NEW BRITAIN CHATTER.

An appeal is being made by the To- cal branch of the Red Cross for very small games and playing cards to be put in kits and sent to soldiers. These games and cards are to occupy the at tention of the fighting men while not in actual battle, and the movement to secure these has been started in sev- cral cities. Anyone having cards and games which they are willing to give for this purpose are asked to bring them or send them to the headquar- ters on Court street.
 More workers are needed to sew refugee garments. It is also neces- sary for more women to knit socks to finish up the allotment. In the past it has been the rule that yarn is to be given out only on certain days, but to hurry up the completion of New Britain's allotment, il the future yarn may be had at any time by applica- ton to the headquarters on Court street.
 The Red Cross war council author izes this, the fourth installment of the war councils report to the American people concerning the use already made and now being made of the Red Cross war fund:
 American Red Cross expenditures in France for work done among the civilian population since the war be- gan, together with appropriations for the supply, transportation, WOmen' s hosital service and other bureaus will amount to more than s7O,000,000. Expenditures in France up to July 1, 1918, totaled $36,613,682.73, of which $21, ,16O, ,632.66 was apportioned

viii the Germans Go On? It's About $3.50,
Says English Writer Who is In Close Touch

Germans nothing on the balance to
draw encouragement from.
The Better Man.
Before the big crater was blown by
the British on the Somme on July 1,
1916, and the subsequent terrific
fighting, Brtains new soldiers did not
have any definite feeling of superior
ity to the Germans. Indeed, they
thought their comparative inexperienc
in war might give the enemy fatal
advantage over them But after this
fighting every Tommy considered
himself equal to at least two Germans.
There was no boasting about IT, ne
actually believed 1t in his heart. Not
a single later development has tended
to change Tommys mind. Tommy is
fed up with the war; he is a rational
beingl He yearns to have the whole
muddy, bloody business over, and
start forgetting it--though he knows
he can not hope to live half long
enough to forget it. But his moral
this is every whit as good as at any
time since the war began. Who can
say as much Of the German moral?

formidable than ever, but Fritz with
the bomb, the machine gun, and the
bayonet is not the man he was. If the
