Village women from Dartford, near London, visit American soldiers in new hospital just opened by American army there. Few of the visitors come empty-handed. They bring little gifts of all kinds for the soldiers, and the Red Cross usually commandeer their services, also for the distribution of comfort bags and other Red Cross material to distant parts of the grounds. All these things are carried about in "hospital wagons", which are sometimes pilled by the young women visitors, and sometimes by the convalescent Americans

A Sorrolla come to life. Small boys who have not seen a shower bath for years splash about at Evian, where all repatriates are forced to bathe before they are allowed to enter the life of the town. This prevents the spread of disease. These baths are prepared by the French Government and the American Red Cross for the exiles returned by the Germans from their side of the line through Switzerland to France

The last American wounded arriving from the front at the Salisbury Hospital, erected by the American Red Cross at Southampton, England. They are unloaded by the boys of the Kentucky unit now on duty at this base hospital

General Baden-Powell and a detachment of his Boy Scouts furnish an afternoon's entertainment for the wounded Amer. soldiers at the Amer. hospital at Tottenham, near London.
