Strange Silence on a Battle
field,

One OF the most peculiar things in time
OF battle and on the road to the front il
the silence of the men. when the Rough
Riders made their.memorial charge up the
hill at San Juan and 257 were killed and
$40 wounded, hardly a word was spoken
after the command to charge was given by
Col. Roosevelt, now governor of New
York, as be road at the head of his reCi-
ment, and everyone seemed to be thinking
very hard; you could almost hear men
think, it was so apparent. These blood
rtained, dirty, ragged and half naked
soldiers dragged themselves along as
silently as specters, with never a word
even to their companions. All with one
intent 10 get to the hospital, so that their
ounds may receive proper attention. All
suffering silently and heroically bearing
the terrible pain. Here and there thew
stopped to rest or readjust a bandage or
70 wait while a pack train passed, and
slowly started on for the hospitaI
where they waited their turn; and in
many cases their turn did not come for
hours after their arrival, and they Law
here on the ground with no covering and
their fate. These men stood nil
hat and lived.
