London, Jan. 10.--Representativ es
Of British labor issued a manifesto
yesterday giving whole-hearted sup

The manifesto considers that
President Wilson's declaration in

utterances of allied craftsmanship
during the war, and in the detailed

The manifesto, which is signed by
Arthur Henderson and Charles Will

In connection with the casualties
among the American expeditionary
forces in the Marne-Aisne offensive, 1t
should be stated, upon the basis of
the officially attested experience of
our associates during four years of
this war, that of wounded soldiers
sent to hospitals for treatment fewer
than one in twenty die.
OF all the soldiers sent to the hos
pitfalls only forty-five in every thou
sand die. These include those who
die of wounds. OF all soldiers wound
ed in action more than four-fifths re-

than two months. 1t is necessary to

Crosses.

BY WILLIAM E. THOMAS.
Each life must have it's crosses,
And a soldier gets his share;
From a trip across the ocean
To the tnvfed Croix de Guerre.
There are crosses by the censor
Far too many, SO it seems;
There are crosses in the letters
From the grille of his dreams.
There's cross that's worn by heroes,
Who have faced a storm Of lead;
There's a cross when he is wounded.
There's a cross when he is dead,
There's an iron cross awarded
For murder and for rape;
It's the emblem of the devil.
It's the cross Of sin and hate.
There's the little cross Of mercy
That very few may own;
For the soldier it is second
To the cross of God alone.
Ats cross that's worn by women;
When we see 1t we believe
We can recognize an angel
By the Red Cross on her sleeve.
