Major Charles Lynch. Medical Corps, U. S. A., was in charge of the emergency service. Miss Jane A. Delano, Chairman of the Nursing Committee of the American Red Cross, acted for that committee in the necessary arrangements so far as it was concerned. Miss Anna J. Greenlees served as director of Red Cross nurses, and Mrs. Theodora North McLaughlin represented the District Chapter. The physicians on duty at the stations were members of the Inaugural Sub-committee on Ambulances and Hospitals. The nurses were Red Cross nurses of the District of Columbia and the Boy Scouts were supplied by the local Boy Scout organization.

It will be noted that no very great demands were made on the emergency service of the Red Cross during the inaugural period. Most of the patients required rest rather than medication or hospital treatment. This they were able to obtain at the Red Cross Stations. These also sheltered a few cases of serious illness and for all everything possible was done.

The weather conditions were in marked contrast with those of four years ago, which contributed largely to reducing the number of cases requiring emergency treatment.

The thanks of the Red Cross are due to the following physicians, nurses and Boy Scouts for services which, while by no means spectacular, were thoroughly creditable in every respect.
