Thursday that government

Here Is Real SOS
Can Help?

There is a wounded soldier up at
Camp Lockett who really is in trou-
BILE and perhaps someone has the
answer and doesn't know what to
do with it. He is a convaleScent
there after meeting the enemy. He
IS on the road to complete recovery
but this recovery is hampered be-
cause of his worry over having lost
papers that are vital to his future.
In some manner he lost large
manila envelope. 1t was sealed with
official red wax and bore the ad-
dress Commanding Officer, Camp
Lockett.' In that envelope are pap
ers any man in the service must
have about him. Without them he
just can't get along. This soldier
can't even draw his pay. And his
spending money has run out. He
has appealed to the Red Cross Field
Directors office and that office in
turn has asked RR'S help. And so
RR speeds the appeal-if anyone
has found the envelope and is con-
fused as to what to do, will you

d. Eisenhower, reiterating his be-
lief that Germany can and will be
defeated before years end, declared
Thursday that the German armies
