did work been done, I have seen the turbulent turmoil of handling the injured in great railway wreck-clanging am- balances, shouting stretcher bearers, confused doctors, hectic police. Forty were killed in that wreck. Multiply that by 20 or 50 or 100 and you get close to the magnitude of this daily carnival of killing and maiming. Yet caring for the wounded is a quiet systematic thing efficiency topmost, emotion and con fusion eliminated.
 When a man is wounded and taken to a place back of the firing line where the surgeon can dress his wound and de- cido whether he is too badly hit to move, he either remains in one of the great hospitals in France or is sent on to Eng land. In the latter case he becomes a piece of baggage. To his tunic is at tached a label. This gives his name, regiment and the nature of his wound. In the case of officers, at least, a care ful inventory is made of their belong ings and these are looked after Then he is passed down the line, always in the best of hands. He may have Red Cross orderlies, men, or women nurses to take care of him. They say that these orderlies are even rendered with the wounded than the women; probably 1t is the advantage of strength which makes it possible for them to lift maimed body with the least movement
 FOOD AND DRINK
 All along the line there is food and drink. Cigarettes, too on the English coast, from the hands of girls who make that their particular business, and are consequently vastly popular and greatly appreciated.
 The war has come closer to London these last few days than ever before. Into several of the great stations roll each day train after train laden with wounded men. They bring with them the glory of the battlefield and staid, phlegmatic, stol- i'd London is genuinely moved. The Eng fish run their war with an apparently studied minimum of enthusiasm or chance for enthusiasm. The war office may have imagination of strategcal and tactical kind but none of the sort that leads to display, or to bringing the public to a high pitch of excitement and enthusiasm. Battalions, regiments $ and divisions slip off across the water between the dark and the daylight, un- cheered, unsung. It is a horribly busi- ness-like procedure. Since the demonstra- tions at the beginning of the war there has been scarcely cheer in London It isn't the British way, that's all
 Now, though, these chaps in khaki are coming back and they are getting a splendid welcome. They come in blood stained and tattered uniforms the clothes they were wounded in. and they show the turmoil which they have been through Their dirty khaki is re., eyed by swathes of white bandages and more often than not they are in great need of a barber

in London have taken place In Man chester the wounded were placed in mo- tors. As these moved off these soldiers turned to the train and beckoned a fare departure from one of the windows. When the last contingent moved away she said: Poor but brave lads! I feel don't like to part from them. I would like to nurse them to the end"
 This lady said that she could not wish to have finer or more jolly lot of patients. Those who had been maimcd for life and those who were not so se- riously wounded seemed to be quite in- different to their injuries. On the railway journey from Southampton she sympa- thized with one of the men seriously wounded by the bursting of bomb He replied: "Oh. sister. It doesn't matter that much It has given me a few days rest from the trenches"
 There are too many stories to tell them all, but here Is another one of interest:
 During the early fighting opposite Fri court a sergeant of a Yorkshire regi- ment led his section into the fourth row of German trenches in the front-line sys- tenn Here, under heavy fire. they pro- ceeded to make the most of such shelter as offered, and in the course of so doing collected "A prisoners. Although sur rounded and fired upon from all sides. the gallant little party held on all day. But by the time darkness fell the ser geant was the only Britsher able to sta nd upright. and thought it about time to beat retreat and see what help he could get for the wounded.
 Accordingly. he ordered his prisoners to fall in and march. which they did with astonishing docility. So fierce was the barrage that in the return journey half of the Germans were bowled over. and the sergeant, who seemed to bear a charmed life. reported with regret that he had not been able to bring back more than F Germans"
 Those of us who have been sitting on the side lines since August, 1914 have seen the British public go through good deal of diversity and have admired their fortitude and stubborn courage. Now the-e is period of success, and their attitude is equally admirable.

TAKE COUNCILMAN'S CAR
After Joyriding for While Parties
Bring It Back.

Someone was out for good time
Friday night and thought that a
good time consisted in stealing auto
mobiles. SO the party or parties pro-
ceeded TO enjoy themselves.
Councilman Arthur Miller was the
victim Of the good time. He had left
his car standing i'm front OF his
home at Ga s. Rush ST. He heard a
noise out in front and looked out OF
the window but saw nothing amiss.
Five minutes later he looked out
again and the machine was gone.
This was about 10 o'clock.
The police station was notified
and Sergt. Chappell notified Misha-
waka police and several Of the pa
trolmen 10 be on the lookout for
the machine. Motorcycle Patrolman
Olmstead was sent out on a hunt
for the automobile, also.
About 1918 o'clock Mr.. Miller
phoned to the station that the car
had been returned.
Miller says that a search was
made around the entire block and
no trace Of the auto could be found
before notifying the police. After
the call had been made, the ma
chine was brought back and left
standing in the middle of the street
in front of a neighboring house. No
lights were burning on the machine
when II was brought back.

An Old Sweetheart
of Mine" Charming
as Hoosier Play

Breathing the spirit OF James
Whitcomb Rney's poems. An Old
Sweetheart Of Mine" presented at
the oliver last evening. is a real Hoo
sier play Presented by a cast uni
form in excellence the piece is Moth
ing short OF charming and certainly
deserving Of the patronage Of every
Hoosier playgoer
1t is error TO suppose that, as in so
many cases, the play is but counter
felt depending on its connection with
the distinguished writer for its sue
cess. on the contrary. An Old
Sweetheart of Mine" is a cleverly
constructed drama with plenty Of
humor and not "A little pathos. The
adapter, Robert Mclaughlin, has
caught the spirit of the late Riley in
admirable manner; running all
through the piece are illusions 10 the
best known of the late poets works
and the characters are all right out
OF the pages of Child Rhymes, "
Farm Rhymes" and the other pub
lished volumes.
There are the "RagCedy Man, p"
about whom the story of the play Is
woven. Squire Hawkins, Doc" Sifers.
Jap Miller, JEFF Thompson and Lit
tie Orphant Annie" and several 9TH
ers. Orrin Johnson in the role of the
"Raggedy Man" does a remarkable
bit of character work in the first act
and in the remainder OF the play de-
liverS himself of several impressive
speeches. Agnes Findlay shares with
him the honors in the character por-
trayal for her presentation of Little
Orphant Annie. Frederick Burton
as doc" Sifers also deserves men
ton. 1t is no exaggeration to say that
the play is admirably cast, and the
character work must needs be doubly
good If il is TO match the mental pic
lures which the reading Of Riley's
works evoke.
The story touches in many places
actual events in the career of the late
poet but the adapter has availed
himself of a freedom in this direction
which makes for the success of the
work as play. South Bend has an
other opportunity today to see An
Old Sweetheart of Mine" Ii is a
treat they should not miss.
