is hundreds, thousands, even tons of
tin cans. The rusty cans have been
tossed into the scanty vegetation of
the desert during many years and
the sands almost cover them. But
the women and children of the mining
communities of Arizona, seeking some
way to aid the Red Cross, learned
that the tin cans have value of
S14 a ton, and now all the women and
youngsters are searching the desert
for the cans and are finding them
in great numbers. Imperial Valley
would surely bring a fruitful harvest
to the Red Cross in a similar way.
There is no department of the Red
Cross work more important than that
of taking care of the salvage and the
women of the country are very proud
of the fact that the idea was con-
ceived by woman-Mrs. Otheman
Stevens of Los Angeles. She organ
lied a department there, and the idea
was taken up by the National Red
Cross, and today it is an established
department everywhere and has yield
ed a very large revenue for war re-
lief.

Camp Lewis, Tacoma, Wash, Dec.
19.-The latest regimental newspaper
to make its appearance is "Over the
Top" a weekly publication ISSUED
every Saturday by the officers and
men of the 363rd Infantry. Volume
/, Number l comprises four sheets
of six columns each filled with reg
imental news together with an i'm
pressive amount of advertising which
assures the success of the venture.
The editors aer Captain Thomas A
Driscoll, well known athlete and pole
player, who is in charge; D. A. May
Jould, manager, and A. J. Tormey
and Kendall K. Kay, well known
newspaper men, editors. Colonel H.
L. Cavanaugh, commanding, contrib
dtes the leading editorial which, il
part, reads as follows:
"The newspaper is the great con-
Meeting link of the universe, giving
to the community in which it is pub
lished news of the daily events which
directly or indirectly affect the life
of each individual. 1t gives its read
ers the opportunity to meet and talk
to great men of the world, to discuss
current events and plan commercial
activities. The newspaper is the
worlds greatest host, brining to-
gether and introducing billions. On
account of this power of making men
know each other, of grouping ideas
and thoughts, which means concen-
uation Of energy, Over the Top is
hereby dedicated as the regimental
newspaper Of the Three Hundred and
Sixtythir Infantry. This concentra-
tion Of thought and expression is
bound to insure that unity of action
which, when Old Glory is carried Ger
the trenches of Germany, will make
the Kaiser see the "Stars" and feel
The "SStripes" Of the man power of
me greatest nation Of Gods earth.
1T should vibrate with the spirit
# the regiment ard show to those in
civilian life the work being accom-
plished and the character and morale
Of the men making up the National
Army.
This press will be regimental
property, viii be carried with US
wherever the regiment goes and when
we get "oyer there" if conditions
permit, over the Top will bring
back across the Atlantic the spirit
and achievements Of the Three Hun
dred and Sixty-third."
The lead story on the first page
is written by Major Henry c. Breck-
enridge, who tells of the war aims Of
the "mad men Of Potsdam,' and de-
clares that the League of Hohen-
zollern and Hell must be destroyed,
becauseiaw is greater than anarchy,
because democracy is greater than
autccracy, because love is greater
