Five Kamerads walking and the sixth
borne lightly By two hefty Tommies,
they marched out through the boone
wire. It was then that somebody who
had been overlooked in the trench
threw two bombs and knocked Jimmy
out of time. Three of our fellows went
back 10 see why he had done it, but
he had wisely not waited 10 make any
explanations, so they hauled out one
of the Boche trench boards, and Jimmy
had that for a stretcher until he got
to our lines and the sunken road. Fritz
put a few rifle grenades after them and
followed up with shell or two and
some trench mortars, but he didn't
bother them much. The only people
who felt the situation at al. keenly
were the five kamerads, who were be-
ginning to develop grave fears as to
whether their gunners were going 70
allow them 10 reach safely the much
coveted sanctuary OF the divisional
cage.
This all happened in the early hours
OF the morning, and Jimmy was taken
20 a casualty clearing station on his
way 10 the base and blighty. He
should have mad much TO think about
his wounds, his new identification,
six Kamerads added to his record; yet
all ne thought about was disclosed
when he said with very elaborate
trimmings:
IF ! could only get hold of the
Brighter who did me in Id brain him."

IN THE early hours of the morning
| said good goodby to Jimmy in
- sunken road just behind the
front line. / shook him heartily by the
left hand, for the right was wounded
His left hip, too, was shattered, and
there was a lump of ragged iron tres
passing in the region of his liver. But
Jimmy did not bother overmuch about
those little things. AS the stretcher
bearers moved off he waved his good
hand wildly in farewell, and shouted
assurances that We should meet in the
Strand within the month. Always,
though, woven into his adieux and his
assurances, the burden Of his song
was:
"If could only get hold Of the
bIighter who did me in I'd brain him."
Jimmy, up to that early hour Of that
morning, was by way of being our

ished beneath my boot and left bare
md grinning skull.
Once again faintness seized me, and
lifting my head | stared around about
me and across the desolation of this
hellsh waste. Far in the distance was
the road where men moved to aud fro,
busy with picks and shovels, and some
sang and some whistled and never was
sound more welcome. Here and there
across these innumerable she'll holes
solitary figures moved, men, these. who
walked heedfully and with heads down
bent. And presently | moved on. but
now, like these distant figures, | kept
my gaze upon that awful mud lest
again / should trample heedlessly on
something that had once lived and
loved and laughed
And they lay everywhere, here stark
and stiff. with no pitiful earth to hide
their awful corruption-here, again,
half-buried in Shiny mud; more than
once my nailed boot uncovered mould
ering tunic or things more awful. And as
| trod this grisly place my pity grew
and with pity a profound wonder that
the world with its so many millions OF
reasoning minds should permit such
things to be, until remembered that
few, even the most imaginative, could
realize the true frightfulness of mod
ern notwithstanding machinery. and my
wonder changed to a passionate desire
that such things should be recorded
and known, if only in some small meas
ures; wherefor it is l write these
things.

Would Set World
Against Future War

Though have sometimes written Of
war, yet am one that hates war, one
to whom the sight Of suffering and
bloodshed causes physical pain; yet
forced myself to tread those awful
fields of death and agony, to look upon
the chastity aftermath of modern bat
tie, that, if it be possible, might, by
my testimony, in some small way help
those who know as little of war as
did once to realize the horror Of it;
that, loathing it for the hellish thing
it is, they may, one and all, set their
faces against war henceforth, with an
unsuitable determination that never
again shall it be permitted to main,
to destroy and blast out of being the
noblest works of God.
What write here set down DELHI
orately, with no idea of phrase max
ing, Of literary values or rounded pc
RODS; this is and shall be a plain, trite
statement of fact.
And now, one and all. come with me

Urges League
Against War

So now, all of you who read, sum-
mon you in the name Of our common
humanity; let US be up and doing!
Americans, Anglo-Saxons, let our COM
mon blood be a bond of brotherhood
between US henceforth, bond indis-
soluble. As you have now entered the
war, as you are now our allies, in deed
as in spirit, let this alliance endure
hereafter. Already there is talk OF
some such league. which in it's might
and unity shall secure humanity
agains. any recurrence of the evils the
world now groans under. Here is
noble purpose, and l conceive it the
duty Of each one of US, for the sake OF
those who shall come after. that we
should 90 something to further that
which was once looked upon as only
a Utopian dream-the Universal Broth
erhood of Man.
1.-THE flowers O. the forest are a. faded
away"
Far and wide they lie, struck down
in the flush Of manhood, full Of the
joyous, uaconquerable spirit of youth.
Who knows what noble ambitions once
were theirs, what splendid works they
might mot have wrought! Now they
lie, each POOR, shattered body mass
of loathsome corruption. Yet that di-
viner part that no bullet may Stay, no
steel rend or mar, has surely entered
into the fuller living, for death is but
the gateway into life and infinite pos
sibilties.
But upon all who sit immune, upon
all whom as yet this bitter war has
left untouched, is the blood Of these
that died in the cause of humanity, the
cause of freedom fer us and the gener-
atoms to come. This blood is upon
each one Of us-cOnsecrating Us to the
, task they have died TO achieve, and 1t
is our solemn duty. therefore. to see
that the wounds they suffered, the
deaths they died have not been, and
shall NOT be, in vain.

Because nobody counts for more than I.
