Greek army in Asia Minor, according
to DR.. Barton w. Brush, Of Elmhurst,
l.. l., who has just returned from

"All the lett over war supplies for
which the European countries had no
further use after 1918 seem to have

three years, and that is all the Greek
army has to fight with Bursh de

soldiers are paying for it, There are
no hospitals, no hospital equipment
no ambulances worth the name, and
the wounded have little chance ok

Near East Relief can give them"
