TERRIBLE TALES OF THE WAR

Terrible tales come to us from the
stricken war fields Of Europe. Under
the most favored and favorable con-
ditions the fate of the wounded On
any battlefield is dreadful to contem-
Mate. Men fall i'm the maddened rush
of the assault or the charge; their
fellows have no time to stop; their
one business is to kill, to push for
ward, on over the crumpled bodies OF
the men who a moment before was
fighting by their sides. The wounds
often are not in themselves necessar-
ily fatal but the trampling, the neg
lect, the waiting in the blazing sun
or under the baptism Of the rain, the
shock and the fever, the horrible
thirst for water, the loss of blood
all OF these assist Death i'm his bust
ness.
There they lie helpless, thousands
of them, in every form and shape OF
hideous contortion, groaning, crying
out for succor, moaning for the bless
ed water.
Other horrors wait upon them. i
they survive the passing OF the ruth
less feet, the hail Of shrapnelr tbs
bursting of shells, till the shadows OF
night sweep down, then come the
ghouls, the devils of the battlefield
the vile, sneaking, cruel demons ir
human form who come to take ghast,
IN toll from the fallen. Then silent
Stealthy murder is done, and some
times unnameable mutilation. Re
venge and hate and sordid avarice &c
hand In hand across the darkeneC
fields. moan or a despairing cr1
guides the ghoul to his victim-Deat

Through death and sickness to the star.

When God calls us away
