Professor Earle D. Babcock of New York University arrives in England on his way to American Red Cross Headqaurters in Paris, where he will be in charge of the new school for Training Red Cross Personnel. On his arrival in London he received a letter which he is seen reading. It was from the officer commanding the American troops on board the great liner on which Prof. Babcock commanded a detachment of Red Cross workers. The letter said, "The work of your Red Cross officers and nurses on board our ship made it possible to save the lives of a number of American soldiers who would otherwise have been lost. Please accept this expression of our deep and lasting sense of obligation." The reference is to a large number of influenza cases among the soldiers, who were cared for by the Red Cross personnel
