A TOMMY AND A YANK.
■ o——
Englishman Sacrifices His Blankets
to Keep American Warm.
----- o-----
“Yank, I’m only 26, but I'm an old
man,” said an English Tommy just
before we turned into our sleeping
rolls on the coldest night that I had
experienced. And this awful cough,
tne result of being gassed early in
the war, when they had no masks, ai­
ded fatal testimony to his statement.
All night long he coughed. About
midnight I awoke, shivering, From
his coughing I knew that he was
awake. I said: “Tommy, I never was
so cold in all my life," and then in a
few minutes I was asleep again.
An hour later 1 was again awaken­
ed by his violent coughing. To my
surprise I seemed to be warm and
wondered if the wind had suddenly
changed,
but from its constant
whistling 1 knew it had not. I reach­
ed out and felt two extra blankets
on me. I suspected whence they had
come by that violent coughing.
1 got up and carried them back to
where he lay saying: “Tommy, did
you put these blankets on me?" He
replied: “Yes, Yank, you said you
were cold.”
"But what about you?”
"Oh me? I’m used to It."
"Well, all I got to say is thank you
but if you ever do that trick again
Til throw you out of that window
in the snow and let you freeze to
death.” And tnen I put them back on
his shivering gassed body.
On a Ten Mile Front.
Assuming there was 10,000 men
massed on a mere 10-mile front, the
rifles and machine guns would ap­
proximate a cost of $1,600,000. In
the first 24 hours according to of­
ficial estimates they should fire
13,000,000 shots costing $650,000.
Behind the infantry should be a row
of 3-inch guns, 1000 of them costing
$3000 each; a second line of 6-lnch
guns costing $20,000 each, and a
third line of 250 10 or 12 inch cost­
ing about $60,000 apiece, Cost of I
artillery would be $24,000,000. It I
would cost nearly $18,000,000 to
feed these guns just one day and a
night. Artillery and small arms cosv
approximately $35,600,000 to run
them 24 hours, There may also be the
i
giant 16-inch guns which, when
mounted, cost $525,000 and whose
shell costs $1000. An attacking col­
umn should be, but is not always ac­
companied by great numbers of 37s
—baby cannon—costing $1500 each.
Laying these and the food and cloth­
ing and pay of the men aside, that
battle represents $53,000,000. The
total front is 50 times as long.

Did one of these 200
letters come to you?
DUSTY courier slid off hr? motor-cycle at the big double hut
in a French town and tramped up to the canteen.
“Grot a note for the secretary from my commanding officer,”
he said. He handed a piece of paper across the counter to a smiling
middle-aged man.
This is the note the Secretary read:
A
We landed here three days ago—miles from anywhere.
Can you send us sortie supplies, especially writing
paper? 'This is the first chance the boys have had
to write home and we have no paper to give them.
The older man looked up and grinned.
“ Got you away off in the woods, have they ? ”
“I’ll say they have!”
“Can you carry anything?”
“All you’ll give me!”
From the shelves the secretary took big packages of paper and
envelopes.
“Too much?” He asked.
“It will be gone ten minutes after I get back! ” said the boy.
“Tonight,” the secretary went on, ‘Til drive out a truck
with more supplies and a man to stay with you. And tell the boys
that if their letters are finished, I’ll bring them back with me tonight,
and get them into the mails.”
An hour later that motor-cyclist whizzed into camp, loaded
down with writing paper, and in ten minutes letters were being
written to 200 American homes.
The United War Work organizations know what letters mean
to American soldiers. They know that fighters want to get letters
and want to write letters.
So in every hut and on every ship your boys find writing paper,
envelopes, ink, pens and pencils, and tables where they can get off by
themselves and tell the folks back home how things are going.
Millions of sheets are given away free every week to American
boys overseas. That is why the letters you get from your boy are
written on the stationery of one of these organizations. It is one of
