FORD II would be better to read the
lesson Of the misdventure for the
American people. First and last the
British probably put 100000 men
ashore In Gallipoli. for in killed and
wounded they lost 100000 at least. To
accomplish their despatch and disem-
barkation a largo feet Of transports
and supply ships was required.
Suppose It became necessary to send
100000 men overseas, say to the Phil.
ippines, how should we do it7 In the
course Of few months we could
collect the men. but what about tho
ships? The limit Of our capacity In
transportation Is probably $4,000 men.
Plainly, then, 1t is time we were OBJ
tanning more ships for an emergency
that may come upon us with the
swiftness Of light. The volunteers we
could drum up for an overseas expedl.
ton would be far less efficient than
KITCHENER's army" which were
mingled In with regulars, and the
British volunteers for all their heroic
bravery were mere food for powder,
as Lord RoBERrs used to predict half
trained soldiers would always be. No
American army officer believes that
such volunteers as We sent to the
Philippines in 1s9s1000 would have
done as well in Gallipoli as the British
territorials, for there Is no doubt that
they had much more training than
American volunteers usually receive.
The proposed continental army with
its two months Of drill a year would
not he as good as the men who got
six months hard work on Salisbury
Plain and elsewhere, later to die by
thousands on Turkish soil.
In the Gallipoli campaign officers

have been "a boy again." aye, a baby,

all the tenderness of mother-love; but
even now, in this cruel extremity, ev-

Some one put hand gently but firm
ly on each of my shoulders, turned my
back to him, took me out of the room,
and hurried away, while the air
shuddered with his shrieks and
groans. After he had been brought
back to his place in the ward I could
hear him as passed to and from my
room, and even while l occupied it.
Once he saw me through the open
door, and called, "Mutter! mutter!"
Il went, knelt by him, took his hands
which were stretched appealingly to
me, and spoke comforting words,
while his blue eyes seemed ready to
start from their sockets, as he chung

cry:

to leave, saying:

I drew my hands from the frantic
grasp, took away that last hold on
human sympathy, and hurried out,
while his cry of "Oh, mutter! NUT

looked on his pure high brow for the
last time.

Heroic and Anti-Heroic Treatment.
The other ward in which l was not
welcome, adjOined that one in which
my room was situated, and to reach
it l must go out of doors or pass thru
one-half the length of that ward. In
these passages I had an opportunity
for studying Piemia and it's ordinary
treatment, and could give the men
lemonade when they wanted it.
In this ward lay young German
with a wounded ankle. He had
broad, square, forehead, skin white as
wax, large blue eyes and yellow hair,
inclined to curl. His whole appear
ance indicated high culture, and an
organization peculiarly sensitive to
pleasure or pain; but no one seemed
to understand that he suffered more
than others from like cause.
Surgeon and nurses scoffed at his
means, and thought it babyish for
muscular man over six feet to show
so many signs of pain. l think that
from some cause, the surgeon felt vim
dictive toward him, and that his sub
ordinates took their cue from him.
When l went to give him lemonade,
he would clutch my hand or dress,
LUX up Ill NY lace, anu pleaQ.
"Oh, mutter! mutter!"
But if sat down to soothe and COM
fort him, nurse always came to re-
mind me of the surgeons orders, and
used to 60 around on the outside,
that he might not see and call me.
When he was in the amputation room
heard his shrieks and groans, and
carried glass of wine to the door for
him.
He heard my voice and called "Mut.
ter! mutter!" =
pushed past the orderly, ran to
him, and his pleading eyes seemed to
devour me as he fastened his gaze on
my face. 1 cannot think to this day
why he should have been nude for the
amputation of foot; but he was, and
some one threw towel across his
zloins as I approached.
DR.. Baxter said: - :, -
"No sympathy! no sympathy"
So i stood by him, placed a hand On
each side of his corrugated brow,
steadied my voice and said:
"Be man and soldier!"
He had asked me for bread; gave
him stone, and no wonder he dashed
it back in my face. With a fierce cry
he said:

pressed the muscle into a natural, easy
position, c0Oed and talked and COM
forted the sufferer, as l should have
done sick baby, and in ten minutes
he was asleep.
Then whispered the nurses to
bring cotton and oakum, and little
cushions, made them put the cotton
and oakum in small tufts to my index
fingers; while crooned my directions
in a song-song lullaby air. l worked
in this support, gradually and imper-
ceptibly withdrawing my hands until
l could substitute the little cushions,
for the force by which they held the
muscle in proper osition. This done,
my boy soldier slept as sweetly as
ever he had done in his crib.
Next morning a nurse came running
for me to hurry to him. He had slept
six hours, walked, had his breakfast,
and had his wound dressed, and now
the pain was back bad as ever. 1 went,
fixed the mangled muscle with refer
ence to his change of position, made
a half-mould to hold it there, and be-
fore l had finished he began an eight
hour sleep. Ten days after he was
sent home to his mother, and / saw or
heard of him no more.

