1t is known that the American gun

dugouts and so badly damaged the
first line positions that at one point
the Germans are unable to occupy
them
When the bonn mbardment had reach

suddenly concentrated their fire at
two points, throwing about $50 shells
into town in which the headquar-

The American artillery has injected

In this instance the American artii-

mixture of gas shells. At the same

The foregoing appropriations are

tered the war until April 30, 1918. For
the United States the Red Cross has
appropriated $2,612,532.60 and the rea.
son this sum is not larger is because
the government provides nearly ev-
erything our army and navy needs,
and besides, there is no civilian dis

BILE proportions.
The great variety OF the military
and civilian relief work being done
by the Red Cross is indicated briefly
In the following list: Canteens that
afford food, baths and sleeping quar-.
ters for men at the front; rest sta
tions and recreation centers for. sol.

furnishing supplies in 1000 hospitals;

scattered by the war; farms for con

clothing. medicine, and shelter for the
homeless and destitute; and other ac'
tivities too numerous to mention.
It is stated by the national war
council that all salaries and admins
trative expenses are paid out of mem
bership dues, SO that every penny
given to the Red Cross war fund has
been spent for relief. This answers
the rumors that have been circulated
about the expenses of operation.

Gen. Pership was told that supe-
rior mask would soon be manufac-
tured. He was asked to return the
masks then on hand, for training pur-
poses here. Gen. Pershing procured
from British sources sufficient masks
to completely equip his forces, pend
ing the arrival of the newly devised
model.
British lndorse New Models.
The perfected masks now being
shipped to Gen. Pershing have not
been commented upon by him as yet,
nor has there been time for an actual
test of these masks In battle. How
ever, after exhaustive tests made in
this country, British experts have tes-
titled that the masks give better pro-
lection than any now being used by
the allied troops.
The returned masks, which are now
being used solely for training soldiers
in this country, will not withstand
the heavy concentration used in actual
gas attacks in Europe, but they, afford
perfect protection against the gas
clouds used in training in this coun-
try. Being OF the same general type.
