IT WAS 4 n. m. when we arrived nt Ostend, dark, cold and wet. All the hotels were overflowing lecauo nil Belgium had converged on Ostcnd. We eamo to the Casino, n hugo showy building which had been turned into ft British lied Cross hospital. In one largo hnll were 000 beds filled with wounded. The Sisters were kind; here nnd there wns un empty bed. so they said we might lie down on these nmong the patients till 6 o'clock, when we must turn out for them to wash the men. The tlmo came all too soon; wo were aroused and turned out Into tho wet street. Wo then found our 1 clilcr una told hlin we hud Joined the Belgian Croix Rouge. Proceeding to the central ofHce, wo were followed closely by the fox terrier whom I had christened "Bombe." At Oxtrnd They gave us six Boy Scouts to run our errands, a motor ambulance, and placed two doctors over the hospital. The doctors were father and son, the elder man a noted eye specialist. Ar rived ut tho palatial hotel we found we were ln chnrge of the whole of It, with tho exception of thp right wing, which was occupied by the Russian Ambas- I sudor and his suite. The dining ball had been emptied of furniture, and mattresses had been placed on the floor, the authorities not wishing the beautiful bedroom furniture to be used. A cook was also provided. Bo nldes, there were the four lady farm ers and Jlrs. C , all most devoted workers. Very soon tho patients arrived, sev enty of them, not seriously wounded. They consisted chiefly of pneumo nias, typhoids and wounded conva lescents. On the whole, wo thoroughly enjoyed that week-end In Ostcnd. Wo Hpent Sunday, Monday and Tuesday there, feeling the work a great respon sibility and busy catering for and nursing our large family without 11 moment's) rest. Some of our party dropped In and looked round, and we really felt wo had taken a wise step, for tliev had no work and were sleep ing where thoy could, whilst tho weather was atrocious. The Evacuation The pntrancc hall of La Plage Hotel is a thing of costly splendor, the roof a big dome inlaid with mosaics. At night our cook went home, likewise the Boy Scouts. There vuh tin one left to guard all this magnificence, and we two felt hugely responsible, so we sent our lady Helpers upstalra to bed while we dragged one of the patients' mattresses to the front door. Tlaelng It on the floor as a harrier, we slept there. This served two purposes wo were near the patients .md could also answer tho door quickly. Tuesday night was a night of alarms; thcro was one Interruption nfter another. Klrst, a drunken man walked In, announcing that ho be longed to tho nobility, that hU mother was the head of all the Croix Rouge and he wanted a shirt. We could not And a shirt, but we had a chest pro. tector; that pleased him mightily. Finding tho place warm, he refused to go away, so we bolted tip tho stairs and locked ourselves in one of the bedrooms. After some time wo ven tured forth to And that lie had gone. Wo settled down again on our mat tress with the faithful Bombe at our feet. Then an officer came in at 11 p. m. and ordered all our soldiers to be down at tho great terminus station ftho station we first arrived at) by midnight. Wo found their clothes and diesscd them. Germans Were Close Fortunately I had !ld In seventy brown loaves, having heard that there might be a scarcity; tho coffee was also over tho lire, ready for breakfast. We gave them each a mugful and a loaf. It was very sad to sec those poor fellows limp and hobble out In a large body. The station was nearly a mile away, it was wet and dark and they wcro unlit to walk. Those who could support the others gave a willing shoulder or arm, and so they left us leaning on each other halt, lamo and blind. Earlier in the evening one of our doctors came round and told us that our party were leaving for England tho following day, as tho Germans wero not far away. He told us that Ostend meant to mako a big flght; the British navy would liro ovvr the city upon tho besieging CJermans, and it was not uafe for civilians to stay. But we had thrown in our lot with the Belgians nnd meant to stick to them, so we declined to leave. After the patientn had departed wo replaced our mattress and went to sleep. Suddenly wo wero rudely awakened by tho door hunting opn and a tall Garde Clvique shouted out In French, 'Everybody ls to arise and fly!" We went upstairs to call our friends; by mlstnko I opened the wrong door, the door of an r.pparently empty room. To my surprise I found a strange woman ln bed. This led to a general discovery. Tho building was filled with strangers, people who had slunk' in by some back door unknown to us. I taught my friend tho French for the warning sentence of the Garde Clvique, and we each took alternate flours of this Immense building, open ing each door and shoutlnc, "Evety body is to arise and fly!"

Our American industries have accomplished prodigious results in building up a war machine to furnish munitions and supplies. But we have only begun. We must do more and more. This is not a war of armies but of nations in which every citizen must do his part. Every worker in our indus tries is truly fighting in this war. Every man, woman and child who gives of substance and savings is adding to the national power. , The foundation of all our vast war-making machine is the Liberty Loan. Money is needed to build more and more ships; to fur nish food and guns and powder and transport and airplanes; to raise and equip new armies.
