Somewhere Along the British Front

field which merges into the fighting
line, are encamped many American
troops far removed from the rest OF
their compatriots who form the van

For military reasons 1t is impossi-
BILE to tell the world just where these
men are, who they are, or what they
are doing to further the interests Of
the entente allies cause, but it may be
said on authority to friends at home
that they are credit to the Stars

Some of them have been WORKING

number have been wounded, fact
whereof they are exceedingly proud.
