Clinging to their posts despite the constant menace from the air, a group of foreign and Chinese doctors and nurses are rendering heroic service to the wounded lying in hospitals in Soochow, Mrs, Elsie Lee Soong, member of the Chinese Women's Club, told a representative of the "North-China Daily News" on her return from the latter city.
While her visit was primarily to escort medical supplies to these hospitals, she investigated conditions whilst there. In view of the damage done to the railway zone, she could not help being impressed by the remarkable courage shown by the railway workers in the maintenance of the service.
There are six medical institutions in Soochow, according to Mrs, Soong. Of this number, two are maintained by foreign missions: the Southern Methodist and the Presbyterian. The others are the Soochow University Hospital, the Red Cross Hospital under the Y.M.C.A. the Military Hospital and Emergency Hospital.
