the auxiliary co-operated with the Medical Corps of the Fourth Naval District in opening two emergency hospitals at 48 South Twenty-second Street and the adjoining building, which were cleaned, renovated and made ready for use in two days. The Country Club for Enlisted Men at Fox Chase was opened as a convalescent hospital. The auxiliary supervised the work, and the section at Fox Chase, under Mrs. F. H. Argo, constituted itself the Hospitality Committee. A Hospital Committee was formed which provided com- forts for sick men in all naval hospitals in Philadelphia. Crates of oranges, jellies and ice cream were sent to these hospitals. In addition, 150 daily newspapers were distrib- uted to the patients, and the men were provided with games, victrolas, magazines and picture puzzles. Coincident with the organization of the auxiliary, work- rooms were opened at Headquarters and were maintained under the direction of Mrs. William A. Piatt. The wool room, in charge of Mrs. Jules Mastbaum, supervised an output of 73,000 knitted garments, which were made by the sections. The knitted garments, when inspected, under the direc- tion of Mrs. William Ridpath, were sent direct to Assistant Pay Masters Rembert and Kehoe, at the Red Cross Supply Station at League Island Navy Yard. All requests from indi- viduals, from ships, -or from adjacent training stations, were promptly filled by these officers. The method of distribution insured prompt action and eliminated duplication. A Reclamation Department, opened later under Mrs. Joseph Israel for the repair of clothing, reclaimed more than 1,000 garments for the Government. In May, a sewing room, under the direction of the Navy Section was opened at Headquarters, and 2,538 hospital gar- ments were made. In October, a surgical dressings room was opened; 6,589 miscellaneous articles were made. A special department for comfort kits turned out 4,000 completed bags and housewives. The armistice found ■ the auxiliary members preparing Christmas packages for men in foreign waters. More than 7,800 boxes were shipped to Brest, France, Guatanamo Bay and Cuba, filled with socks, candy, tobacco and Christmas cards. The true value of the auxiliary cannot be estimated, how- ever, in facts and figures. It was the only organization of this character in Philadelphia, where some 50,000 sailors have been continuously located. In fulfilling its purpose to safe- guard the Navy interests, it constantly gave advice and assist- ance to the sailors in their personal affairs. 23 The personnel of the auxiliary included the following members: Mrs. E. T. Stotesbury, Chairman; Mrs. Alfred M. Gray, Vice Chairman; Mrs. John Gribbel, Treasurer; and Miss Julia Rush, Secretary. The committee chairmen were: Mrs. George Fales Baker, Miss Julia Berwind, Mrs. Ellis Gimbel, Mrs. Milton Herold, Mrs. Samuel Lit, Mrs. Jules Mastbaum, Mrs. William A. Piatt, Miss Caroline Sinkler, Mrs. Joseph Snellenburg and Mrs. George W. Urquhart. Lieutenant Commander F. R. Payne was the Naval Aide. 24 VOLUNTEER FACTORY On February 28, 1918, Red Cross Factory Service, No. 1, came into existence. It has demonstrated that months of systematic, tireless effort on the part of women who were willing to work in a factory under factory conditions "over here" is adequate motive power to manufacture thousands of garments for refugees in the Allied countries "over there." A two months' test was ordered by the Chapter to de- termine whether the production of refugee garments on a factory basis was entirely satisfactory. The results were watched closely by officials of the National Red Cross and the National Committee on Information in Washington. Rec- ognition and approval were accorded by both organizations before the eight weeks expired. The enormous gain in production and"the saving in time and labor proved the advantages of the factory method and the power machines. The factory was established at 1315 Market Street, with Mrs. Grenville D. Montgomery in charge. The soundness of the principle as applied to Red Cross work so impressed the leading merchants and manufacturers of the city that they donated the entire equipment, furniture, machinery, motor power, light, and even the time clock. John Wanamaker gave the floor space for the factory, rent free, and offered a third floor if it was needed. Two floors were accepted. The inspection, packing and shipping were handled on the third floor and the work room covered the entire fourth floor of the building. Thirty-eight electrical power machines lined the center of the room. Shelves and bins were provided for work in different stages of completion. There were long tables for cutting and assembling garments, and storage closets were loaded with bales of uncut material. The women came in hundreds. The factory opened with two shifts daily, lasting three hours each. During the next week evening shifts were arranged on Tuesdays and Thurs- days to accommodate experienced operators who volunteered their services, despite a day's driving work in their own factories. Originally it was planned to handle refugee garments only, but in July these were laid aside because of the imme- diate need for surgeons' operating gowns. In response to this "hurry call" 4,510 were made. From the opening day until January 9, 1919, the factory production, including the operating gowns, totals 22,933 com- pleted garments. 