'<? the circumstances under which
Hie casualties occurred, through the
otflce of the Northwestern Division

for France In June. 1918, and was
assigned to to tho 91st Division as
Ked Cross searcher. Steadfastly re
fusing requests from the Ked Cross
i<> undertake important administra
tis tasks, he chose rather to remain
with the 91st Division and secure In
formation for the people of the

are not returning. In many Instances
Mr. Dyment will bo able to give ex
act Information as to where the cas
ualty occurred, what the man and
Ins unit wero endeavoring to do at
the time, details of tho casualty, cx
a<tly where the man is burled If he

Mr. Dyment Is bringing with him
from Franco detailed maps on which
he will be able to show exactly what

throughout the two offensives |?
which It participated whllo he wax
attached to It. Ho will ?|ho be able
m many cases by the uso of those
mops to show relatives of men who
were killed exactly where they are
burleij.

where American wounded had been
sent, was on duty In her ward, whon
* couple of French* nurses arrived
tn a somewhat excited state.
"Conto quickly! Tho American
boy in our ward has something the
matter with his leg. Every time we
move It he says something, and we
cannot understand."
When the nurse arrived at the bed
side of the American thero were a
couple of orderlies, several more
French nurses and a convalescent
patient or two trying to do some
I li i hi* to his leg, which wuh In u mat.
"What's the mutter with It?"

MILLIONS OF ARTICLES SENT
OVERSEAS BY N. W. DIVISION
Twenty-seven million finished ar
il leu weighing over four million
pound* and vulued conservatively at
$4,212,070, were .shipped by the De
partment of Supplies of tlilH Division
throiiKh the Seattle port warehouse
to France, Italy and Siberia, during
the jcar ending December 31, 1918.

Atlantic Heaboard and heavy ship
ments to Siberia via San Francisco,
but include lurge quantities of fln
t -lied articles from other western

were routed through the Northwest
ern Division.
The articles above mentioned were
eon tallied in 25,897 standard Ited
Cross packlg cases and occupied
2001,001) cubic fret of cargo space.
The handling of these Immense
shipments cost at Seattle for dray
age, lighterage und demurrage only
}:t,000. The freight alone to the

well over $100,000 had it not been
