They all worked like dogs in that hell out there. They seemed to have but one idea—to do their duty—and apparently cared nothing for their own lives while doing it. They were game right to the core."
In this connection, it may be said that there are a certain number of men who wear the Red Cross whose names are on the casualty list. If anyone has thought that a Red Cross worker goes out on a battlefield only after the firing has ceased and brings in the wounded, this statement by a soldier will correct the wrong impression.
Stretcher-bearers work under fire—and the Germans have not hesitated to fire upon Red Cross workers.
The knowledge that the Red Cross workers will be at his side almost as quickly as he falls wounded, to take him to the first-aid station and subsequently to the hospitals, has given great comfort to the American troops.
High Prices in South America.
Appleton, Wis.—George Peotter, returned from a trip of several months in South America, brings with him consolation for victims of the high cost of living. "Soft coal, which is most generally used, sells for $26 a ton, and gasoline brings 60 cents a gallon," he said. "Tea, a light lunch, is served at 6 a.m. and again at 10 a.m. At 1 p.m. breakfast is eaten, then tea again at 4:30 and dinner at 7 p.m. Beef sells at 16 cents a pound and pork at 20 cents." Mr. Peotter covered Venezuela and the Galanas.