25 Twenty-four thousand six hundred and twenty garments were cut for the factory, and an additional six hundred and fifty for the division. The work was augmented by the opening of a receiving station for the work of the Junior Red Cross, which was added to the above production. Many of these articles were sent by the various high schools, where the students re- sponded enthusiastically to the call for volunteers. From this source alone, a total of 25,135 garments had been received up until January 1. Of this number, 22,288 were inspected, packed and shipped. Mrs. Montgomery has been aided in her work by many efficient helpers, who acted as assemblers, instructors and inspectors. Among them were Mrs. James Newlin, Mrs. E. S. Briggs, Miss Frances Crawford, Mrs. Eavenson, and others. The Factory Service uniform consists of a smart gray apron and a wing-tipped cap. Embroidered on the apron under the Red Cross are the letters V. F. S. 26 JUNIOR RED CROSS When President Wilson proclaimed a junior membership in the American Red Cross on September 15, 1917, he told the school children of America that "it will bring to you opportunities of service to your community and to other com- munities all over the world, and guide your service with high religious ideals. It will teach you how to save in order that other suffering children elsewhere may have the chance to live. . . . And more perfectly than through any of your other school lessons you will learn . . . to be the future good citizens of this great country which we all love." The opportunity to foster this spirit among our own children and to permit them to translate it into terms of active service has been recognized and encouraged by school offi- cials. There are now 703 auxiliaries in the Chapter. The Chairman is Henry J. Gideon, a member of the Department of Superintendence of Philadelphia Public Schools and officially in charge of the Bureau of Compulsory Education. Individual memberships are not required nor received from pupils. The membership unit is the school itself or the school district. When a public, parochial or private school fulfills the necessary requirements and joins the Junior Red Cross, all the boys and girls automatically become members. Having obtained the consent of the school authorities, and having made formal application to the Chapter, the school is pledged to one of two courses. It must either col- lect and pay dues equal to the sum that would be collected if every child in the school gave 25 cents, or the pupils must render a satisfactory pledge to the Chapter School Committee that they will do Red Cross work. The amount deposited in the school fund of the Chapter from February 1 to December 31, 1918, was $20,094.30. Of this sum, $8,483.46 was disbursed, leaving a balance of $11,610.84. Work is mapped out separately for the boys and girls; but in some instances they have worked together in making supplies for destitute people here and in Europe. Their pledge dedicates the children to "the service of their city or village" and the study of Red Cross history to determine the most helpful methods. The choice of subjects for school auxiliaries has been governed largely by the character of the school—whether it is in the city or country—and by the grade. They include such topics as First Aid, Home Nursing, Public Health, Cook- ery, Nature Study, Relief Work and Civics. But most im- portant of all is the fact that the children confront the Red 27 Cross principles of service, and absorb this idealism, at the age when their natures are peculiarly sensitive and responsive. Their output has been great, and shortly after the estab- lishment of the Volunteer Factory, at 1315 Market Street, a receiving station was opened for the products of the Junior Red Cross. Between February, 1918, and the first of this year, 25,135 garments were received and 22,288 were in- spected, packed and shipped. William C. Ash, Director of Vocational Education, Phila- delphia Public Schools, reported the following list of articles made by the schools in the Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter: Eight Foot Tables.................................................................. 8 Six Foot Tables........................................................................ 11 Benches ....................................................-....................................... 33 Tabourets ....................................................................................... 10 Folding Tables........................................................................... 25 Ink Wells ....................................................................................... 10 Tableware Chests .................................................................. 200 Plain Bread Boards.............................................................. 100 Folding Bread Boards...................................................... 100 Veneer Splints (12 to a package)........................... 