AN ENEMY.
Described by an Onicer who Led an
Attack.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-SM: In
reading the September issue OF Scf1o-
ner's the following lines came to my
notice
Have you ever heard shrapnel. by any
chance? No? We'll. 1t sounds as much
as anything else like a winter gale howl
ing through the branches Of a pine tree
1t Is a moan. a groan, a shrek, and n
wall rolled into one, and when the ek-
plosion comes II sounds as though some
one had touched OF a stick OF Dynamite
under a grand plano. And II Is not par
ticularly cheering to know that the ones
you hear do not harm you. and that 1t Is
the ones you do not have time to hear
that send you to the cemetery.
The above quotation reminds me OF
the story. told by my cousin who was
killed during the Russo-Japanese war.
serving then as a Lieutenant. Some time
before he was killed he was seriously
wounded in the leg and after tempo
rary treatment at a field hospital he
was sent back home for further treat
ment. Upon his discharge from the
hospital he was permitted to see his
folks, and while he was with us for a
day he told the following story:
This medal was given to me as the
reward for my insane-like act to rush

gale rowling through the branches OF a
big tree. l ran ahead OF my men to lead
them. But when the gale grew harder
and louder / wanted to retreat. tried
hard to protect myself as well as my
men behind n tree or something Of that
sort.
Very near TO the enemy's line. all OF a
sudden, I felt as II I were thrown into
a deep hole filled with boiling hot water.
I tried desperately to get out OF II, but
like a long bedridden sick man. contrary
to what | thought | was, I was so weak
that I could not move even an inch. A
moment later I felt as II I were carried
into an ice box. and then nothing more
1 remembered TIL I was on the operating
table OF a Red Cross field hospital.
To march under the shower of FIRE and
shell. which looks like a terrible thun-
der storm-hundreds OF them come al
onoe--is like crawling into a burning fur
mace. am very proud of this medal,
but really I cannot tell you enough how
sickening and frightful an experience
had to 20 through.
My cousin was ordered TO the front
again Immediately after his recovery
from his wound. which covered a period
OF three months. and was killed IN the
battle of Mukden. s. MoRI.
