ne without the Red Cross!" Leiter Hospital received the
same help; milk and ice and delicacies were furnished "promptly and
without stint." That was the watchword. And so with the regimental
hospitals; the surgeons in charge made requisition for necessary
supplies and they were forthcoming, even to the day of the departure of
the last troops from the camp, the hospital trains being supplied as
well. Thus the Red Cross followed the sick to the doors of their own
homes.

The Christian women of Chattanooga belonging to the Epworth League and
the churches of that city, did a greatly needed work in establishing
hospitals for the care of sick soldiers enroute. They were amazed and
delighted when they learned they could make requisition on the Red Cross
for necessary supplies.

Field Agent E.C. Smith, frail of body but stout of soul, was stricken at
his post of duty with typhoid September 12, but is convalescent and
rapidly gaining strength. When Miss Cromlein and Miss Maxwell retired
about the same date, they were succeeded by Miss Gladwin and Miss
Lounsbury, who have ably managed the affairs of the Red Cross at
Sternberg. Under my direction Miss Gladwin recently visited Anniston,
Ala., and found the service of the Red Cross greatly needed at Camp
Shipp. Miss Gladwin has established a Diet Kitchen at that camp and has
done much to better the condition of the soldiers in the camp hospitals.

There are still 200 sick at Sternberg and 50 at Leiter, but these will
soon I hope be furloughed and returned to their homes.

All who have represented the Red Cross at Chickamauga have worked with
the greatest self-denial and enthusiasm with full appreciation of the
lofty aims of the society and with personal pride. When the roll of
honor is made up, I know of no name that should be omitted.