5,000 Drawing Boards ..................................................................... 24 Total.............................................................................................60,518 Miss Alice L. Keech, Supervisor of Domestic Art, Phila- delphia Public Schools, reported that, in addition to the hos- pital garments and supplies already mentioned, there are now about 2,634 refugee garments in process of construction in the schools. There are also 3,930 waterproof cases which have been completed, and the entire output was turned into the factory before the end of the winter school term. 28 DISASTER RELIEF In pre-war days of the Red Cross the Department of Disaster Relief was one of the two important sections into which the national work was divided. When the Chapter came to be organized in March, 1916, there was appointed a Committee, with Mr. Theodore J. Lewis as Chairman, on the subject of Disaster Relief. This committee had but little to do until the influenza epidemic made its appearance in the fall of 1918. At this time a new committee was in process of organization under the leadership of John C. Bell, Esquire. The committee took immediate action, and Emergency Hospital No. 2, as it was called, was completely furnished and manned within forty-eight hours. It was established in the Medico-Chirurgical Hospital, a building which has been temporarily vacated because of the building operations on the new Parkway. The hospital and all its furnishings were placed at the disposal of the committee by the University of Pennsylvania. They, in turn, offered it to the Mayor of Philadelphia and to the Director of Public Health on behalf of the Red Cross. The offer was gratefully accepted, and the building was equipped for $14,493.49. The contribution was of inestimable value. Ordinary agencies were entirely unprepared to cope witn the pestilence, which caused hundreds of deaths each day and piled up a mortality record of 13,000 for Philadelphia. Conditions were aggravated by the scarcity of physicians and nurses. War service had depleted their ranks, and those who undertook to answer the many calls were soon weakened by fatigue and succumbed to the epidemic. On Wednesday, October 9th, just three days after a committee meeting had been held to discuss relief methods, the hospital opened its doors. There were 200 beds, and the staff included a force of 270 persons, the majority of whom were volunteers. Miss Anna Rogers, Supervisor of the De- partment of Instruction, acted as Superintendent. All patients were treated without charge, and the institution saved scores of lives by providing care that was almost impossible to obtain in view of the prevailing conditions. The Red Cross spent $100,000 in fighting the epidemic. Thirty-two emergency hospitals were opened under its direc- tion. Sixty-seven additional hospitals were supplied with all kinds of materials, with volunteer workers, ambulances, and with every sort of equipment. See report on the Influenza Epidemic for further particulars. 29 Operating expenses to cover the cost of food, drugs, wages, light and heat for Emergency Hospital No. 2 totalled $11,333.81. The cost of equipment and maintenance was $25,827.80, and operations were concluded finally on Saturday, November 16, 1918, twelve days after the last patients had been discharged. John C. Bell, Esquire, was Chairman of the Committee; Dr. George H. Meeker, Vice Chairman; Joseph E. Widener, Treasurer; and John Ihlder, Secretary. 30 EMERGENCY CORPS Originally the Emergency Corps was under the direction of Dr. William R. Nicholson. In May, 1918, when he was unable to remain in anything but an advisory capacity, Dr. Mercedes A. Roberts became Director. The records of the Corps show a large amount of service rendered in the community which was outside of Red Cross activities but which might properly be termed disaster relief. The Directors of the Free Library of Philadelphia loaned the Sixty-fifth Street and Haverford Avenue branch for the lectures, quizzes and practical demonstrations in dietetics which Dr. Roberts gave each Tuesday. The sessions ended with an army drill. Arrangements were made to admit the young women to the West Philadelphia Homeopathic Hos- pital as substitute nurses and helpers in the clinics, and they all averaged six hours a week. When the epidemic came, members of the Corps left their places of employment and went into Emergency Hospital No. 2, on the Parkway. Those whose employers insisted on part time worked from four in the afternoon until midnight in the hospital. Others went on duty from 11 p. m. until 6 a. m. The Emergency Corps has an ambulance, the gift of the Chapter, which is housed at Sixty-third Street and Girard Avenue. 