Maj Grayson MP Murphy of the
Red Cross, Gen. Pershing and Gen.
Petain of France are working in uni

of families Of soldiers, the military
commanders believing that it will be
of the greatest benefit to both armies.
It should be kept in mind that every
soldier who is saved this winter means
the saving Of an American boy when
the big drive begins next spring. Some
American boy will have to take the
place of every Frenehman who Is
killed or who breaks down under the
strain.
"This particular relief work means,
therefore, that French soldiers will be

American lives will be conserved at
