HEROIC DEEDS OF THE
RED CROSS WORKERS
Reports Come in OF Bravery i'm Face
of Danger of Various American
Red Cross Units.

Paris. April S.-As the excitement
incident to the first few days of the
German offensive dies down, reports
come in OF the bravery in face OF
danger OF various workers in the
American Red Cross.
Women workers OF the Red Cross
who were aiding civilians in recon
struction and relief work at Vile
quier. near the River Somme. left
their posts Just two hours before the
Germans arrived in the town. With
their automobiles they aided in re-
moving the civilians and picking up
many wounded along the roads. The
women were the last civilians to
leave the town. just preceding the
French troops.
Another Red Cross unit, stationed
in hospital just back OF the lines,
was ordered to evacuate in two
hours. They left at O'Clock in the
morning and were chased for miles
by German aviator before reaching
a point OF safety. The next day the
unit went to a town near the fighting
line and established soup kitchens
tor the troops and first aid stations
for sick refugees and wounded
stragglers. The town was under
continuous she'll fire and the unit
answered calls at all hours to give
first aid to those wounded by the
enemy shells.
The unit then took charge OF the
operation ward in hospital, the

crops whatever had been moved over
the road during the past season, 1t was
now little more than an Oozy, sticky
rut. Not a roof, not a chimney was In
sight; the valley was deserted. Here
was fertile farming country-and yet
no living thing, no sound Of bells, no
voices, no growing cocks. no lowing
cattle. 1t was depressing to O'Reilly,
and more, for there was something
menacing and threatening about 1t oil.
Toward noon the breeze lessened
and 1t became insufferably hot. A
bank of clouds In the east promised a
cooling shower, so Johnnie sought the
nearest shade to wait for 1t, and took
advantage Of the delay to eat his slen-

ing n sweet potato when a sound at
his back caused him to leap to his feet
In alarm. He whirled, then uttered
an exclamation of amazement. Seated
not fifty feet away was bare-legged
boy, similarly engaged in eating a
sweet potato. 1t was Jacket. His
brown cheeks were distended, his
bright, inquisitive eyes were fixed upon
OReilly from beneath defiant scowl.
"JacketT cried the man. "What the
devil are you doing here?"
"You goin' to let me come alongT"
challenged the intruder.
"Sol You followed me, after said
1 didn't want your" O'Rellly spoke re-
proachfully; but reproaches had no
effect upon the lad. With a mild ex-
pletlve. jacket slgnified his contempt
for such weak form Of persuasion.
"See here, now." O'Reilly stepped
closer. Lets be sensible about this"
But Jacket scrambled to his feet and
retreated warily, stufing the nneaten
portion Of the sweet potato into his
mouth. 1t was plain that he had no
confidence In O'Reilly's intentions.
Muttering something in a muffled
voice, he armed himself with stout
stick.
