Wounded Soldier Tells ssA Red Cross Work on the Blo0dstained Battle
 fields of France
nv ETHEL GuLEN

Capt. George Frederick Campbell. R. F. C., author of "A Soldier of the Sky" who recently visited Birming- ham. where he appeared on the pro- gramme of the Redpath chautauqua, said: Tt was in field dressing station of the Red Cross that I found myself when regained consciousness Eight cen months had elapsed since the time first fell into hands of the Red Cross, after the battle of Neuve Chapelle, where a Hun bayonet ruth lessly penetrated my innards and shattered bone or two
 "To the wounded soldier the Red Cross stands in the composite relation of doctor and nurse father and moth- CT, sister, brother and sweetheart, with la whole flock of cousins and aunts thrown in for good measure. Once in the hands of the Red Cross, the sick Tor wounded Tommy or Sammy. or French 'poilu' loses all sense of lone Illness, feels quite at home and among friends
 Now that American soldiers in their turn are falling on the battle fields of blood-soaked France, every American at home can do little bit more to help the boys in the trenches by lib- eral and continued support of the American Red Cross."

GERMANS PREPARE | A AD|SAPPO|NTMENT Warning Given That Next Time' the Big Surprise
 Will Come

Amsterdam, June 6.-The Berlin vos- sische Zeitung's military correspondent, in an article on the offensive on the west ern front, says:
 Tt should be emphasized repeatedly, in view of exaggerated hopes, that a decision can be produced only compar- atively slowly.
 The foe is enabled to organize his re- sistance owing to his brilliantly con structed railway system, which has june tions and unloading stations at Com peigne and Villers CottereIs.
 The German supreme command can- not well proceed now against the newly consolidated French front, which is rich- ly provided with reserves, and bear the great losses which experience shows are entailed by such operations
 When the French brought up big re- serves, the exploitation of the surprise movement was to a certain extent end- ed. Presumably a certain change soon will occur in the entire system of bat tie operations. The battle can only pro- ceed slowly; decision cannot be pro- cured in a few days. We should, there- fore, arm ourselves anew with patience. The continuation of the big offensive will come at the right time and will again mean a surprise for our enemies

JUNIOR RED CROSS

This summer the junior Red Cross lis going to help both MT. Hoover and the Red Cross by producing food and, at the same time, earning money for
 the junior Red Cross. All over the lcountry junior Red Cross gardens are being worked by school children and Tthe produce sold.
 In order to avoid overlapping the
 junior Red Cross asks it's school auxil-
 iaries to cooperate with the most eff fective existing agricultural organiza-
 ton in their own community wherever
 possible, and under it's guidance to do Agricultural work for junior Red Cross. This organization may be boys
 or girls club of the department of ag- riculture, boys working reserve unit, the system of backyard gardens lof the bureau of education, or some
 kindred scheme.
 In some localities it will be found better to start an independent junior Red Cross garden the school lot tor grounds donated by some patriotic lcitizens. The pupils will form commit tees to study local market conditions,
 find out what is the taste of the com
 munfty, and what is the best way to
 market the produce. If they are in
 doubt about what to plant: beans,
 corn and tomatoes are always safe.
 But first expert farmers ought to be

 the first thing to plant in the junior
 Red Cross war garden is the United
