There were present not 1 only Col. W. L. Peel, Division Manager; C. B. Bid well. Associate Manager, and Z. Bennett Phelps, Division Director of the Bureau of Military Relief, together with a number of the Red Cross Field Directors and Assistant Field Directors from the camps, but also, W. Frank Persons, Director General of Civilian Relief; Henry S. Thompson, National Director of the Bureau of Camp Service, and Charles E. Fox, Assistant Director of Camp Service in charge of construction. A number of important matters were discussed, among them being the personnel in th? training camps, the building and panning of the Red Cross houses for convalescent* in the camps, and the appointment of directors for these houses, instructions regarding hospital information service, and the relation of the Home Service department to the department of Military Relief and^ the Importance of Home Servloe to the men in the training camps and In the trenches, which latter was Udken up with the field directors by Mr. Persons. The volume of Home Servloe work to be done necessitates the appointment of an associate field director in charge of home servloe who will work with the regular field director in the tamp. There will also be a Home Service director on every transport that carries American troops to France, so that every soldier who leaves family or business worries behind mav have someone to whoa to turn for help and advioe. The problem of keeping up the morale of the arm? by making them understand that their families are well looked after while they are away as well as that of helping to maintain a normal standard of living in the families where the men are away belongs to the Home Service or Civilian Relief Department "At the time of the Napoleonic tampaigna," said Mr. Persons, "It was estimated that the morale of the army was more important than ammunition In the ratio of S to L In the present wtr, one of the greatest English generals has ^estimated the ratio as 9 to 1. Home Servlee Is more important to the United 8t*tes troops than to those of England ?ad France, because the French and English soldiers have two weeks' leave every 90 days, can return to their homes and look after their moct pressing business affairs for themselves. But the American oldier who goes to France will prob-VI 1- ..til Blfit A# &uij omy m riauvo uuui wc v,uu v& the war, and it is only through the Home Service Department of the Red Cross that his mind cu be relioved from all wonry concerning affairs at home so that his entirfc attention can be concentrated* on soldiering." Many illustrations of the value of Hqme Service In the training campe of this country were given by the Field Directors, and the duties of the men in charge of this branch of the work outlined. Henry S. Thompson, national director of the Bureau of Camp Servloe, spoke on the duties of the military field directors In the camps and their relation to the Home Service Directors In the same samps. The building or tae uea uroes bouses in 40 army camps in this country waa then talken up by Charles E, Pox, assistant director of Camp Service in charge of construction, and th? purpose of these bouses was explained to the Field Directors and assistants who were present. Quarters and a place of amuaepient will be provided in these houses for convalescent soldiers who are well enough to leave the hospitals and yet sot well enough to return to active duty, as well as accommodations for the families of men who are ill , enough to make it necessary to send for. their relatives. It if being planned that a large part of the furniture for these houses shall be made by- the older boys in the , Junior Red Cross auxiliaries.
