HARDSHIPS OF
OUR SOLDIERS
RUMS. Oct., 11*-— The American
Red Cros lias just taken steps to o\
ercome one o» tin* greatest hardships
suffeml by the American soldiers dm
-ine a hattl". Many men in the course
of an action receive slight wounds
which render them incapable of cor
tinning in the ranks and they are at
once sent to the nearest dressing stat
ion on foot if they are able to walk.
Kverything on a modern battlefield
is generally turned into an unrecog
nisable heap by the terrific artillery ,
fire which nrei’c'di's an assault and tin
wounded, whose neiwous systems arc
rapidly sapped by pain and loss of
blood, hav- difficulty in finding their
way back over the ground they have
stormed.
To allocate the sufferings of tin*
wounded hoys, the American Red
Cro-s is furnishing thousands of >m;i'
signs made of white cloth with a large
red cross at one end and a ml arrow
at the oM'»u* to indicate the direction I
which the wounded must take. These
signs are to he fixed to trees, hushes i
