sumptive germs. We have a hospital of 30 beds for children in Evian. These are reserved for the children who are too i'll to take farther. Then our Red Cross has cOnvalescent hospital out side the town and yet another in a nearby village. It also keeps six am- balances busy transporting sick wOm- en and children. Yet even then the strain upon our workers is so great that for eight long months one Ameri- can nurse has had to look after 120 beds.
 We, through our American Red Cross, are doing great things toward defeating the Kaiser in his efforts to turn France into a graveyard. but we have just started, and our duty de- mands that we work fast and without ceasing.

Billy Jones
 By WRIGHT A. PATTERcON.

Billy JOnes-maybe your son or the son of a neighbOT-was in the front line trenches in France when the Ger man bombing party was driven back. His enthusiasm to get the BOches car ried him over the top of the trench, and at the edge of No Mans Land a Hun bullet got him.
 A cOmrade-maybe your bOy-crawl- ed out into No Mans Land and brought Billy Jones back to the American trenches.
 Other comrades carried him back through the maze of trenches to a dressing station, where his wound was cared for
 A medical department ambulance carried hin on to the field hospital
 From there Billy Jones was taken to the base hospital, and there a Red Cross nUrse-yOur Red Cross nurse is tenderly, carefully, smilingly nursing him back to health again so that he may not have to pay the extreme sac rifice that we-that you and 1 and our neighborS-may enjoy the blessings of freedom.
 There are half a million of these boys of ours in France today and more going lover there" every week. They are there to wage the supreme conflict of the world with the brutal forces of autOcracy that democracy, G',r heritage, may not perish.
 We want these boys of ours to come lack to us, and it is the Red Cross men wOmen-whO will bring thousands of lnem back who would not otherwise come if our dollars will but keep them there to minister to these boys of ours. They are but doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves.

At the first onslaught of the Huns, before the French were able to with stand their invasion, the Kaiser se- cured a gOOdly section of France. With the captured cities and villages he acquired many thousands of French men.
 True to all the rules of TeutOnic efficiency, the noble German worked and starved these French close to the point of death. then saw to it that an impressive number of them caught tuberculosis and finally sent these poor wrecks back to burden France
 It has taken the Kaiser from two to three years to suck the healthy blood from the veins of these sturdy rural French, but now he Is sending them back at the rate of about 1000 a day. The Kaiser never announces these
