HOW A SHOT FEELS
REPORT OF SOLDIERS WHO WERE
WOUNDED IN ACTION.

There Is q Tradition That Men
Shall Not Have Feelings When I'm
der Fire, But It Is Natural
Wounded Men Explain Sensation.
A man in New York set out after the
recent war to find soldiers who had
been wounded in action He wanted TO
ask them about their wounds, to know
how they acted when hurt, and espe-
cially what was their first conscious
thought-the psychological effect, in
short.
The investigation was attended with
certain difficulties. In the first place
surprisingly small percentage of the
OF the invading army had been wound
ed. Soldiers had suffered all sorts of
other things, from sunstroke to yellow
Jack, but Spanish craftsmanship
seemed less and less to be feared as. the
search went on. Even after the inves-
tgator corralied some men who had
been shot, he had trouble in making
them tell about it-a whole lot of trou-
bic, in fact. Many Of them were like
the old sergeant OF regulars, whose tale
was as follows: Il was shot in the leg,
s0rr. OF tumbled down, sorr. I felt
like he'll, sorr." There is a tradition
that men shall not have feelings when
they are under fire. When they tell Of
their feelings at all it comes in the ma
ture of onfeSSion-Something to be
ashamed of. That is what drill and
training are for as much as anything
else-to create a habit that will be
strong enough to resist naure. Conse-
quently it was among the volunteers.
who had not prepared themselves so
thoroughly SIS the regulars for this kind
of crisis, that most Of the interesting
mental phenomena occurred.
There was one member Of the Sew
enty-first Regiment who was shot in
the leg, and he said that the mental
effect was intense chagrin. His people.
he said, were of the "let the others gO''
variety Of patriots. They did not for
bid him to enlist, hut the consensus OF
home opinion was against ii. They
took the ground t;at other lives. Of
less value either to their owners or So
ciety, would answer the purpose as
well. He argued that he did not ex-
pect to lose either life or limb or health.
Were the loss any of these certain he
would not have enlisted, and he con-
Guided that his chances were~nearly as
good as If he were to remain at home.
Well, when he was shot down there in
Cuba, the episode became. part of dis
cussion in way that was sudden,
