"We -cut down the Germans as a harvester cuts down wheat." said a wounded Lieutenant back from Las- signy. "We went on cutting them down until we emptied our cartridge boxes. Then our Dragoons, on their mounts, came right up to the firing line and brought us more cartridges." A corporal, terribly burned by gas, but not at all downcaet, said: "Yes. they fixed me up this way, but that does not matter. I am re venged. It Is almost incredible, the way they fell In groups. In companies. I shall survive my burns, but the thousands and hundreds of thousands of Germans whom I saw fall never will be seen again." Captain VidaU of tha British army medical corps, said, after visiting a hospital In which were men who had been brought In from the Olse front, that the wounded with whom he talked were fully convinced the German losses had amounted to 600.000. Or all the great numbers of wounded he had seen during the war. he added, those now coming bsck from the front were In the highest spirits. They were almost Joyful, notwithstanding their woonds. he said, because of their faith in the approach of decisive victory. other states have been lagging behind. The Northwest has done more than Its proportionate share, as shown by the fact that Oregon stands sixth, Washington eighth and Idaho 19th on the list of states, rated according to their relative contribution to the medi cal corps of the Army.

April "- The accounts of carnage In the German ranks which has been wrought by the fire of the allies, as given in the official com munications and by correspondents at ten in France by Adjutant K. C. Sta bard, who has charge of a Salvation Army hut. to Commander Eva Booth, who turned it over to Adjutant Agnew. "I visited a base hospital recently," says the letter, "and had this story from a sergeant who had passed through one of tbe raids. The ser geant was horribly wounded by a gre nade and was passed by the Germans as dead. Before the sergeant lost con sciousness, however, he saw a dozen Germans overpower three American boys and cut their throats from ear to ear. The sergeant said the murder of the third American was the most hor rible. Four Germans held him while a fifth fairly severed his head from his body. "I have just learned," continues the letter, "that this same company of Americans passed through here today with .their bayonets sharpened like razors, sworn to avenge this awful crime against their comrades. What can you say to men bound on such an errand except bid them strike with all their might because of the righteous ness of our cause and the devillshness of the enemy?"
