Citizens about the Wilson av. dis

They are asking for a station at

way through the Wilson aV. depot ev-

WOUNDED TELL OF TERRORS OF
MODERN WARFARE

London, Sept. II (By Mail to New
York).-The terror of modern war
fare in fighting with long range guns
and facing fire from an-invisible en-
envy is wildly described by many of
the wounded who have reached here.
A lance corporal of the Connaught
rangers today told of the troops he
was with being in the line of battle
for three days before they saw a
German.
''The disconceTting thing in the
present fighting with modern Weap-
ons is that you may be in action for
hours without seeing the enemy"
said the corporal. Zone day we lay
for ten hours in the trenches with
shells dropping about us like rain. We
could see puffs of smoke along the
horizon and hear the constant roar
of the guns, but that was all Only
when you got a bullet in the arm or
leg did you realize that you were
really in battle. Though we were
under fire constantly, it was three
whole days before we actually set
eyes on a German. After that there
was plenty of hand to hand fighting"
The corporal commented upon the
utter disregard German officers feel
