We have turned off the main
road. and have to march over a
field of stubble. A battle was
fought here yesterday, for the
field is sown with dead bodies.
They have picked mp the wound
ed. But as yet they have had no
time ITO bury those who died
where they fell.
The first dead man we saw
struck us dumb. At first we
hardly realized what IL meant
this lIfeIess new uniform spread
out there-from the way he was
lying you could hardly believe
he was really dead. 1t gave you
a prickly feeling on the tongue.
IL seemed as II you were on the
manOeuvers, and the fellow ly-
ing there In a ditch had got a
touch of the sun. A rough sol
dieriy Jest, a CHEEKY shout was
all that was wanted to raise him
to his ramshackIe legs.
"Hullo, you! Got head?
Keep a stiff neck"
But the words froze I'm our
throat, for an icy breath was
waited to us from the dead man.
and a chill hand elutehed at our
terror-stricken hearts.
So that was DEATH We knew
all about it now. That is whe
IL looks like, and we turned our
heads back and shuddered.
But then there came more and
more of them.
And by this time we have be-
come accustomed to them.
Strange! l gaze at these 81
lent faces that seem to laugh at
US, at these wounds that seem to
mouth at US Enthusiastically, as If
they had nothing to do with me.
II strikes all as so remote. so
indifferent. As IL all these dead
bodies were lying in glass, as
IL l we're In an anatomical mu-
scum. and were staring with dis
passionately curious eyes at some
scientific exhibits.
Sometimes no wounds at all
are visible. The bullets have
passed through the uniforms
somewhere, and have gone clean
through the softer parts of the
bodies. ..s
They have grown rigid in
death in grotesque pastures as IL
Death had been trying to pose
figures here.
There are certain schemes of
Death that are always recurring.

over there lying on his back is
holding his hand pressed against
his abdomen. as If he we're trying
to stauneh the wound.

watching them killing sheep.
There a beast lay, and was wait

short knife cut through it's wind

blood leaped out from It's neck,
l could see nothing but the big
eve, how IL enlarged In it's head
to a fearsome stare, until at last
it turned to a dull glass.
All the bodies lying about here.

nothing to make a fuss about
that! But to be shot through
the chest, to be shot through the
belly, to burn for hours In the
fever of your wounds, to cool
your mangled body I'm the wet

pitiless blue heavens because
your accursed eyes go on refusing
to glaze over yet

I force myself to look past these
hooking, grotesque poses plas-
tiques of Death.
And l am already spirited far
away, and am sitting in my little
study at home. MY coffee cup
is standing snugly to my hand.
My bookcase is beaming down
on me. My well-loved books in

Working men, trades~1eu ar

that's what they are for the
most part. They themselves
have as yet never Emelled pow

That, l suppose, Is the reason
why they have suddenly become
SO dumb.
Then a voice beside me says
some thing abruptly, and it
seems as If the voice rebounded
hollow from the silence.

That was the yoke side me.

They're all drawn from that

us and cozened carelessly round
our bodies. You have brought
us up as human beings. That
we have been human no longer
counts. Life and love no longer
count; flesh and blood no longer
count; only gore and corpses
count for anything now. How
We used to tremble I'm that other
world. when a naked human life
was even in danger. How We
rushed into the burning house to
drive away the death for which
some poor old paralyzed woman
craved. How we plunged into
the wintry river to snatch

quiet waters. We would not
even suffer a man to creep away

SPOKANE, Aug. 15.-"What's
the matter with the Tigers7"
That's the question that Spo-
kane fans are insistently demand
ing. When the Tacoma boys came
here Monday, after their great
bunch of winnings at home and
their ability to take three out of
one thought that Spokane would
have one of the hardest tusseis
OF the season.
But this weeks series has been
as easy as taking candy away
from babies. The Tigers are
either pursued by an awfully per-
sistent iinx. or else they are try
ing to throw the games DELHI
erately.
With Harry Rush on the slab
yesterday for Tacoma, hired by
Russ Hall as an emergency
pitcher because two of the regu-
lar siabmen were sick, the Puget
Sound boys held the score 2 TO
0 In their favor until the seventh
inning. Then they simply would
not play. They made four err
rors in one inning. missed all
manner of tries, and allowed Spo-
kane to shoot over six runs be-
fore the third man was out. And
the game finished with that
score. 6 to 2.
Harry Rush pitched with Sc
attic in 1903, when that city
won the pennant. and has recent
Iy been pitching In inter-ci-, md
semi-professional teams around
this section. His work for six
innings was admirable. and no
one can say that he threw" the
game in the seventh. The Tiger
players themselves made the err
rors and allowed the runs.
Lou Stanley pitched three and
oRe-half innings for Spokane, was
replaced by Harry Hughes, and
Tozer finished the eighth inning
for Hughes.
The score:

Giants will be beaten out this
year.

ploys in winning games. yet one
cannot help but pull for him to
win his fourth straight pennant.
. When a man takes a bunch OF
inferior material, whips 1t into
shape. and holds il together and
makes IL play the most consis-
tent baseball In his league he de-
serves something.
Study this seasons dope and
you will see that the Giants
have beaten back each club that
has threatened it.
Pittsburg came along early. In
grand early condition, and burn
ing up the league. The Giants
fought them and pulled them
back. Then Cincinnati bobbed
up, and the Giants withered their
aspirations. Then the Cardinals
got chesty and full of pennant
hopes, and the Giants licked
them. Finally the Cubs came
along within striking distance
OF the lead. and the Giants, who
had been losing, rallied and
showed them back toward where
they belong.
Now the Braves ere full of the
pennant spirit-and they must
beat the Giants to win. We shall
see what happens.
McGraw certainly has shown
talent for rallying his men and
making them fight for the games
that count most.
