VIVID DESCRIPTION

Captain, Priest, Private and German
Lad, All Dying, Get Tender Caro
From Overworked Hospital
and Ambulance Aids.
The work of tho Hod Cross surgeon
nntl strotchor hearers nt the front In
Franco was never more vividly Illus
trated than In n rerent letter forward
ed to America. It was written by
Philip O. JIllls to Mr. Eliot Norton,
head of the Volunteer Motor Ambu
lance corps which Mr. Mills was serv
ing. Tho communication was prlvnte.
but was made public because of the
clearness with which It hets forth the
scenes nmld which the surgeons and
umbulance workers labor, day after
day. The text follows:
"Tonight I am sitting In a small un
derground cellnr of n public building,
nctlng as n sort of timekeeper for the
cars (ambulances) going up to our
tarns to the wounded man, gently feoli
Ihla nose, lifts up his closed eyelid, and
nt his nod tho stretcher Is again lifted
nnd the wounded man Is carried Intc
the operating room, nnd soon after lntc
the Uttlo room of sorrows.
"In answer to my eager question, the
surgeon shakes his' head.
"'Not n chance.'
"A hrancnrdler nnd I gather the sol
dier's belongings from his clothes to
he fcnt to his wife, but even we have
to stop for a few minutes after we
see tho photograph of his wife and
their two little children. f
"An hour later, as our night's work
Is slncklng up nnd several enrs hnve
driven up nnd been unlooded, the In
flnnlcr conies In from the little room
nnd says something to the brnnrnr
dlers. Two of them get n Mretchor,
anil In n moment the blp.t from
Belleville" comes pnst us with a shoot
over him. They lay him down at the
other end of the room and nnothor
hrnncardler begins rolling and tying
him lu burlap for burial. As I look
ho changes to n shapeless log. Then,
out to the dend wagon with It.
"Soon nftor, I go Into tho little ward
oguln to see how the others are com
ing through the night, nnd am glad to
see them nil quieted down. Even tho
little Germnn seems In less pain,
though his breathing still shakes the
heavy bed he lies on.
"Through a chink I see that day Is
beginning to break, nnd I hear tho
chief's car coming In from tho sap, nnd
know that the night's work Is over."
This Is not n sketch from the Imagi

most dangerous post, nnd handling tho
reserve enrs for wounded In the town
Itself. The whole woihl Is passing
here French, Americans ; living,
wounded nnd dying.
"A long, henvlly nrched corridor,
with stone stops leading down to it,:
two conipnrtments off to one side, lined
with wlno.hlns. where our reserve men
and n few French hruncurdlers
(stretcher hearers) nre lying on their
stained stretchers, some snoring; be
yond, n door that lends to a little sick
unrrt the most pathetic little room I
have ever seen with four beds of dif
ferent sizes nnd kinds on one bide, nnd
sis on the other, taken, evidently,
from tho ruined houses near by; and
one tired Inllrmler (hospital attendant)
to tend nnd soothe tho wounded nnd
dying.
"In the bed nearest tho door n
French priest, shot through tho lungs,
with pneumonia betting In, his black
heard pointing straight up, whlhperlng
for water.
"Next to him n little German lad,
hardly nineteen, and small, with about
sl hours to live, calling sometimes
f-crenmlng for his mother, arid then
for water.
"Next to him n French captain of
Infantry, his arm off nt the shoulder
and his head wounded weak, dying,
but smiling.
"And next to him n tirailleur (Infan
tryman) in delirium enlllng on his
colonel to chargo tho Germans.
"Tho lnflrmler Is going from one to
the other, soothing nnd waiting on ench.
In turn, no nsks mo what the German
Is snying, nnd I tell him he Is calling
for his mother.
" 'Ah, this Is a sad war !' ho snys, as
ho goes over to bold tho poor lad's
hand.
"A brnncnrdler comes In with n mes
sage: A messo (n wounueu man) nt
Belleville very serious.
"This Is n reserve car call, so ono
slides out nnd Is gone yke n gray ghost
down tho ruined street, making all the
speed Its driver can no easy matter
with no lights. In twenty minutes ho
Is back. The hrnncnrdlers go out.
They come In ngaln bearing tho wound
ed mnn on n stretcher nnd place It on
tho floor. One of them, who is n priest,
leans over him nnd asks his name, nnd
his town. On nnswer to the question
whnt his wife's name Is, ho whispers
Alice,' whllo on tho other stdo an
other brnncnrdler is slitting tho
clothes from his body nnd I shiver
with tho pity of It nt the sight I see.
"The surgeon comes out of his Uttlo
operating room. Weary with tho
night's tragic worK otter so many,
many other tragic nights ho douses
his head In n bucket of water. Ho
occurrences of n night behind the
front where tho French, the Belglnns,
the British nnd soon the Americans
hold nt bay the German Invader. This
Is the nightly work of the men who
care for tho wounded.

Sevcrnl of these mlts nre nlrendy
on tho wny to tho front In France, nnd
tho prospect Is that all will see early
service. Not only Is tho Red Cross
preparing to enro for American sol
diers nnd sailors when they move Into
the firing line, but Franco needs help
badly with her hospitals, and America
is giving it ns rapidly ns possible.
Tho German policy of sinking hos
pltnl ships with their thousands of
helpless wounded Is making It neces
sary to care for the British wounded
In France, and It puts n terrltlc strain
on the French hospital service.

SIOCKEItS AND FEEDKIIS
