Count Day as NIGHT.

1.-THE New Zealanders SaIved their
consciences by counting day as night.
In this way they got one long night
of II hours In other words, they
went right through, night and day;
many instances of bravery and untir-
ing devotion to duty in the big event
might be given.
There were men who day and
night went out under shell and ma
chine gun fire time and again, and at
great risk of their own lives saved the
lives of many wounded who otherwise
would have died or been killed. Some
Of them worked continuously collect
- wounded under fire for 20 hours
at stretch. But there is no need
to multiply instances. our stretcher
bearers earned undying fame IN Gal
lipoI. The Somme enhanced the lus-
ter of their laurels.
The work of the doctors from be
ginning to end was magnificent They
do not say much about it themselves,
but those of Us who saw something of
it can estimate it at its true value,
and the estimate is very high.
AT all the advanced dressing sta
tions and aid posts they were under
fire. but they stuck to their work day
and night. with a heroisn worthy OF
rhe best traditions of British doctors
Three out of our small band lost their
lives GA the Somme."

London.-An interesting article writ

dealing with the work of the New Yea
land medical corps on the Somme has
been issued by Sir Thomas Macken-
Zie, high commissioner for New Zea-

Somme would be complete without ref

by the New Zealand medical corps. 1t
was on September Is that the corps
took over from the English division
that our troops relieved. In a Ger
man dugout at a place known to us
as Flat Iron Copse the advance
dressing station was established. 1t
was all the time under shell fire. Two
of the orderlies were killed on the
first afternoon. Several bearers were
killed in the vicinity of Thistle Alley.
another station. Others were wound
ed. One night both doctors and men
worked for hours in their gas helmets,
and that is not an easy job.
Battle Was Raging Near BY.
'"TwO thousand yards away was
Flers, about which the battle ragged for
some time. From there the bearers
had to carry uphill over sodden ground
through a fairly heavy barrage of SO
high explosives and shrapnel 1t was
a long and difficult job, but rain or
shine they never ceased their efforts.
In many cases it took six bearers five
hours to bring a wounded man from
the relay post 800 yards south of Flers.
A medical officer and i men were sent
out there. The post was no sinecure.
There it was that Major Martin and
Captain Boyle were killed. They were
splendid fellows. and very brave.
During the whole of the first week
the Germans kept up their barrage,
with a view to preventing transport
and troops getting up to Flers, but dur
ing the whole of the fighting not
| single man ever hesitated to go for
ward when required.
"Some of the bearers worked for 4S

with but little food. One who brought

wounded, but went on carrying in an

Lensch Thinks Germans will
Win War if Frontiers are Held

Dr. Lensch began his article by CONF
planning that "in one night frost
has fallen upon the nowery dreams OF
our peace prophets The frost was
the speech delivered at Leeds by the
English barrister, Asqullh." Herr
Lensch exclaims
"These people do not want any peace
by understanding; they want the
smashing Of Germany, and, with this
end IN view, declarations as TO Ger
manqs readiness for peace do not suit
their book at all.
"These declarations act no less than
our submarine war, as gradually weak
oning agencies upon the warlike tenn

Germany would be bound to emerge
the victor in the world war II a
'peace by understanding" were TO
leave her present territory practically
intact, asserts DR.. Paul Lensch, writ
ing in a recent issue Of Die Glocke, the
weekly organ OF the pro-Kaiser So
cialist majority faction, Dr. Lensch,
who is one Of the strongest defenders
IN the Reichstag Of the pro-Goyern-
ment attitude adopted at the outbreak
OF the war by the so-called scheide-
mann Socialists. backs up his conten-
tion as follows:
"Just as Frederick the Great Is
counted the victor IN the Seven Years
War because he succeeded in maintain
ing the status quo against vastly SUI
perior forces and In sticking to Slesia,
so. in this case, the Central Powers
will be counted the Victors if they
succeed in preventing any diminu-
tion in the extent Of their former from
tiers, In keeping Alsace-Lorraine, the
colonies, and Trent and Trieste. and In
refusing their enemies any Indemnity
The consequences which such a peace
would have for English world power
we have often explained II would be
for Great Britain the greatest defeat
IN its history and the beginning Of its
ruin II Is Just because people In Eng
land are well aware OF that that they
are resOlute for the war and viii hear
nothing Of a peace by understanding.
For that very reason, on the other
hand the Central Powers Will and can
press all the more perslstently for such
peace. Germany viii hav,
won the war II she does not lose II
but England viii have lost the war
she does not win IT,"
Then, as summarized by The Lon
don Times, he goes on 10 explain that
the map, as this war leaves II, Will
be nothing final, and that only in the
coming decades ''will the process of
economic and political disintegration
which this war has produced in many
countries show its effects Only then
will 1.-THE true time OF harvest" come
for Germany. The mistake OF tho
Pan Germans is not that they want
too much, but that they want every
thing at once"
In this connection Herr Lensch re-
marks.
Here the Bible saying applies, Seek
ye first the Kingdom Of God and Ills
Righteousness and all these things shall
be added unto you %
the peace by understanding which Sc
cures Germany's political independence,
Territorial integrity and economic free
dom Of development, and then Germany
will have shown herself so strong that
all these things shall be added unto
her."
Herr Lensch denounces the Pan Ger
mans on the one hand and the Social
ist anti-Kaiser minority on the other
hand, because all interference with
"thc unity between Government and
Parliament" and with Foreign Minister
Won Kuhlmann, who has preached unity
TO the Reichstag Committee in very
happy, not to say fiery, words is cal
culated to spoil the German plan.