Special Work.

In the wilderness OF work l must
choose, and began to select men who
had been given up by the surgeons,
and whom l thought might be saved
by special care. Surgeon Kelly soon
entered into my plan, and made his
ward my headquarters. TO It my spec
ial patients were brought, until there
was no more room for them. That in
tuitive perception of the natural posi-
ton of muscles, and the Importance
Of keeping them in it, which came to
me on first seeing a wound dressed,
gave me such control over pain that
used to go through the wards between
midnight and morning and put ampu-
tatiOn cases to sleep at the rate OF one
in fifteen minutes.
In these morning walks I saw that
the nurses were on duty and had sub
stantial refreshments, saw those
if they came at all, in those chill
hours. Seeing them soon was import
ant to meeting them successfully, and
succeeded in breaking up many
chill before it did serious damage.
until the morning visit Of the Sur
geon. Also, in those walks l chose
special cases; have more than once
sat down by man and calculated in
this way:
"You may have twenty, forty years
Of useful life, II can save you; shall
certainly die one year sooner for the
labor l expend on you, but there will
be large gain in the average of life
and usefulness; and when you risked
all of your life for the country as
much mine as yours, it is but just
that should give small part of mine
to save you
Every man lived whom l elected to
life, and DR.. Kelly, who knew more
than any one else about my plans,
and on whom l most counted for aid,
has said that l saved enough to the
government In bounty money, by re-
turning men to duty who would 9th
erwise have died, to warrant it in sup
porting me the balance of my life; but
his statements could not always be re-
lied upon, for he insisted that l never
slept, hao not been asleep during the
seven weeks spent in Campbell, was
a witch and would float like a cork,
If thrown from the Long Bridge into
the Potomac.
In selecting man in desperate case
to be saved, always took his temper
ament and previous life into consider
alton. A man Of pure life and san
guine temperament was hard to kill.
Give him the excuse of good nursing
and he would live through injuries
which must be fatal to bilious, sus-
picious man, or one who had been
guilty of any excess. A tobacco chew
or or smoker died on small prOvOca'
ton. A drunkard or debauchee was
killed by scratch.
There were two ward surgeons who
disapproved of the innovation of wo.
man in Campbell, and especially of
one held to no rules. They we're both
in favor of heroic treatment, which
did not care to witness, and l spent
little time in their wards. One of them
kept a man, with two bricks tied to
his foot and hanging over the foot of
the bed, until he died, after ten days
of sleepless agony such as could not
we'll have been excelled in an Inquis-
ition; while his wife tried to comfort
him under torture she begged in
vain to have RENTED.

BAD ACCIDENT NEAR

lslesSs s.z ~ NEW LONDON
Autos Collide Last Week Monday Due
to Dense Clouds Of Smoke. /
Last Monday at about quarter to
five, q, Ford car driven by Ole Strand
crashed into another Ford car driven
by Anton Stenbakken, on dump near
the ]. A. Halvorson school house, 8
miles west of this village. In the car
with Strand were Per Oslund, In the
front seat and Mrs. Oslund in the rear
seat; and J. M. Burke, horse buyer
was in the car with Stenbakken.
Strand was taking Mr.. and Mrs. o.
lund out to the Edw. Reigstad home
near Kerkhoven, and Anton and the
h0rsebuyer were returning to New
London. It appears that some one
was burning the grass along the road
and there was so much smoke, that 1t
was impossible to see only few feet
ahead of the car.
The horse buyer was first to suspect
that there was danger ahead and STEM
bakken applied the brakes and had
barely stopped when the other ma
chine crashed into him. strand was
bumped up against the stear1ng wheel
so hard that he was rendered uncon-
scious and had one rib broken. Mr..
Oslund crashed thru the windshield
and had his face cut, but not severe
ly. Mrs. Oslund who was in the rear
seat found herself in the front seat,
head first, so quick that she did not
know how it happened, but she was
uninjured. Mr.. and Mrs. Oslund were
taken to a nearby farm house and lat
er to their destination. A telephone
message brought car out from New
London and carried the others back
to this village.
Later on the cars were towed into
the village and are now at the STEM
bakken Garage undergoing repairs. It
is estimated that each car is damaged
to the extent Of $40-New London
