hostess on a Christmas dinner at which
he had assisted.
TT was a model Christmas dinner"
said DR.. Jowett. Very different was
that Christmas dinner which Lord Pol
kemmet, a Scottish earl, once gave.
When the covers were removed from
the various dishes at this dinner the
guests were surprised and disappoint-
ed to find that the menu consisted OF
veal broth, a roast fillet of veal. veal

dish composed of veaD, calf's head

the main road along lanes impossible
for the ambulances.
That is the point in the journey
where the American ambulances take
up the transportation, either at the
second line dugout or along the roads
in their vicinity. This trip is made
in company with private nom
commissioned officer from the hos
pitaI corps that has charge of the ter
ritory, to give the American drivers,
who go as civilians and not part of
the military forces, right of way
through the lines.
THE wounded man is brought back
to the field hospital, where the ambu-
lances are stationed, and there he gets
his first real medical attention. The
hospitals are in charge of three or
more surgeons of officers rank, assist
ed often by young men who were medi-
cal students before the war and have
gone into the army as non commission
ed officers. From fifteen to thirty
stretcher bearers-privates in the hos
pital corps-are also attached to each
field hospital, to load and unload the
ambulances and care for the wounded
through the day and night.
THE work which the American Am
bulance does at the front consists
purely In transporting the wounded.
as directed by the French officers. and
has nothing to do with the operation
of the hospitals as such. Each squad
consists of about twenty cars, practi-
cally all of them shipped from America
and fitted with ambulance bodies in
Paris. They carry three lying or four
sitting cases and do work that no other
automobile ambulances are fitted for.
The work that our squad started in
to do just after 1 reported on it for duty
and that we were at during the whole
time ! was in that section was never
even attempted by any of the other
automobile ambulances that had served
there before us. The roads were con-
sidered impassable by their heavy.
though commodious cars, and bringing
the wounded in from the trenches had
been left to horse-drawn amoulances
Our machines, of course. made the trips
within from half to a quarter Of the
time and were just that much more
efficient than the best of the French
had been able to do for themselves.
Though the officers did not hesitate
to call on US in emergencies, their del

ing sentry. for instance, we could
usually count on to exercise cor1mon
sight we could count with just as much
certainty on his delaying us ten or
fifteen minutes to read all our papers
(Which were in French and he usually
didn't understand) and then letting US
go with an intimation that he felt cer-
tain we were enemy spies. but didn't
have time to bother with our case.
With the Belgian army and military
police, on the other hand. the Ameri-
cans practically never had difficulties,
though they were as constantly in their
territory as in that of the English. As
soon as Belgian or Frenchman un-
derstood what the volunteers were do
ing in their country they never had
anything but praise for the ambulance
and the spirit of the men in it, and
what remained of the civilian popula-
ton seemed to have the same attitude.
Before being sent to the front the
volunteers who go over usually spend a
few weeks on the American Ambulance's
Paris squad which helps move the
wounded who are brought back to Paris
on the railroads from the stations to the
hospitals around the city. / served a
month as orderly on one of the big am
balances engaged on this service TO get
to taking instructions in their language.
THE trains of wounded arrive at any
hour Of the day or night, and are seldom
announced more than an hour or SO be-
fore their arrival. which requires the am
bulance men to be on duty, or subject to
call. twenty-four hours in the day. On
the occasion of the combined French and
British drive around Ypres and in the
Champagne many of them worked as
much as forty-eight hours without rest
or sleep. The trains poured in I'm a con-
tinuous stream and choked the station
and the city's ambulance facilities far be-
yond their capacity.
1T was on this occasion that the Amer
ican drivers, who had pitched in to help
get the trains unloaded. caught the eye Of
the military authorities in charge OF the
work, and were requested to take entire
charge of unloading all the trains that ar
rive at La Chapelle, the biggest station in
Paris They consented at once, and have
been doing that work ever SINCE in adj
dition to driving their ambulances."

forts to strike at Suez. and "a small
the right bank of the canal. on the
ancient caravan route between Syria
and Egypt, but they were unable to
penetrate the British defenses of the
canal, and had to fall back.
German operation of the Syrian rail-
ways as a means of military transport
is likely to be more systematic and
efficient than that of Turkey. The
advantage to Germany is in the means
of neutralizing the allies sea control
of the ports of Syria and Palestine
proper.
railway spur runs from Alexan-
dretta, on the gulf of the same name, to
Aleppo. A more important railway line
is that Of Beirut to Damascus, a dis
tance of a hundred miles. across the
Lebanon mountain range. Beirut is
to Syria what Smyrna is to the Aegean
section of Asia Minor. 1t is a great
reserve resource. Americans know it
pretty well, both from the American
College located there and from the
large number of Syrians in the United
States who consider it their home port.
On the line from Beirut to Damas-
Gus a short branch runs to Baalbek,
whose ruins are still the puzzle of
Psychologists. Years ago the Germans
got a monopoly of excavating at Baal-
bek. Some wachful Englishmen even
then insisted that there was a sinister
purpose in these excavations, and that
1t was another means of Germany in
trenching herself.
The methodical German archeolo-
gists were not disturbed by these
charges, and went on with their ex-
cavations. They have not solved the
problems of ancient masonry which the
ruins of Baalbek, including the biggest
stone in the world, present, but they
have made valuable contributions to
human knowledge, and it is possible
that war activities have not even sus-
pended their work.
In the military sense, the railway
line from Haifa, under the lee of Mount
Carmel, of the junction of Delera, on
the Holy railway south of Damascus, is
likely to be as valuable as any of the
other lines from the coast to the in
terror. This line was built by German
engineers and is noted for it's sub
stantial construction. American rails
were used for part of it. 1t traverses
some productive territory.

The isolated branch from Joppa, or
Jaffa, to Jerusalem, is of some strategic
value, but it does not bring that Sec
