GOLD CORD A WAR PERIL
Heavy Losses of Officers In European
War Caused by Badges Of
Rank.

Paris.-One of the earliest lessons
of the war was that of the danger tc
officers in allowing them to wear
badges of their rank, gold cord around
their coat sleeves, gold decorations
on their headgear, etc, which marked
them out to the enemy's picked shots
and resulted in unnecessary and
ayoidable losses among them. This
lesson was learned, and now It has be
come so difficult at the front to iden,
tify an officer that a failure to salute
is overlooked on this ground.
There seems, however, a chance that
this danger is being revived by the
regulations making the wearing of
cheyrons obligatory. These chevrons
are in ehe form of an inverted V and
are worn on the right arm between
the elbow and shoulder to denote that
the wearer has been wounded, and on
the left to show the length of time
he has been at the front, one showing
one year of active service, two for 1a
months. They are worn in all sorts
Of material and cOlors, officers wear
ing them in gold and silver. When
worn on leave or during convalescence
their visibility is a good point, but at
the front they draw upon their wear
ers the same danger that badges Of
rank formerly did.

Horrors of War.

One Of Germany's most noted sur
geons, who has spent months ut the
front and in hospital service, in writ
ing Of the effect of the terrible strain
Of war as depicted upon the faces of
those released from the firing line,
says: physically these soldiers may
be as hard as iron, yet they are not
Intact. The officers nearly always de-
velop an uncanny, marble, staring look,
as though they had been accustomed
to gaze shudderingly at all the terrOrs
and desOlating orgies of destruction,
as though they had been obliged to wit
uess this with unblinking eyes and
finally felt that their eyes had become
d mirror of the horrible. 1t is as though
the claw of demon had seized their
faces and made their eyes sink deeper
ntO their hOllows. The more highly
civilized a man is, the better educated,
the deeper his feelings, the more does
he bear the indefinable something in
his face, the sign that he has seen ter
"ible things. ."-Christian Advocate.

How He Was CAUGHT.

He had no stomach for the army
but presented himself for examination
with a "sure trick" up his sleeve to
''work his ticket" He was physically
perfect, but his eyesight was shockS

thought the doctor should see him.
"First class physically" pronounced
the doctor, but when the medical man
applied the eye tests the wOuld-be re-
fruits sight appeared much worse than
when the sergeant had him in hand.

that you're no use for the army" said

The spectacles were produced and

sarcasm. "Take him along, sergeant,
