Przemysl. The reserve men had come
down from the hillside where they
had waited all day and were begin

front. The white horse that we had
seen among them in the morning was
ridden by a young captain with a
bristling mustache. We passed hum

stunned mind to grasp what was

words can be:
Army priest goes to side OF little

straw In sunshine. They struggle to
their knees, fold their hands as he
bends over to hear one confess. 9th

bowed. Their faces are terribly
drawn and CHASTITY green. They'll be
dead by morning or the priest would
not have been called. There is mis-
cry unspeakable about the yard.
Twelve men are dying under the
trees. Sunshine dripping on them.
With almost their last strength they
crawl TO their knees one after the
other as the priest arouses them and
humble weakly into his ear. They
fall back weekly as the priest straight
ems up and raises his hands in bless

That's the best I can do. I've never
learned any words that would tell
such a story as that and Adams who
has painted emperors and kings says
there is no brush and paint that can
tell the story on canvas.

helplessly by his side. until the writh-

the soldier OF Austria had come to
his end.
