Arrangement of Transferring Sick and Wounded to Various Hospitals. Ib may be of interest to t)he pub- lic, the London Press Bureau mes- sage suggests, to know how the sick and wounded of the Expedi- tionary Force are being received and distributed after their arrival in Great Britain. All the hospital ships proceed to Southampton, where there • is a epecial staff for the reception and distribution of the sick and wound- ed officers and men who are being see on them. The arrangements are under the control of a surgeon - general, nvh:o holds the appoint- ment of a Deputy Director of Medi- cal +Services, He has et his oom- mencl twelve ambulance trains spe- cially constructed for the convey- ance of four officers and ninety -sax 'erten lying down, or for a consader- ably ,greater muncher of patients sitting up. Twice weekly telegrams are ie- ceived by him from all the larger Military and Territorial Pores Gen: eral Hospitals, etating the number of beds vacant in each. With this • information before him, the ar- ranges convoys of sick and wound- ed on arrival and dispatches them ° to their destination in one•or more of the ambulance trains, Front Station in Rotors. • Already 'thio tsick and 'wounded from overseas have been 'comfort- -ably planed under treatment in most of the large Military or ho Terri- torial Force hospital centres. tit Terri- torial sp the railway'•sbabions of these locali- ties arrangements are made by the nrilibasy authorities for 'conveying sick and wounded in motor.oars or other ambulance vehicles from the railway .stations to. the hospitals. Voluntary Aid detachments have already done useful wordy. in ,connec- tion with this stage of the move. mettle of the sick and • wounded; eel, and it is expected that the scope for utilizing Voluntary Aid in.t9his direction will be extended as its value becomes (better known, Military 'Hospitals First.

Convalesce to Moines. When sink anrt,.!wounded are suf.: fiofently convalescent to be granted sick furlough, advantage is being taken of the many offers of accom- modation for them in convalescent homes in different parts of the country ; and, in order to prevent overlapping, and to facilitate the means of placing men on sick fur- lough, so far as possible, in their alien counties, a Central Registry of Convalescent Homes has been formed by a joint committee of the British Iced Cosa Society and the Soldiers' and (Sailors' Help .Society. This central registry acts as a clearing house. Only convelesoente, who would have been given siek furlough to their own homes, if they so desired, are being sent to convalescent hordes. Convalescents who require continued hospital treatment, will be sent either to the special hale in connection with the hospital from. which they are transferred (under the .super- vision of the medical officer of the hospital) or to one or other of the private hospitals already referred to. Choose the Country. In order to enable the convales- cent to be placed on sick furlough in a convaleeoent home, all that he has to do is to inform the medical officer who Is in charge of him where and what county or neighbor• -hood he would like to proceed to. These particulars are entered on a form and sent to the .Central Regis- try. The address• of the nearest railway station to the oonvaleseent drone in the neighborhood is enter- ed on the Lorin, and it is immediate- ly returned to the, medical officer of the hospital. Whenever the convalescent is ready to leaive on sick furlongh the medical officer wends word to the convalescent :lwane, stating the hour of the man's arrival at the railway station, where arrangements are made to meet and take him over. This arrangement has been working g very well, and .already over one hundred convalescents have been received in various oonvalesoent Homes, Kits Are Replenished. It may also he of interest to know that in all the hospitals ar- rangements aro made for replenish- ing any deficiencies in the men's kits and for giving 'them any' addi- tional clothing, which it may be de- sirable for them to take with them when they go on 'sick furlough. The hospitals are for this purpose, re- ceiving many generous gifts of py- jama suits and other articles of clothing: • At the end of their Isiok furlough the men are required to rejoin the depots of their regiments, in order bo be refitted, until arr.ange'rnents are made for their rejoining their units, either in Greab Britain or abroad. They are provided with railway'warranbs to enable them to go to. convalescent homes and to re- join their depots..
