None the less an incalculable number of ,‘wounded soldiers have been saved for further human use- fulness, thanks to the scientific eq- uipment which the Red Cross has been able {to install in military hospitals. ~ A writer recently speaks of the supreme importance of a certain hospital which contains a very rare and unique instrument, called the. “Electro Cardiograph.” .T his is an extremely sensitive instrument, fixed on a rigid concrete bed, which registers automatically the condition of the heart. It is of incalculable value in the diagnosis of heart diseases, and its use has saved thousands 'of wounded sol- diers whose cases w0uld otherWise have been insoluble.

In fact there is mo Red Cross work more ardent and sympathetic than the soldier who will stop in the midst of battle at the risk of his life to ease hiis comrade’s suffering. Why then, should any man re- maining in Canada, scruple to av- ow himself 3a Red 'Cross enthus- iast! If there is any flagging in Red *Cross activity in Canada, it is the fault fof the men :rather than of the .Women. Men, it ' must be admitted have more interest in the active uside 'of military .preparâ€" 'ation, but ltlhe military value of the Red lCnoss and the .Patriotic funds can easily be proved Every branch of the Red :Cross, and every office of the 'Patriotic Fund is «an effective recruiting poster. The latter announces to tih'se soldier that his dependents xvi-11 be looked «after, the former, that he himself, 'fif wounded or such. will notj-be abandoned. ' Nothing can 'égive such an im- petus to recruiting as the sight. of an active .Red 'Cross organization generously supported by the pub- lic. Nothing can ”dampen the ard- or of a prospective recruit so muchas the thought of the ingrat- itude of an indifferent nation.
