advance was a warn fight, and the
Hun got enough land in which to
bury his dead. Won a good ceme-
terry. The line will never give way.
1t may bend, but never break as long
as there is a man left standing. Their
courage will never break. don't

OF the barbaric gas fighting he
said that 1t was first used by the Hun,
as was also the liquid fire. Gas is
now more often sent over in 5-gallon
lots in gas shells, which on bursting
is distributed about. Alarms of
Klaxon automobile horns sound al
most continuously round about. He
illustrated the use of the gas helmet,
which he wore slung in front of his
body.
He returned to the subject of the
Red Cross. Every dollar given to
that organization is invested toward
the help of a soldier or suffering civ
ilian. No army, surgical or hospital
organization can reach those whom
the Red Cross can treat. They had
great supplies of anaesthetics and
dressings. The French army hos
pitfalls were at one time using sawdusi
in wounds, bound with newspapers
The Red Cross has kept from closing
numerous great hospitals. They fore
stalled disastrous results of Hun pro
paganda in Italy with their material
service, when the Italians believed
that the United States was helping
them only to exploit them after the
war.
One of the boys dropped the gre.

DIR. Heston was then called upol
