ANOTHER GOOD INVESTMENT.

We paid out some Red Cross money while back
Paid it out-and forgot it. That's how much it hurt
Might not be bad idea to have look at what that
money has been doing.
That money went, dollar for dollar where it did
a full days work. wherever it was
Three cents of it may have had the honor of dis
injecting with iodine the three torn wounds Of
American soldier on the French front. Or it may
have had the less noble responsibility Of pinning
warm flannel bellyband around siX-year-old Antoine
out back of NoyOn.
No use-we can't figure this Red Cross task in
cents worth.
There's the whole path of ruin from Belgium to
Switzerland just to visualize one thing at a time. If
your Red Cross money went there it very likely pro-
vided pots and pans, food and Clothes beds and blan
kets, for the repatriated people.
Three years ago these people were prosperous
and contented selfrespecting steady, saving, hard
working, everyday, smal-town citizens
Now they have the "earth under them and the
sky over them"-nOt one thing else.
It's for you to say whether this great work Of
mercy shall stop.
The Red Cross is yours, just as our Army and
Navy are yours yours to support with the same fer
vor and loyalty that leads you to the bottom of your
purse for Liberty Bonds.
It's for your voice to say whether your Red Cross
shall fater now or sweep onward greater and more
helpful than ever before.
And it's your dollars that must answer

SAYS RED CROSS IS GODsEND.
Salt Laker in France. Who Did Not
Have Clothes or Shoes Off for Nine
Days. Is Appreciatiye.

Hell has certainly broke loose"
writes John A Groesbeck, who left
Salt Lake last fall to join the American
field ambulance service in France and
who is now driving a gasoline supply
truck a few miles back of the fighting
lines. says the Salt Lake Tribune
Everyone expected it however, and
no one is discouraged have just been
to the top of a high hill where I could
see the battle lines for a distance of
twenty miles Clouds of powder smoke
cbscured the vision more or less. but I
could discern the men and guns go
ing in and the ambulances bringing
back the wounded. 1t was a sight 1
shall never forget.
From March 80 to April 9 l have
not had my clothes or shoes off. We
have worked day and night to save the
wounded and the property of the Red
Cross No one expected the Hun to
break through and when they did there
was hell to pay.
"I was out OF - thirty minutes
ahead of the Boches. l turned the keys
of the warehouse over to the British
army and told them TO save what they
could I carried myself and 103 woun-
ded to safety in a four ton truck and
saved most of our supplies.
we were out Of six days
ahead of the Boches. saving 500 wOun-
ded and all our supplies. Nine trucks
were used on this job. One afternoon
l spent firing the big 155' guns. from
which l fired 103 shots.
Worked two nights in the operating
room of the hospital Operated on forty
men the first night and forty-two the
second. Operated on three wounded
Boches and took a button off each
mans coat. as we'll as a cap. the only
one they had.
II have been listening to the guns
and not a second of the day or night
has there been anything but a con-
stant roar 1t sounds like a continuous
roll of thunder There are hundreds
Of airplanes in the air all the time.
Il have had very little to eat all
week and no hot meals at all. The Red
/ Cross has stations all along the road
where hot coffee and chocolate are
served to the soldiers. refugees and
men passing along the road. They are

British Casualties Mount; Weekly Re
mort Gives 3S.69l.

British casualties reported during
the week ending Tuesday reached a
total of 1851. OF this number, 5000
officers and men We're killed or died
of wounds. and 32.136 were wounded
O. reported missing The casualties
were divided as follows:
Killed or died of wounds-Officers
4Q9; men. 6056.
Wounded or missing Officers 1888;
men. 3O,277.
British casualties reported during
April. starting with low figures in the
first week, began to mount rapidly
thereafter, so that the total for the
month reached 52.475. The returns
from the heavy fighting against the
German offensive in late March and
April are now apparently in full flow.
Figures for casualties reported for
separate weeks have not been made
available with anything like uniform
ity during the war, but it appears
probable that those reported during
the current week are the heaviest in
any single week of fighting. In the
DAYS of the SOmme battle of 1916
however, the losses reported in August
averaged 10000 per week. and an av-
erage of more than 25,OOO has beer
reached in several other months.

the total of Liberty Bonds for
