June 23, 1918 - Casualties mount

Mary left her job at the rifle plant yesterday after only four days.  Meanwhile, with peaking U.S. military involvement in the war in Europe, the newspapers increasingly are describing and shift in momentum in favor of the Allies, but casualties are also mounting.  This from the June 23 The Philadelphia Inquirer:

 According to Wikipedia: "U.S. mobilized over 4 million military personnel and suffered 110,000 deaths, including around 45,000 who died due to the 1918 Spanish flu outbreak (30,000 before they even reached France)."
