Virgil Salmon Has
Praise For Red Cross

Virgil Salmon is at the front in
France and is seeing things as they are,
besides getting in the way of German
shrapnel, causing few weeks detention
in a Red Cross hospital. He writes his
parents Mr.. and Mrs. B. f. Salmon of
469 North 18th street in part as fol-
lows:
"Mother, you can well feel proud
of belonging to the Red Cross. II it
wasn't for the Red Cross workers and
their untiring devotion and care for us.
/ don't know what some Of us would
do.
''Say, talk about the Red Cross
workers. They sure are fine. Almost
as soon as shell was seen to drop on
our position, they were there at once
and we were Immediately taken to a
base hospital near the city of Tours on
an American made and American owned
train, with electric lights and fans. The
cars were fine compared to those ] have
seen here which remind me of the old
time Salem street cars.
~ am still in a hospital near the
town of Tours but you need not worry
as ! will be out in few days. / want
to 90 back to the front now but the
doctors won t let me.
81 cannot tell you on account of the
censor just where was fighting when
/ failed to dodge a shell. / am anxious
to get back as l want revenge ON the
Huns.
'It seems almost too good to be true
the pleasure of jumping from the dirt
and mud of the trenches to beds with
clean good springs and to be placed
between nice clean sheets. One charm,
ing feature of the hospital is the eff.
eient corps of American nurses who
sure understand the art of caring for
the wounded. And then their Language
is so different to that heard here and
that means so much to us boys in the
hospital.
After recovering in the hospital, he
writes again under date Of Sept. g. as
follows:
81 am on my way back to my regi
ment. | left the hospital two days ago
and am feeling fine. have Prussian
guard officers helmet which / will
send you. 1t is fine for looks but not

In addition to this amount, there is to

during this last drive to not announce

audited. Hence the announcement OF
the amount pledged is generally one

announce that it is over the top or will
be by Saturday night. 1t has been
found by actual experience that much
territory could be worked over again
with good results and also that in some
districts where the workers have not
responded to the call, the territory had
not been thoroughly covered. There is
still the conviction at headquarters that
if the team members would cover as
signed territory carefully, Salem s quo

General Steiner mailed the following
letter yesterday to the captains:
