London.-Nearly $4,000 Americans
are estimated to be fighting for the
allies, and nearly fouriifths Of these
are in the khaki-clad British army
commanded by Field Marshal Haig.
1t is computed that the actual fight

larger than the United States army
which was actually engaged in hos

Hundreds Of Americans have given
their lives for the allies, and hundreds
bear permanent scars, but each new

ments arriving from overseas brings

to take their places.
All have fought with a pluck and de-
