Wounded SOLDIER HAS
LONG VOYAGE TO MAKE

and the car will race through the
streets Of the city to the hospital
which once seemed to be situated SO
many miles away and where warm
white beds, gentle nurses, flowers
and no responsibility awaits him. It
is no wonder that the wounded men
who reach the hospital wards sink
back onto the pillows with signs OF
relief and smile when they catch the
first glimpse Of the white nurses.
Look back at the journey he has
taken since that moment he was hit,
in the trenches and you can under
stand how a hospital ward looks like
heaven to q wounded soldier.
To get into hospital Is one OF a
soldiers dreams and there are strict
laws in all armies against men
woundfng themselves. In the French
army this self-wounding is known as
mutilation" and the punishment is
death. In our regiment an ex-convict
who had been released after serving
fifteen years. in order to permit him
to enter the army, persuaded another
soldier to shoot him through the hand.
In return for the favor he also pune
tured the hand Of the soldier. When
they came to have their wounds
dressed the doctors noticed powder
marks on their mangled hands and
the truth came out. Both men were
executed.

rarely, takes place
"For instance: Imagine yourself a

on your right, says to you In low
tone: Fix bayonets; pass the order.

LONDON, March 16.-(By mail to

bringing victory to the allies arms"
victory even more striking than the
fray of lead. From all parts Of the
battle-ground comes reports which
thrill scientists.
Immunity OF the troops in the west
ern backgrounds from tetanus, ty-
phoid. dysentery and similar martial
plaques is declared to be remarkable.
This immunity Is said to be largely
due to the Pasteur institute of Paris
and individual scientists.
Accompaniment Of each division OF
the army by meteorological labra-
tory is said to be a great step in
medical science OF war. These labo-
ratories continually test the soldiers
drinking water, test mans blood, and
give anti-serlum treatment upon sus-
ptcion Of microbe infection.
The medical advances made are re-
garded as the paradox of the war.
While scientific genius has brought
the machinery Of death to the Nth
degree Of perfection, 1t has also dis
covered new means Of keeping SOL
diers free from disease.
Typhoid, which for time threaten
ed defamation Of the allies ranks In

Private Bilikoff, whose amazing ex-
plot in capturing machine gun from
the Germans is related In official dis
patches just received from the East
Prussian front.
Bilikoff's company had routed the
Germans from their trench at the
point Of a bayonet, and the retreating
soldiers were endeavoring to save
their machine gun, under furious
fire. A number of them had already
been killed, and a detachment of fif-
teen from a neighboring trench was
coming to the rescue. But Bilikoff
beat them to it. Rushing forward,
he quickly removed the gun from its
carriage, and, placing it on his back,
where it acted as shield, he dashed
for the Russian lines. On his way to
shelter, two bullets struck the gun,
and others whistled about his head,
but he was unhurt, finally depositing
his trophy in the Russian trench.
None Of his comrades returned, and
the gun carriage and the dogs which
were hauling it remained with the
Germans.