31 INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC During the influenza epidemic the members of the Red Cross at home were as courageous and zealous in fighting the mysterious disease as were the men across the sea in their battling. They scrubbed floors, nursed the sick, fed the hungry, comforted the dying, and performed, with gentle hands, the last rites for those who died among strangers. At Chapter Headquarters, thickly piled reports from chairmen of the departments, branches, auxiliaries, organ- izations in the counties and the smaller groups in churches and schools tell of the tireless work done. Some chairmen report with sorrow the death of workers who contracted the disease while nursing. There are apologies from some workers who were delayed with reports because members of their families were ill and demanded their care. Others regretted that they had not more strength to give. One member of the Red Cross Motor Corps who worked all day carrying influenza victims from their homes to the hospital, and then helped to nurse the patients at night, received an appreciative letter from Charles M. Schwab, Director General of the United States Shipping Board, commending her "service and heroic spirit." For the greater part, however, the work was done "un- officially," without mention—often without recognition—by men and women eager to help. The money expended in fight- ing the plague and the supplies furnished by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter approximate $100,000. A striking instance of the speed and efficiency of Red Cross service was the refitting of the old Medico-Chi Hospital, which had been partly dismantled for the Parkway. Almost over night an extraordinary amount of work was accom- plished. Inside of forty-eight hours, the United Service Club, on South Twenty-second Street, and the adjoining building were transformed into an emergency hospital, under the direction of the Navy Auxiliary. Similar despatch was used at Bryn Mawr, where, within three days, an old inn was completely equipped; and at Kennett Square, where an academy in bad repair was made ready in twenty-four hours for occupancy. Wherever an emergency hospital was needed, the same speed characterized the work, and, in all, there were thirty-two established. 32 DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION The Conservation Department was established October 3, 1918, to collect certain materials which the Government deemed essential for war activities. This department was under the direction of the following committee: Mr. C. Hart- man Kuhn, Chairman; Mr. Samuel Bell, Jr., Mr. Edward Ilsley, Mr. W. Hinckle Smith, Mr. Paul Thompson, Mr. T. R. Tunis. The work moved with such rapidity that the first carload, containing 27,500 pounds of peach and prune stones, sent to the Gas Defense Division, U. S. A. at Astoria, N. Y., was acknowledged by them as the first shipment received from any Red Cross Chapter. By November 19, the total shipments reached 97,400 pounds of fruit-pits and nut-shells. Further collections were checked by the signing of the armistice. Between 300 and 400 pounds of lead and tin-foil on hand at that time were sold, and the proceeds turned over to the Chapter. Through the courtesy of the United Gas Improvement Company and the Stedman Bent Company, truck service was supplied to the department at cost. The Armory Board fur- nished storage space in the basement of the Squadron Armory at Thirty-second Street and Lancaster Avenue. The first metal donation, oddly enough, was a silver medal struck off in commemoration of the fifteenth anniver- sary of the former Kaiser's wedding. 33 BELGIAN CLOTHING RELIEF COMMITTEE The Belgian Clothing Relief Committee had its begin- nings in calamity, when calls for help from Belgium came to America. In March and September, 1918, two campaigns for the collection of clothing for the people of the devastated country were made. More than 167 tons were shipped abroad. Mrs. J. Gardner Cassatt was Chairman of the March Committee, which included Mrs. Albert Lucas, Mrs. Bayard Henry, Mr. Paul Thompson, Mr. Stockton Townsend, Miss Elizabeth N. Cooke, Mrs. Horace Brock, Mrs. Edward S. Lewis, Miss Bryce, Miss Gertrude McCall, Mrs. W. J. Willcox and Miss Elizabeth Washington. Mr. G. Heide Norris was Chairman of the September Committee, which included Mrs. Bayard Henry, Mrs. J. Gard- ner Cassatt, Mr. Paul Thompson and Mr. Stockton Townsend. 34 CHRISTMAS PACKAGE DEPARTMENT The Government plan for sending Christmas parcels through the Red Cross to soldiers and war workers overseas was put into operation on November 1, 1918, when a Com- mittee on Christmas Parcels was appointed, with Mr. Living- ston E. Jones as Chairman. Through Mr. H. B. Harper, of the Overland-Harper Company, central headquarters were opened at 1627 Arch Street. Other distribution centers for the five counties were established in the headquarters of all the branches and in several auxiliaries. More than 75,000 cartons were distributed through the Chapter to the relatives of fighting men and war workers overseas. Each carton was opened and examined to see that the contents complied with the inspection rules. This work was in charge of a special committee, headed by Mrs. Randal Morgan. The packages were weighed, wrapped, sealed and sent to the Post Office. From then on, the department and the military officials overseas were responsible for delivery. The Junior Corps of the National League for Women's Service and the representatives of the Emergency Aid gave valuable assistance in the work. 35 NURSING SURVEY In spite of handicaps, the Nursing Survey for the Chap- ter, conducted by Dr. S. Lewis Ziegler, was achieved through a vigprous campaign, and 2,300 nurses and 190 midwives were registered. Sixty-nine hundred questionnaires were issued, and 900 clergymen were asked to announce the survey. Circulars were sent to 1,500 physicians. 