Many illustrations of th value of
Home Serriee in the training camps
of this country were given by the
Field Directors, and the duties of the
men in . charge of this branch of the
work outlined.
Henry S. Thompson, national dlreo
tor of the Bureau of Camp Service,.
spoke on the duties of the military
field directors in the camps and their
relation td the Home Service Directors
in the same camps.
The building of the Red Cross
houses, in 40 army camps in this coun
try was then talken up by Charles EL
Fox, assistant director of Camp Ser
vice in charge of construction, and the
purpose of these houses was explain
-ed to the Field Directors and assist
ants who were present. Quarters and
a place of amusement will be provided
in theses houses for convalescent sol
diers who are weDenough to leave the
hospitals and yet not well enough to
return to active duty, as Well as ac
commodations for the families ot men
who are ill enough to. make it neces
sary to send for their relatives. It Is
being planned that a large part of the
furniture for these houses shall be
made by the older boys in tne
Junior Red Cross auxiliaries.
The construction in the camps
of the Southern Division wiU be su
pervised by John R. Dillon of Atlanta,
of the firm of Morgan & Dillon, archi
tects, who has volunteered his ser
vices to the Southern division for any
sort of architectural work.
Men trained in work 'similar to that
of the Home Service departments are
wanted at once for work in the camps
and on the transports. All applications
in this division should be made to
