A summary of the year's work in which | this total is contained, was made j public to-day by Mrs. Francis J. | Hall, chairman of the canteen com mittee. The report follows: "The following Is the report of the canteen committee of the Harrisburg Red Cross for the year ending No vember 1, 1918. This committee met its first train October 15, 1917, and from that time the following trains have been met: 1917—October, 1,197 men; November, 1,725; December, 320. 1918—January, 39; February, 2,186; March. 1,620; April, 4,058; May, G,468; June, 0,182. July, 5,217; August, 9,475; September, 7,897; Oc tober, 9,461;, total, 55,787 men. "Number of troop trains met', 181; number of invalid trains met, 14; complete hospital trains met, 6; total, 201 trains "The canteen department has! drawn from the treasury of the Red Cross Chapter, $4,667. Of this j amount there are supplies on hand to the amount of s3lo'. The average i cost per man has been less than eight cents. In this estimate it must be considered that many meals have been served at seventy-five cents a man, which shows the extremely small cost per man, when only ordi nary cunteen service is given. Our greatest expense will be tho wound ed and sick men, who need the best of food, and in tuberculosis cases plently of milk and broth. We have had only 859 ltivujid men, but we know only too well that there will be thousands of them passing through, the care of whom will greatly add to our expense account. According to advices front Washington the troop movement in connection with the breaking up o'f the camps will be enormous, and the Red Cross is ex pected to feed many of these men. "The following telegram was re ceived this morning from Mrs. Drexel and speaks for itself. 'lnstructions from Washington * say, men dis charged to receive in passing, same treatment as in service.' "The cunteen organization consists of a chairman, an assistant to_ the chairman and a vlce-chairnan, twelve lieutenants and forty-nine workers. Since the early part of June, during the absence of the chairman, Mrs. Walter H. Gaither the assistant chairman, has been in churge of the work. Her interest and unselfish efforts have been untiring. She has been on duty day and night, and no train has been uncared for. The re ports of these months - show how splendidly the work has been done. "We now have a canteen infor mation booth, in the Pennsylvania station, also a supply closet for any emergency calls that may come. We hate made arrangements with the Harrisburg Hospital, to care for any sick or wounded men who may need attention. We have sleeping quar ters, and arrangements for feeding motor truck men or any soldiers who have missed connections; also have ntade provisions for special food for men on invalid trains. "Unless otherwise ordered, we dis tribute to the soldiers passing through Harrisburg, fruit, tobacco, magazines, always postcards, and during hot weather, ice cream. We have given out over 5,500 postcards, with a picture of the cupitol on them, all stamped ready for mailing. Upon instructions from Philadelphia, or requests from a commanding of ficer of a troop train, we serve hot meals. The men in charge of the Pennsylvania restuarant have often worked most of the night to prepare these meals for us. "A Hostess House has been open ed at the Civil Club and the canteen committee in charge of the vice chairman, Mrs. Miley Jones, serve refreshments there on Saturday and Sunday evenings. "We greatly appreciate the co operation and assistance given us by the employes of the Pennsylvania Railroad, who at any hour of the day or night are willing to give us any information necessary for our work, and to hwlp us in every pos sible way. Without their cheerful aid, our task would indeed be diffi cult. . "Every month the work is heavier, and we feel more worth while. The character of the work is changing. We had at first men who were anx ious and eager to get "over there,' full of life and enthusiasm, whose one idea was to get to Berlin, and we heard of the marvelous things thut they intended to do, when they got there. We still have, of course, numbers of the same kind, whoso disappointment is great, that the war is over, but we have also many of those who have been brought back from 'ove# there.' Men who have given, not, only their arms and legs, but in so many cases their minds as well, and who do not even know their own . names. They are Just wrecks of the fine fellows who left this country some months ago. "While our hearts are wrung by the pitiful sights we see and the stories thut we hear, we are more than repaid by the feeling that to some of them we may have brought a ray of sunshine.
