 Some eighteen thousand men have already volunteered for the British and Canadian armies since the Mis- sion began it's work in the last week of June, 1917.

A close-range snap shot of a group of them even when they are ready to go to the, front line trenches shows any number of smiling faces. They say that the Germans do not stick out to the bitter end nowadays as they did earlier in the war, and many of them seem not at all averse to yelling "Kamerad!" upon slight provocation and holding up their hands in sur render.

together in conference this morning
at 10 o'clock, to discuss the prob
lem of how to handle the many new
surgical dressings classes which 1t is
felt confident will be formed in an
swer to this call. 1t is probable that
number ~ the auxiliaries can ar
range to care for more surgical
dressings classes at their various
meeting places.
Besides the kinds Of dressings that
have so far been made, a number of
new ones are being added and the
supervisors all over the Northern
division territory are now being in
structed in the making of the latter.
