and wounds. Ten Of these were wom-

fire and the others in a German air

There were also So non-fatal cas-
ualties. These were due principally
to machine gun fire. shell fire, and mo
tor transport accidents. Numerous
cases of slight wounds and gassings
which were attended at dressing sta
tions, but were not reported to head
quarters, are not included.
These casualties occurred In force
which at no time exceeded 1900 work
ers, Of whom it is reckoned that more
than one-half were never sent to the
front, being employed In the hundreds

Sixty-three "Y" workers were deco

rations. OF these. three received the
Distinguished Service Cross, three
the Order Of st. Stanislaus, five the
Italian Cavaliere del Corona, 3S the

ceived honorable mention in dis
patches. Several units We're cited in
their entirety, those serving with the
Third division being cited twice. More
than score more reported decorations
have not yet been confirmed.
Not one of these men under thirty
was fit for military duty, but the cita-
tions show that they carried on with
the same courage and spirit that iden-
tilted Americans throughout the war.
These records show that they went
over the top with the assaulting
waves, that they exposed themselves
under machine gun and shell fire to
minister to the wounded, that they
worked indefatigably as stretcher
bearers, and that they drove ambu-
lances into the midst of battle to res
cue the wounded.

used as a small ranch by Codding-
