The great variety of men whom one encounters in a big American Base Hospital is a continuous evidence of the manner in which the rank and file of the army represents the whole country. One of the patients at the Dartford Hospital, near London, is a wounded man who is always reading, and the books which he reads are enough to give a headache to an ordinary man. On this occasion when Captain Herbert Johnson of Boston visited him on a Red Cross errand, he had three books in front of him, one a work of Pure Philosophy, another a book of Sociological Ethics and a third, related to some obtuse theory of evolution. This man is a graduate of three universities
Capt. Hall American Red Cross representative at Base Hospital No. 7, at Tours offering Red Cross services to sergeant Leslie J. Martin, from Greeley, Kansas. This typical American soldier has been over the top ten times in four drives, 4 at Soissons, 1 at Chatigny, 3 at Chateau Thierry, and 2 at St. Mihiel. He says he would rather go over the top every day than hang round a hospital
American convalescent soldiers learning the slater's trade from an English woman at the big American RC Military hospital Sarisbury, Eng. Most of the patients now in the hospital are soldiers from Atlantic seaboard states, such as Georgia the Carolinas and Delaware, who were sent back to hospitals in Eng. after the St. Quentin push. They are quite at home at Sarisbury, which is staffed by a medical unit from Kentucky. The boy learning slating, however, is a Rhode Islander, Jules Jaques of Woonsocket. He was a machinist at home, bur has taken up slating working on the building operations in connection with the hospital
Melbourne, Australia. United States Army hospital. Exterior view of hospital. Towering high above the city is Australia's newest and finest medical structure, built as a civic enterprise as the Royal Melbourne Hospital. Today, renamed the United States Army Fourth General Hospital, it is a healing place for American soldiers and sailors.

A record medical practice. Dr. Joseph F. Jares of Chicago (center) has treated 12,000 ailing natives of Montenegro, during his first six months as medical director of the American Red Cross unit to that Balkan country. He is photographed with his staff of native assistants whom he has trained himself at the Red Cross hospital in Podgoritza. Dr. Jaros is the best known doctor in the country, having given some personal attention to each one of these thousands of cases. Before joining the American Red Cross in Montenegro, Jr. Jaros had served with distinction in the American Expeditionary Forces in France
Albanian nurses trained by Americans. Head nurse, Miss Lucy Joachim (at right of picture) of New York City, and Miss Agnes Eubank, American Red Cross nurse to the Balkans from South Charleston, West Virginia, and four native Albanian nurses who are under their instruction in the Tirana, Albania hospital. Red Cross hospitals throughout the Balkan countries are tending to stimlate the medical and nursing professions. As in many other countries of Europe, where hospital relief work has been carried on extensively, the scientific surgical and general nurses of America have become the models for foreign women who see the possibilities of raising this profession in their countries to the American standard
Where soldiers wounded in France will be cared for. New buildings being erected at the Walter Reed Memorial Hospital near Washington, D.C., for the reception of soldiers wounded on the field in France. Twenty five buildings have been built. They are one story high and are constructed of wood, having screened porches running around them. A feature of the hospital will be a building for reconstruction units. In this department soldiers who have lost their arms, legs or possibly their eyesight will be given instruction under trained men in various occupations that they may be enabled to make a living. About $200,000 has been spent so far in the buildings, and work is being rushed to complete unfinished structures
King and Queen of England inspect Red Cross activities at the American Military Hospital, Dartford, near London. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon in the prime of England's autumn season, and the spacious grounds of the hillside hospital were dotted with groups of convalescent American soldiers when their Majesties arrived. As the King and Queen and the Princess Mary walked around from ward to ward, crowds of American wounded, all dressed in hospital blue, clustered around them and they moved always through lanes of men whose bandages and crutches and splints told of heroism on the battlefields of France. The King was in a Field-Marshall's Khaki uniform
Military surgeons convene in international convention. Washington, D.C., May 8.
