tned to ships and submarines alone.
1t is directed upon Frances noncom-
batants, he said. During the first
two years of the war, the old men
who were unable to take part in the

starved.
DR.. Fitch held the interest of
every one in the big audience. as he
described conditions in France, and
then told of the actual fighting and
OF the work the American Cross is
doing to relieve the sufferings of the
wounded soldier and to appease the
munger of the starving children. First

women who brave death in the

their lives helping fallen comrades.
