 I see the men near me trudging along weariIy, so tired and hot that they can hardly drag one foot after another. Some of them are drinking hot water out of canteens that have been pumping against their hot bodies in the hot sun. Some of them are leaning on the shoulders of others. All Of them are wondering how much longer this terrible business will last, -tFais business of choking with dust when on the move and butchering when called to halt.

OLD SOLDIER. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT, as you limp along trying to keep step with the other march rs?-there are not so many as were in line last Decoration Day.
 Are you thinking of the handclap- ping and the cheering that sound out above the piping of the ffes1and the coughing of the drums; of the music of the band which sits back from the head of the parade?
 Are you thinking of how fine it will be to sit in the shade and light your pipe when the march is ended; how pleasant it will be to have someone who loves you bring a pitcher of cold water and a glass? Are you thinking of the grave upon which you will lay the flowers you hold in your right hand? Of the one who sleeps in that grave; who fell at your side in the fight?
 N Old Soldier, what are you thinking about7
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-05-29

I ann thinking of all the suffering and all the terrors by day and by night; of all the pain and the bleeding, the fear and the thirsttng that grew out of those four years.
 am thinking how it was to sleep in wet blanket out under the drip ping clouds and of how it was to drink stagnant water and of how it was to see men drop down all around you. I am thinking of the Eroans and the last messages and the curses and prayers
 ann wondering if in years to come those little boys on the pavement will ever have to go through all that we went through, or whether men are growing into the great sensibleness Of peace

next day, he testified, defendant came
to him and said he "had given him a
terrible shock Defendant stated to

Witness SAID, you don't mean to tell
me Philip Jenkins is having financial
trouhles,' to which defendant
answered, evasively, you'll hear
