American soldiers drank 15,000

| a new canteen In England.

The Christmas "roll call” is not a
| call for money. It will he a summons
j to Americans everywhere to line up
for the American ideal.

Five million volunteer women work
ers of the lied Cross produced fin

J in the last year. Were you one of
that five million?

i There are in the ited Cross ware

States ample supplies of surgical
dressings to meet any contingency
that may arise.

Plans for the Christmas “roll call"
of the Red Cross, which intends en
rolling all adults in Cordova and vi
cinity, were perfected Monday even
ing. Mrs. George Lacy, vice chair
man of the local chapter, has named
Henry L. Slater chairman and George
Harmon treasurer.

With the lifting of the health ban
last week, the work rooms of the lo
! cal chapter were reopened to work
its. Every form of productive work
except surgical dressings must go on
for many months to come. The de
j mantis for hospital garments and ref
j ugee clothing are now more impera
I live than ever, and the Cordova
! women cannot afford to slacken their
! energy in this work

Even the loss of a leg can not dull
! the American soldier's sense of hu
j mor. Two returned heroes were try
ing out their artificial limbs in a Red
Cross convalescent house recently. A
kindly old gentleman congratulated
them on their progress.
"What are you boys going to do
I when you are discharged?" he asked
"Get a job in a big hotel mashing
j potatoes,'' replied one of the soldiers.

That the American Indians math
the best scouts has been provven it
I reports from "over there." When
ever a commander wanted informa
tion from the bodies he would sent
out an Indian, who invariably re
turned with it The Indian woult
reckon distance by hours. Beini
uskcil how far he went Into the Ger
man lines, he would say, "Three j
hours there, three hours back"
The Indian is credited with being
able to distinguish hoche camouflage
trees from local ones. The Germans j
moved sols of miniature trees to
conform with certain movements, the
movable trees concealing machine '
gun nests and observation posts Iiut j
they were unable to deceive him. !

S investigated solved the mystery.
Some of the soldiers wanted them to
shut out the agonizing blasts of an
jaceordeon.
