She said the English were thieves,
murderers and other nice things and
informed me also that the only true
gentlemen In the world were the Prus-
SLAMS. She certainly had me aroused.
and l was going to arrest every m l
could find In the house until her daugh-
ter came in.
She saw at once how things were and
led the old lady upstairs and then ex-
planned that the Germans had taken
her two youngest sisters away and that
since that time her mother had been
insane.
It was outside Of Pradelles that we
ran into the Germans and had a long
distance scrap. We were not strong,
and we didn't know how strong they
were, SO we were not pressing them
very hard until some re-enforcements
came up. l think they were In the
same position, for they didn't try to get
to close quarters. So we kept at It all
afternoon until at night the Germans
retired, and we camped q little farther
on and waited for our main body to
come up. Our casualties numbered only
about twenty dead, and we buried them
IN the churchyard before we left.
I passed through Pradelles about two
months later, and l went into the
c~hurchyard where those chaps were
buried. The people Of the village have
ct little white crosses ct the head u
!, each grave. On each cross are the name.

When a Man Has Been Killed His Let

them are close enough to the front to
be under fire, and they are as brave as
the men when it comes to facing dan
ger.
During an aeroplane raid last fall I
had a chance to watch some of the
nurses. We had about thirty German
aeroplanes v er our encampment drop
ping bombs. As they went back to
their own lines they few over a hos
pital located in an open field. There
were huge red crosses painted on the
top Of every tent, so 1t would seem
that any mistake az to the nature OF
the camp would be impossible. Never
theless as the taubes passed over they
dropped several bombs in the hospital
and killed quite a number Of the poor
chaps who were already wounded. The
nurses worked as hard as they could
trying to quiet the rest Of the men,
and it Is no easy task, for, while a SOL
der may face almost anything when
he is well, it is a very different matter
when he is lying helpless, wounded and
in pain, on a stretcher.
I was very much interested to learn
how q mans mail vas taken care OF
when anything had happened to him.
It seemed to me that the chance of his
letters being returned before his people
could be notified was very great. On
asking about this I found that when a
man has been killed his letters are
marked KILLED" but instead of be-
ing sent directly to his people they are
returned to the war Office and are sent
from there, after the casualty has been
made known, to his relatives. In this
way many people are saved a great
deal Of premature worry and uneasi-
ness.
I shall never forget the time I saw
the Royal Horse artillery go into action.
for a more thrilling sight would be
hard to imagine. l was out alone In
the car, and I had been doing patrol
duty. I went rather closer to our dr.
ing line than I intended to, but decided
to push on until I struck the route
rationale" 80 I would have q good road
all the rest Of the way back to camp.
l had to 90 through the village Of
Dickebusch, and 40 I came to the cross
roads just outside the village a sentry
stopped me and said I could not 60 on.
