 sud these are sick and wounded. A man, who has been injured by an ac- cidentat discharge of . rife or hand 8renades Is classified as wounded. ln order to be considered wounded man has to be hit or injured by a bullet or piece of shell from Ger man gun. The ambulance cases are classified as "sitters" or ners Stretcfer cases are called 1fers" anu a motor ambulance will carry four or these while it will accommodate SIX to eight ..sitters." Casualties back or the line are caused by shell fire: When shell fire is started the most or tnese occur because the people or soldiers have not had time to get into their cellars and shell proofs. After the bombardment is over they return to the lines again.
 In telling of the intelligence depart
 nent Dr. Faulkner said he had as his patient brother cf 8 man that worked in the census bureau and he told him of the many and varied ways that spys are caught by tracing mail. Tn one case a postal card had cipher written on the edge and when it was traced through the mails the man that received 1t was found to be supplying gasoline to submarine in the English channel. The department also advised the people one night to be on the watch for German air craft but they did not appear. The next day similar warning was posted and late that night number of English air craft were driven over the town. The result of the supposed raid was that a number of German spies were captured as they signaled from vari- ous roofs.
 In regard to the present crisis Dr. Faulkner said that the submarine was big question but the allies would meet 1t as 1t was not half the crisis that ther allies faced in 1915 when their supply of shells ran short. Tn regard to the Russian situation he stated that if the people were given time. to work out their own salvation everything, would turn out all right. The people of this country must real ize that the question Is serious one and Dr. Faulkner expressed the belief that the war might last from three to i've years longer. The only pre-. ventative would be internal trouble in Germany and this was hardly possible as the people believe all that the ofil- cers say and the government has .'got the people where they want them'' To show the truth of this Dr. Fau1k- nor told of German prisoners who told him that London had been cleaned of the map and that he would never be able to reach America again as the submarines had stopped all ocean travel. Rev. Cooks Talk.
 E9SS~~ TN . the church, gave a short address to the members of the c. A. R. and in his opening words caused surprise and anger. The anger, however, was not directed at MT. Cook but at a story he told of a citizen in New Britain coming to him and telling him of a family that had the American flag on the kitchen floor and were walking all over 1t. The man had been in- formed by his little daughter and had investigated and found it to be true. When he reported to the police they said that they could do nothing as 1t was inside.
 Mr. Cook said that itrwas love for human liberty and what the flag stood for that we were in the war and this country must get behind the cause and beat the enemy. He wished that l l. were possible to tell of experiences gone through and of something that
 he had done to help the cause. Speak. ing to the veterans. MT. Cook stated
 that they had born the brunt of the
 struggle of '61, and had been willinf
 to make the sacrifice in order tha
 the honor of the country might b,
 upheld. The people owe the men {
 great debt and it Is impossible to ex
 press in words to what extent we ar,
 indebted to them.
 What would it mean today if thi
 country were divided rather thai
 united 2" said MT. Cook. We woul,
 not be able to enter the present strug
 gle with the proper might and force
 We must make the same sacrifice fo
 freedom of men as was done before
 regardless of whether they. are whit
 or black. The men of the Gran
 Army sacrificed their health and live
 and the same honor is due those tha
 are living as Is paid to those who's ] graves we decprate. How can we pa the debt? We cannot expect 1t bu we are all grateful for the sacriflc made and the tasks that were ac complished. Those that went to tn
 Spantsh-American war and othe wars of this country have also earne , the gratitude of the people.
 } The people honor you and ar } teaching the boys and girls to rever the name of the veterans of the Civ } and other wars. The country wi } continue to do so by deeds as we'll a r words. In order to do the thing rigi : sacrifice has got to be made. In ol , der to make thls war shorter, W ! should prepare for long war. Tn l country would fight for the liberti.
