Plans For Drafting the First American Army For War Service WiU Be Riady by My 1 ] HARRISBURG iflSgli TELEGRAPH LXXXVI— No. 149 20 PAGES POLICE ARREST WOMEN AT GATES OF WHITE HOUSE Women Who Carried Trea sonable Banners Sent in to Headquarters NO DATE FOR TRIAL Technical Charge of Blocking Traffic Lodged Against Them Washington, June 22.—The police to-day began dealing with the suf frage pickets aboi/t the White House with a iirm hand. Orders that no banners were to be permitted to be displayed and twenty policemen were stationed about the White House fence to en force the order. Miss Lucy Burns, of New York, and .Miss Catharine Morey, of Bos ton, curriers of a banner, who re fused to move from in front of the White House sates, were arrested and taken to police headquarters. "You'll have to move and Rive up your tyanner," said one of the po licemen to Miss Burns. "This is private property" the suf fragist leader replied, "and you have no right to take it away." "Wouldn't you rather give it up than be taken in?" said one of the police matrons. "We don't intend to give it up," said Miss Burns. "You have no right to take it. Our position is logical and constitutional, and yours is il logical and unconstitutional." The police then escorted the two women, who made no- further pro test, to a private automobile ma they were hurried to headquarters. The police detailed to keep tlia suffragists away from the Whit House to-day were without batons so that there might be no chance of injury if the crowd attempted to repeat its attacks of yesterday. At police headquarters the two banner bearers were informed that they had been arrested for blocking traffic and unlawful assemblage. They were released on their own recog nizance and no date was set for trial. Itcasonable Argument It developed that the suffragists took their banners out again to-day under advice of counsel, but that they had sprung a surprise on the police. Instead of banners bearing inscrintions characterized as "trea sonable'' and "offensive" they bore tanners inscribed with phrases from some of President Wilson's addresses to Congress, referring to the dedi cation of America to the rights of democracy. The suffragists issued a statement insisting that Miss Burns pnd Miss Morey had acted in a peaceable manner and only stood on their rights as citizens "to advance their cause by means of reasonable argument." "Surely," the statement records Miss Burns as saying, "you consider the President's own words a rea sonable argument," and continued to aii;ue that peceful picketing is al lowed by law. Undecided as to Course The banner which led to the ar rests to-day carried this sentence from President Wilson's war mes sage: "We will fight for the things we have always held nearest our hearts —for democracy—for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own govern ment." Leaders at suffrage headquarters were undecided after the arrest of Miss Burns and Miss Morey whether another effort would be made to dis play a banner. Someone inclined to favor waiting the outcome of the trial of the two women, but others took an opposite view, and a new banner to say to the Russian mis sion that President Wilson is de ceiving Russia by calling America a democracy was prepared in case it v.as decided to resume the offensive. JAPS TO AID RUSSIA. By Associated Press Copenhagen, June 22.

AMERICANS TAKE OVER SIX LARGE FIELD HOSPITALS British Staffs Released For Service Nearer Own Lines THOUSANDS OF BEDS Flag Flies Over Great Mili tary Establishments in France By Associated Press British Headquarters in France, Juno 2-2.—Quietly and with very little ceremony, so as to escape practically all but official attention, American doctors, nurses and enlisted men have within the last fortnight taken over six of the Gritish great general field hospitals, releasing the English staffs for duty near their front. American surgeons have been rendering valua ble aid also in the forward casualty clearing stations during the battle of Messines. This has been the quickest organized aid the United States has given British arms in France and has been greatly appreciated. The Americans have been much im pressed by the cordiality of their wel come as well as by the thoroughness and effectiveness of the British hos pital system. So smoothly have the transfers been made that the Amer icans have taken up their new work without even a moment's upset In the routine of the various hospitals. The Stars and Stripes fly with the British Union Jack from each hospital flag staff, the two ensigns fluttering side by side in the cool breezes that sweep inf from the seas. I'nltH Are Large The British selected their hospital sites with the greatest and have developed them with a tompleteness that lias come from nearly three years o( field experience. Some of the gen eral hospital* are made up of tented wards, accommodating forty to sixty beds each. Others are constructed of a aeries of huts. Both styles are mod els of field comfort and convenience. The operating theaters are splendidly built and seem to lack nothing in the way of modern surgical equipment. Originally planned for 1,040 beds each, the general hospitals have been practically enlarged to 1,400 beds and during a crisis one can accommodate 2,000 patients. The units which liave taken over the various hospitals were organized by the American Red Cross as "United States base hospitals" and with the declaration of war these staffs were turned oVer to the regular army for service as required. Marked Efficiency Kach unit has brought along an or ganizing director who was a surgeon in civil practice but now takes com mand as a major in the United States reserve. The commanding officer In each unit Is a regular American army surgeon, while the subordinate mem bers of the staff are made up of reg ular army surgeons and doctors com missioned from civil life. The nurses are all graduates of well-known train ing schools and will probably be sup plemented soon by voluntary aid de tachments of young women workers such as are now attached to the vari ous British staffs. The noncommis sioned orderlies and privates were practically all taken from civil life but in keeping with the doctors and nurses have settled Into their new work with marked efficiency ana en thusiasm. The first of the American units to reach France was known as United States Base Hospital No. 4, and was organized in Cleveland by Dr. George W. Crile, with Major Gilchrist, of the United States army, as commanding officer. This unit has taken over British general hospital No. 9, "some where in France." United States base hospital No. 5, organized at Harvard University by Dr. Harvey Cushing, with Major R. U. Patterson as com manding officer, has taken over Brit ish general hospital No. 11; United States base hospital No. 2. from the Presbyterian Hospital, New York, or ganized by Dr. George Brewer, with Major Lucius P.

Collins commanding, has taken over British general hospital No. 18. all, of course, "somewhere In France." Mobile Unit* Rach American hospital staff has also organized a mobile unit for serv ice >ln the casualty clearing stations Just back of the firing lines for emer gency work during the first days of great battles. The American hospitals present an Interesting International study with patients from England, Scotland, Ireland, Australia, New Zea land and Portugal. Steps will be taken soon to increase the various units and bring them up to the strength re quired for enlarged hospitals. Amer ican doctors and lurses have already acquired the tea habit, which they en joy every afternoon with the con valescent wounded.
