about the American Red Crosa
Gee! We'd n starved II 1t hadn't

and then. laughing 1T his own exagger-
alton, he went on to explain the cir.
cumstanccs under which the Red Cross
representative with his division had
done some timely service. The Ger.
mans. of course. were to blame, for
they retrented so rapidly that 1t was
practically Impossible for the supplies
to keep up with the pursuing .Amerl.
cans.

figure explained, "and they we're still

three days | had Ind nothing to eat
but hard tack, and for some days be.
