the path of the brain the shock of
the wound may be too great to be
perceived. Too bright light blinds;
too loud noise deafens.
DR. Crile's observations on the fate
of the wounded are interesting, and
show that their chances of relief are
small. The Red Cross, he says, has
proved as much a target as pro.
lection, for ambulances and hospitals
are fired upon. The toll of killed
and wounded among surgeons in the
first week of the war ranked with
that of the artillery officers.
Il knew of one instance" says
DR. Grille, in which an officer who
had been wounded on the Hell Strip,
or No Mans Land that red lane
between the German and the French
advance trenches in the Argonne,
lay there for six and one-half days,
then died. Neither rescue nor cap
ture was permitted. Flashlights
played over this wounded man at
night. and food was thrown to him
from the trenches by day. Dead
bodies lie on this strip or dangle on
barbed wires for days and weeks
and months"
The soldier who is so slightly
wounded that he will soon be able

to return to the front is kept within
sound of the guns lest he lose his
courage. Here, with no sense of
security, he must make his recovery.
If he got back to the safety and
comforts of home he might collapse.
Wounded soldiers are usually left
till darkness. Even at night rescue
work is difficult, as shellfire plays
constantly over the field. Like trap
ped wolves and bears, wounded
soldiers often complete the amputa-
ton of their own mangled limbs.
They may be beried alive in shelled
trenches. They may be frozen to
death or die of hunger and thirst.
Their froven feet may drop off with
their shoes. The wounded must
often consort with the dying. the
dead and the decomposing.

Some were dying, some dead, but
everyone was in deep Sleep" writes
DR. Grille. Bleeding, yet asleep;
legs shattered, yet asleep; abdomen
and chest torn wide open,yet asleep.
They were lying on the hard floor or
on bits of straw. Not groan, not a
motion, not a complaint only sleep!
1t is interesting to know that these
/ sleeping soldiers usually dream. The
dream is always the same, always of
the enemy. 1t is never a pleasant
pastoral dream or dream of home,
but dream of the charge, the burst
ing shell, of the bayonet thrust.
Again and again a badly wounded
soldier in the hospital would spring
up in his sleep with battle cry and
reach for his rifle.
Concerning pain, DR. Grille observes
the following conditions:
l. In the midst of a furious
charge the soldier feels no pain if
wounded. and sore and bleeding feet
are unnoticed. In the overwhelm-
ing excitement of battle he may be
shot, stabbed or crushed without
feeling pain.
2. The blow of a high-velocity
bullet or projectile, unaccompanied
by the heat of battle, causes no i'm
pact or pain. though there may be a
burning sensation at the point of
entrance, and the soldier may feel
as if he had been Jared or struck.
Frequently he first learns of his
wound from comrade.
8, In the state of complete ex-
haustion, in which loss of sleep is
the chief factor, pain is quite abol-
ished.
4. Under heavy emotion pain is
greatly diminished. even prevented.
A remarkable example of the ab.
sence of pain mentioned by DR. Grille
is that of a young British sergeant
who, in severe engagement, while
standing near a battery, had his leg
partially cut off by a shell that fail.
ed to explode. He felt no pain,
merely jar, and discovered his in
jury only when his leg failed to sup
port him. He hoped to a nearby
stack of grain and lay down behind it.
Here he took out his dull, one
bladed knife, and completed the am
putation. feeling no pain in making
the division. An ambulance squad
started for him, but Immediately
the enemy fired upon them, killing
one. The fire becoming more in
tense, the sergeant rolled over and
over into a nearby ravine. The
enemy advanced so fast that in his
excitement he struggled up, and
forgetting that his leg was gone,
tLre'7 his weight on the stump.
Even then, however, he felt no pain.
For several hours he lay there with
out pain, until after the danger had
passed, and he was removed by the
stretcher squad. Then pain took
possession of it's normal channel and
his suffering began.
DR. Crile's explanation of the alb
sence of pain in such cases is this:
The stimulus of the sight of the
enemy is so intense that no other
stimulus can obtain possession of
the final common path of the brain
the path of action. Pain is newt
ably associated with muscular action;
that is, an action of the muscles due
to the injury must begin before the
pain is felt. Therefore, if bullet
or bayonet wound is inflicted at the
moment when this injury cannot
obtain possession Of the path of the
brain, it can excite no muscular &C.
ton and consequently no pain. Even
where other stimulus do not possess
