the empire had been completed in
Germany Easement was landed at 8
o'clock at night by German sub

plainly visible by the people of Gerry.
Reaching shore, the guns carried by

FROM THE WAR ZONE
Former Carlisle Man Was Wounded
Five Times. But He Is Still Alive.

Pembina. N. D.. Nov. 17.-After be-
ing shot five times in different parts
Of the body, John Webb. formerly Of
Carlisle. is back and is apparently as
we'll as any man.
In 1914 he joined the "remounts' at
Winnipeg and went to the front. For
several months he served as q black
smith. but was soon put on a rapid
firing gun squad on the front line. He
participated in the battle of Ypres
where the Canadian contingent was
almost wiped out.
Land Disfioured.
Webb stated that the surface of the
land over which the battle ragged was
completely changed by trenches and
shell craters. Flying machines and
Zeppelins were seen in comparatively
large numbers most of the time and
shells fell continually.
In describing the methods used in
caring for wounded soldiers. Webb said
1t takes from three to four hours to
reach hospital after being wounded.
When injured Webb was taken to the
rear by first aid men, then by an auto
mobile to boat landing, whence he
was taken by a. transport across the
channel to England to a hospital.
Trenches Close,
1t was a common thing for men in
the opposing trenches to call to each
other but to light match at night or
to raise head during the day time was
sure to bring several shots. Webb
states that the trenches were often nc
farther apart than the width Of a
street.
Had No Friends.
Only once during the time he wassir
service, did Webb hear of anyone from
this country being near him. At this
time he heard the name of William
Lindsey Of Ridgeville being called, but
he could not see him.
Bullets that struck Webb penetrated
his body under one arm. one hit him or
the head. one in the leg, one in th'
arm and a piece of shrapnel went
through one OF his hands. He is able
to walk and does not suffer from any
of the injuries.
