Red Cross Doctors and

Tenacity of Mercy Corps to- their Posts of
Duty and Danger Described-"Would
Stay Till He'll Froze"

The story of the part America and
Americans played in aiding the
British and the French during the
early spring offensive of the Ger
mans on the Somme can never be
! adequately told. The whole picture
is too big 10 paint on one canvass.
1t is only by describing the work of
individuals and particular groups
of workers that some idea of the
American effort and its effectiveness
in this historic battle can be
brought home to the people back
home-and then only in a small way.
While it is perhaps only a very
small incident in the history of that
great affair. the story of how a
small band of American Red Cross
workers carried on at one of the
evacuation hospitals back of the
British front should make Ameri-
, cans proud. When all but a few of
the hospital staff had left with the
200 or more patients and the Ger
| mans were advancing only a few
miles away. four American army
surgeons. assigned to the American
Red Cross for work at this par
ticular hospital. declared their in
tentions OF sticking till H froze

| lance and truck drivers. as well as
several American Red Cross nurses
and aides stuck" with them.
Could Save Wounded.
The Americans made their decision
not because of sheer bravado, but be-
cause the hospital had the oppor-
tunity of serving a few wounded SOL
! diers from day to day-and could
save their lives And at this writing
these American are still there. Civ

When this had been accomplished

the surrounding country to pick up
the wounded, who were attempting
to walk to hospital, and to aid
the refugees struggling along the
road. Besides transporting these
two hundred or more wounded men
to places of safety, the Red Cross
cars aided 1S0 refugees to the rail-
heads in three days.

Just line after having received

all went through it OK. with no
fainting. We are OH now for thirty
six hours to recuperate. SO | am
spending my recuperating time in
sending a few letters to my old
friend, Berea, and home. This let
ter writing seems one-sided game
with me--all going out and none
coming in.
We five are doing splendidly in
consideration that many here have
had one or two years training al
ready. We have our uniforms and
rifles, and expect to go on sentry
duty before long. We also soon eX-
pect to go on the rifle range.

hope that while the boys are
Gghting, our mothers will pray for
their sons in the trenches, that
they may bring home a victory; and
when the day Of Judgment comes,
and the Lord plants angels on the
four corners of the earth; and Ga
bricl blows that mighty horn; and
it sounds so loud that 10 wakes the
dead, and the Lord steps out Of that
mighty tabernacle where the dome
is engraved with democracy; and
picks out the boys who have been
fighting for the right; and passes
them in; and takes the Kaiser and
his autocracy and throws them TO
the lowest pit in hell, and closes
the lid down forcver-then I'M come
back TO you.
