station, just in time to get the wound

considering the number Of men. The
'FritzieS' simply could not live under

hauled out offering very slight resist

We'll, we worked all day in the
dressing stations and at about dusk
pulled out for the next place further
on. We spent the night in a German
dugout and drank the apollinaris
water they kindly left for us, and
didn't get poisoned either.
THE next day we set up in a place
that had been q German 'sick-bay'
and was pretty we'll equipped. BY this
time we had acquired Il. German am
bulance with a pair of fine white
horses, and a motor ambulance. In
going up to this place we could see the
work of our Commandment. We also
crossed a field where quite a number
of our men had been killed by German
machine gun fire. I surely hated to
see them, but we must expect some
losses. Although this new place was
only about three hundred yards back
of our front line we had very few
patients.

for and he left before ] knew it. We
moved into a town and spent the
night; the other doctor was planning
to go on in the morning. I started off

they were there, they don't make holes

Today is the one hundred and
forty-first birthday anniversary of
the American flag. The date, June ID,
WI, has been accurately fixed by the
action of the Continental Congress as
recorded in the Journal of Congress.
That body was then sitting in Phila-
delphia, having moved over March 4
from little over two months sitting
in Baltimore.
The Stars and Stripes first appeared
floating over the headquarters of Gen
eral George Washington, on the
heights of Cambridge near Boston, on

Our Country promulgated his indi-
