Secretary Baker inspects American Red Cross activities in American camps in England. One group of soldiers whom the Secretary of War encountered in a camp near Winchester had a pleasant surprise for hom. "Did you know Mister Secretary," asked a lanky New England infantryman with a towel thrown over his arm, "that your cousin is in the camp here?" "My cousin," repeated the Secretary, astonished. "Yep!, your cousin, Sergeant Harry Chiswell of Cleveland. He's somewhere about here now. I just passed him as I was coming out of the Red Cross baths over yonder." The Secretary, with a group of soldiers trailing after him, hurried over in the direction of the Red Cross baths and encountered young Chiswell in a narrow passage between two barracks. "Well, how are you, Harry?" He called out. The two chatted together for about ten minutes
