Army Hospitals, Some Of them have
gone through from 5 to 10 major
operations.
There are 5000 wounded boys at
IT. Sheridan, Ill, here In our own
Central Division. Some are legless,
some armiess, some blind, etc. etc.
They need bucking up. 3

Camp Grant, and 5000 sailors at the
Great Lakes. U. s. sailorS are scat