36 DEPARTMENT OF ACCOUNTS AND RECORDS With monthly disbursements of $130,000 and the compila- tion of a mass of records listing the names of more than 500,000 members, the Department of Accounts and Records has had a most important part in the functioning of the Chap- ter. The most insignificant item in the Chapter's huge flow of financial transactions is recorded. The expenditure of every dollar is checked. The purchase of each yard of mater- ial is noted. Financial reports from the branches and auxil- iaries are collected. The first chairman of this department was Mr. C. H. Krumbhaar, Jr., who was succeeded by Mr. Marshall S. Mor- gan. Mr. Livingston E. Jones is the Vice Chairman of the committee. 37 BUREAU OF COMMUNICATIONS A welfare message sent by a civilian in Philadelphia to a relative in Germany marked the opening of the Bureau of Communications on May 10, 1918. This department for- warded communications to persons living in enemy countries and received and distributed the answers. It also handled inquiries about prisoners and the non-receipt of soldiers' mail, as well as casualty reports. Three hundred and seven persons were advised how to send money and packages to those in service. The bureau has forwarded 730 communications to Austria-Hungary, 823 to Germany, 311 to Russia, 25 to Turkey, 9 to Belgium, 12 to Roumania, 2 to Bulgaria, 1 to Italy, 5 to Siberia and 4 to Asia Minor. Infinite patience was required, because nearly all the clients had a very limited knowledge of English. Many replies were received, and a great number of un- claimed messages sent from abroad were successfully deliv- ered by the bureau after the Post Office had failed to do so. 38 GENERAL SERVICE BADGES In recognition of the loyal service given by women and men workers of the Red Cross, certificates have been issued which carry with them the right to purchase and wear the Red Cross Service Badge. For women workers this is a badge with a ribbon bar, and for men it is a button to be worn in the coat lapel. Awards are made to those who have given minimum service of 800 hours for not less than six months. Certificates bearing the signatures of the Chairman of the Chapter and facsimiles of those of President Wilson, President of the American Red Cross, and Henry P. Davison, Chairman of the Red Cross War Council, are issued, "in rec- ognition of service faithfully performed in behalf of the nation and her men at arms." A total of 3,810 such certificates have been awarded. 39 PUBLICITY AND SPEAKERS' BUREAU Publicity concerning the Chapter's plans and achieve- ments has been handled at different times in various ways. For short periods there have been regularly employed pub- licity agents, especially in connection with the various drives, both for funds and for members. The administration office has taken care of the general publicity and always found a generous spirit of co-operation among the newspapers of the vicinity. Circular letters to branches and auxiliaries and public meetings at different times have also been used in bringing the work to the attention of the public. During the war period much use was made of volunteer speakers, who, operating under the Speakers' Bureau, pre- sented the plans and methods of the Red Cross to numerous groups of people all over the territory. Under the Federal law the use of the Red Cross name and emblem is very carefully protected against those who might use it for other than legitimate purposes. The Red Cross has never depended upon the proceeds of entertainments and similar enterprises for the raising of the money necessary to its work, but frequently branches and auxiliaries have desired to give such entertainments for the purpose of raising funds for their local expenses. Such enter- tainments have been authorized through the bureau which had general charge of publicity and speakers. It has been a part of the duties of the Chapter administration office to supervise closely this matter. 40 INFORMATION DEPARTMENT The Information Department at Chapter Headquarters is maintained to answer all questions relating to Red Cross work. In December, 1917, Mrs. J. Alison Scott was asked to oversee the bureau, and under her direction Mrs. Beauveau Borie, Jr., became actual head of the department, giving vir- tually all her time to this service. In one year, 40,000 individuals asked everything from how to trace a man in the Army to advice on sweater pat- terns and how to get a divorce. Two-fifths of the visitors have been referred to appro- priate bureaus and the remainder have been given information direct. The department also handles membership enrollments and receives donations. The sum of $59,000 was taken in at the desk in a year. A branch desk, which supplied the same sort of service, was maintained by the Chapter on the first floor of the Wana- maker store. 41 OFFICERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS 1917-1918 OFFICERS E. T.
