One Of the Phases of War

The ambulance corps had established its
quarters just below some protecting hill

had already begun. The earth and the

upon which one of the batteries of the

through the gray veil Of powder. dust and

them. They had scarcely crossed the open
ground when they met struggling groups
OF wounded-these only the slightly
wounded. able to help themselves and each
other. One fell insensibie. u, was not be-

The Grisly Mask Of Death.
The relief moved forward. These men
must help their comrade. ON the tor
side of a rise of ground lay a bleeding
mass-a dozen or more men. The sur

argent wounds. but neither can these vic
tins be taken back: perhaps later they
can be helped. after those now lying in the
thick of the battle have been looked after.

point of attack. the groups OF staggering
wounded increased and surrounded them.
Water anc spirits were hastily measured

they went past the dead-the piles of dead.
All these creatures. horse and human be-

MoRIARTY GETS A JOLT
County Commissioner Daniel Nor
iarty yesterday paid the penalty for
allying himself with Aleck McCor-
mick and his high-brow followers on
the County Board. John McGillen,
one of the high chiefs of the Sullivan
Democracy, bitterly roasted the col
onel for his actions while member
of the board.
At the end of the speech Moriarty
waited for someone to defend him
and, seeing nothing but looks of dis
approval in the faces of those who
were formerly his supporters, tiptoed
silently from the room.
McGillen also attacked certain
kind of reformers who were in need
of greater personal reformation than
those they chose to attack.
The Tribune was also assailed for
its unfair policy to those who refuse
to take orders.

The denunciation of Moriarty by
the Sullivanites will probably mean
his political end. He has been used
by the Mccormick faction and the
trust newspapers, who support the
president of the County Board, but
they hardly ever give him credit for
his loyalty to their cause, and be-
cause he is Democrat they may for
get him when election time comes
around.
