them, from causing more casualties.
Second Raid Follows Quickly.
The attacks were made within ten min
utes of each other and were directed at a
certain wood. Seventy-five eight-inch
shells Of so per cent gas and twenty high
explosive e. shells were fired oy the Ger

with the earth. Large fragments of shells
flew from both missiles.
The gas caught some Of the men before

overcame others while they were asleep

The American artillery Monday re-

of the fire. did no damage and wounded
only one man.
Hear Cries for Help.
The Americans began by shelling

stroyed. They also effectively shot up
large working party in dugout,
from which cries for help were heard.
The enemy today concentrated his fire
on a certain town within the American
lines.
The weather cleared today and there
was much aerial activity. Several
fights in the air occurred over and be-
hind the American line, and in addition
the American anti-aircraft guns were
firing all day long. Enemy planes at

THE HEALTH OF OUR SOLDIERS

Relatives everybody Mothers, ia
theirs, brothers, sisters, cousins.
friends, lovers, countrymen-are in
terested in knowing the care that is
being taken to guard the health of
our men in the army, both at home
and abroad
To meet all demands for medical
care in the army it is noted that,
since the war began the surgeon gen
erals Office has expanded tenfold
and with no disturbance of the eff
cheney of the operation. The study is
TO increase its efficiency. Among a
million and eight hundred thousand
men a certain number of deaths from
natural causes will inevitably occur.
In peace times we had seven or
eight army hospitals. Now we have
sixty-three, of which a little more
than half are called base hospitals
with one-thousand beds each, and
some of these will soon double their
capacity.
The inspection of food at posts and
environments to improve mess condi-
tions, insure economy, and suit the
army ration to the varying diet re-
CURED by different climatic condi-
tions, show one of the many impor-
tant tasks of the service in the de-
partment of the surgeon general
Everything touching, the health OF
the soldiers is supervised, we are
told, from mosquito prevention,
drainage, ventilation, and the control
of epidemic diseases, to the collation.
and coordination of statistical rec
ords of the sick and wounded"
That the medical corps of our army
ia adapted to "every contemplated ex-
ransion Of the line" we are told by
competent authority, and when our
entire force is in the field, we are as
sured, 1t will be able to do at once
what the allied forces accomplished
"cnly after a long period of error In
this matter as in all other war re-
quirements, it is apparent that the
Allies have been able to put at our
disposal all the value of their three
years of war experience.
Reports from the western front in
France, according to direct informa-
tion, indicate clearly that our medi-
cal department in the field is fully
un to the mark" and that parents and
relatives of our soldiers may feel as
sured the surgeon general has done
all that is possible for their welfare"
