US Army and Navy medical authorities
spare no expense to save life. Every skill
known to medical science is employed.
But even the highest medical authorities
admit that scientific skill alone cannot
completely restore the war wounded to
normal useful lives. For there are some
wounds that neither drugs nor surgery can
heal-the wounds that come from worry
and Loneliness from fear and dread of
facing the futurc-the wounds of missing
you and the folks back home And that is
where your Red Cross goes to work.
Wherever our fighting men go, the Red
Cross is with them-doing for them what
you would do if you were there. It's club
mobiles and rest homes are all over the
world. Its services reach the prison camps
and hospitals in every war zone. In in.
Vulnerable and vital ways the Red Cross
supplements the work of the medical
divisions in the feld-cooperating heart
and soul TO save lives! How much is
A life worth the life of some boy YOU
know? The answer is up to you NOW!

CHUNGKING, Oct. rs. -R)-
Successful Chinese counteroffen-
sives 81 miles north of Kweilin
and along the West river front 100
miles farther south were report
ed tonight by the high command.
The communique said Chinese
launched counterattacks against
JapaneSe forces IL miles south
west Of Hingan, 81 miles north of
Kweilin, Oct. 81 and had scored
"appreciable gains" The attacks
apparently were designed to smash
the enemy's threat to Kweilin
which Chinese military leaders
have promised to- make "China's
Stalingrad."
The Japanese last week drove
to point 18 miles west of Hin
gan in all attempt to outflank
Kweilin, former site of large y.
S. Air base, but the high command
said the invaders had been driven
back six miles by the counterat-
tacks.
The Chinese offensive in the
Kweiping and Pnignam areas has
checked an enemy drive on the
