ton Of the executive committee Of the
local branch were two big items ~

tions from people who insisted on Civ

have never addressed a suffrage
league before so hardly know how to
begin-but I am sure that you will be
interested in the wanderings of one
of your tobacco kits. The other day it
fell into our hands, at the Bureau of
Refugees, of the Red Cross, to be given
to some American soldier in the hos
pitfalls here.
Fortunately the few American
wounded in Lyon are very well cared
for, so we put the box in the desk and
forgot about it until this afternoon
when we heard Of an especial case, an
English soldier, alone in his language
in the hospital, nearly blind and wait
ing for an operation to be made on a
wound on his jaw.
He was one of those rare cases that
seem to have been forgotten because
know one knew that he was there. He
is about 45 years old and has wife
and five children He halls from
northern England and is member of
one of the regiments which has been
/ IL the war since the beginning.
He was wounded in the March often
sive, was hit by shrapnel and when
found, all his clothess were gone and
there was nothing to tell even his ma
tionality.
When he regained consciousness he
found himself done up in a blanket
in cellar with the inmates of an old
ladies home. No one knows how he
got there.
He had the choice Of going to an
English Hospital or coming here, but
chose this as it is the most famous hos
pital for face wounds in this part of
the country.
wish that could make you realize
how much good those packages of
Sweet Caps did for him and how he
loved to handel them. American to-
baeco is always eagerly sought for
here but I am sure that none was ever
more gratefully received"

Salaried employees have suffered
more from increased living costs than
wage workers, for the demand for
manual labor created by the war has
had the effect of boosting pay very
considerably. The men on fixed sala-

many places their only opportunity to
get more compensation to meet the

Criticism Of Order.
Some comment has been heard ovsr
the fact that the theatres, poolrooms.
