assistant to Gen. Rankin as much

those who didn't l.Ke the army
policy could give blood if they
wanted to or they could go to hell
Hr was a Col. Carter, and he said.
With reference to t|je possibility

We are getting ample blood. We
base never failed to come up with
rir Quota of blood we have needed
]» .« not a question of being des

Of course, the war is going very
in Europe now. and it makes
some people pretty cocky. For the
sake of the lives of the men in
volved. I hope we don't have any
severe reverses, not even tem
porary ones, and find ourselves
faced with ever increasing casualty

more blood than now satisfies Gen
Rankin and Col. Carter.
