Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from What Is the Most Effective Organization of the American National Red Cross for War and What Should Be Its Relations With the Medical Departments of the Army and Navy?: The Enno Sander Prize Essay
With us, as it is not contemplated that the Red Cross will be put to the expense of educating its working personnel, it is thought that the association should provide uniforms, pay and rations for it while it is in the service of the government. If funds are available there will be no di?iculties in reference to the two for mer, but while it will be better for the Red Cross always to pro vide its own rations when practicable and thus not to burden the supply department, charged with the duty of furnishing the army with food, with its needs, circumstances may not infrequently be such in the field that rations can only be obtained from an army commissaryl Therefore, it should be provided that when necessary, on recommendation of the chief surgeon, with the au thority of the commander, Red Cross personnel may be issued the army ration and be allowed to supplement it by purchases from sales stores.
