Red Cross to Assist Sanitary
Work of Cantonment Areas
' Waaniagton, D. C., August 6. —
(Correspondence,) — Following its
fiolicy or caring for the health not
only ol the soldiers and sailors of
tliti United States, but as well that
of tne civil population, the Arneri
can Ked Cross has establshed a Bu
reau an Sanitary Service which jvill
supplement and assist Federal,
State, and local .health authorities
iu meeting sanitary emergencies
created by the war. The work
of the bureau will center in the
civiliaa areas surrounding army
cantonments.
While sanitary control of Na
tional Army Cantonments, National
Guard Camps, and Naval Bases will
be exercised by the military authori
ties, t.b« districts immediately ad
jojniug these camps will be under no
such jurisdiction. Yet the assem
bling rf large bodes of troops will
create new sanitary conditions.
These must be met to safeguard! the
health of civilians as well as of
soldiers.
The problem of milk supply, for
exanipie. will be greatly enlarged.
The tupply itself must be doubled
sometimes trebled, and .this means
iucreaesd fore eg for inspection. In
the Sou'hern states, where malaria
is a danger, the Red Cross lias al
ready undertaken efforts looking
I toward the extermination of mos
quitoes. They must be eliminated
not only in the camp proper, but
in the surrounding country. Clean
ing un pools and other breeding
• places w.thln a mile radius of camps
. will mean covering from fifteen to
sixty square miles.
Wits local health authorities are
' insufficiently equipped to meet
• these added problems, the Red
, Cross will offSr the assistance of
its bureau of sanitary service. It
will ta.*4» the field only upon invita
tion of the local organization in
charge ol sanitation. The Public
Health .Service JvlU act as the ad
vance agent, deciding n conjunction
Kith (ha local authorities what
measure# are necessary and how
much equipment it will take to
meet adequately the new conditions.
Whenever requested by State au
thorities, coupled with a recommen
dation «£ the Pubic Health Service,
the Red Cross will furnish any im
portant military area with a Sani
tary Unit. This will consist of
the required number of bacteriolo
gists, supervlsng and subordinate
sanitary inspectors, public health
nurses and assistants. The Red
Cross will be prepared to furnish
this ua'. with equipment and main
tenance including laboratory oqu'p
ment, transportation, and such sup
plies as disinfectants and screening
to enable the poor to carry out
the requisite sanitary precaution
in their homes.
W. H, Frost, surgeon of the Pub
lic Health Service has been assign
ed by the Surgean- General at the
request of the Red Cross War Coun
cil as director of the Bureau of
of Sanitary Service. Dr. Frost is
one ut the leader# of his profes
sion, and has had wide experieence
extending over thirteen years in
