SOLDIERS SENSATION
IN BATTLE

ID was recently my privilege to see,
in a single period of SO hours, all OF
the stages through which wounded
soldier of the British army passes from
the time he is brought back to the
most advanced dressing station on the
Somme until he is put aboard the hos
pital steamer for England or sent to
a convalescent depot to recuperate his
strength in France. During this short
time | saw several thousand wounded
men-with injuries all the way from
two hours old to as many weeks-and
the one thing that impressed me most
(aside of course from their magnifi-
cent courage and fortitude) was the
apparent absence among them OF poig-
nant physical suffering. :.
One of the most painfully wounded
men | saw was also one of the most
slightly wounded. A German shell
penetrated deep into the soft earth
before it exploded had driven him I'M
scathed by the explosionitself, straight
through barbed wire ENHANCEMENT.
Faring better in one respect than the
man who jumped into the bramble
bush in the nursery rhyme, he did not
scratch out both his eyes" Protect
ed as they were, by rather betting
brow, these escaped injury; and they
were about the only part OF his UNI
fortunate anatomy that did escape.
While there was not cut on him over
half an inch deep, neither were there
more than few inches Of cuticle at
any place on his body that had been
spared by the cruel barbs. Some OF
the burrows on his back and legs were
over two feet long.

tended him, Sin a tangle of the wire
and they had to cut this away before
he could be taken out. Although the
cuts were not deep, the germ-laden
earth of the Somme was so thoroughly
rubbed into them that only repeated
injections of antitoxin saved him from
blood poisoning. l have never known
human body to 'neutralize' so much
antitoxin. During the first two weeks

greater pain than any of the many
hundreds of far worse wounded men

One cannot talk long with Tommy

weird tale or another of what he has
seen happen to one of his comrades as
a result of shell explosions in the
trenches. For obvious reasons these
tales are most invariably told about
someone else; in fact, the one first

have heard was far less illuminative

the subject Of the day in all the pull

subscribe to the second issue Of Lib

was asked. He strongly emphasized
the Importance Of all the people who
can spare as much even as $50, to
buy a bond. or, in other words, to loan
the government that much to help
pay the expenses Of the war. Also,
he impressed the point that it was a
safe and paying investment.
