Fifth installment Chapter II (Continued.)

Our business took us to the American Ambulance men who were with the French army. Generally when they were at work they were quartered near big base hospital: and their work took them from the large hospital to tfs tlrSt aid trenches. Our way from Paris to these men led across the dew aStated area of France As the chief activity of the French at the time of our visit was in the Verdun sector. we spent the most of our first week al the front near Nerdun. And one even inC at twilight we walked through the ruined city The Germans had just finished their evening strafe; two hun dred big shells had been thrown over from their field guns into the ruins. After the two hundredth shell had dropped it was as safe in Nerdun as Tn Emporia until the next day For the Germans are methodical in all things, and they spend just so many sl els on each enemy point, and no more. The German work of destruc- ton is thorough in Verdun, Not a roof remains uncraCked: not a soul lives in the town; now and then a sen tinel may be met patrolling the wagon road that winds through the streets. This wagon road, by the way, is the object of the German artillerys atten- ton. Upon this road they think the reNitalment trains pass up to the front But the sentinels come and go The only living inhabitants we saw in the place were two black cats. It must have been a beautiful city before the war-a town of sixty thousand and more. It contained some old and in teresting Gothic ecclesiastical build ings-a cloister. a bishops residence, a school-or what not-that, even crumbled and shattered by the shells still show in ruins grace and charm and dignity And battered as these mute stones were. it seemed marvellous that mere stone could translate SC delicately the highest groping of mems hearts toward God their most unut- terable longing. And the broken stone. If the Gothic ruin. in the freshness ant rawness of their ruin. seemed to bt Bleeding out human aspiration, spillins it footlessly upon the dead earth.
 The Life That Had Gone
 And of course all about these eccle siastical ruins were the ruins of homes and shops and stores-places just al pitifully appealing in their appallinl wreck-where men had lived and loved and striven and failed and risen agai, and gone on slowly climbing through the weary centuries to the heights O grace toward which the tendrils o their hearts, pictured in the cloiste and the apse and the tower, were s blindly groping. A dust covered chro mo on a tottering wall: little round about hanging beside a broken bed, lamp revealed on a table, work benc' deserted, a store smashed and turne tC debris and left to petrify as tn shell wrecked it-a thousand little de tails of a life that had gone, the sou vanished from a town, leaving it star and deadmere wood and stone an iron-this was the Verdun that we say in the twilight after the Germans ha finished their evening strafe.
 From Verdun We hurried throug the night, past half a dozen ruine villages to a big base hospital. w came there in the dark before moon rise and met our ambulance men mostly young college boys joyousl

rose early the next morning. For some way to Henry and me there seemed a curious disquietude about those hospital beds.
 In the early morning just after dawn We saw them taking out dead from the hospital The stretcher bearers moved as quickly as they could with their burden through the yard. A dozen soldiers and orderlies were in the hos pital compound, but no one turned d
 head toward the bearers and their burden. There were indeed, in sad deed, "a dearth of womans nursing and a lack of woman's tears" No one knew who the dead man was. He wore his Identification tag about him. No one cared except that it should be reg
 istered. If he was an officer he went
 to one part of the little graveyard just outside the fence: if he was a private
 lie went inside. It was a lonely. heart
 breaking sight. And it occurred to
 Henry and me-we had been among
 the ghosts on the hill the night before
 and had slept uneasily with the ghosts
 in the hospital-that we should give enc poor fellow funeral. So we lined Up in the chill dawn. and followed the stretcher bearers and marched after some poor Frenchman to his tomb. It was probably the only funeral that the hospital yard ever had seen, for the soldiers and orderlies and attendants turned and gaped at the wonder, and
 nurses peered from the windows.
 Bombing Hospitals
 Four days later we were sitting in the courtyard of a little tavern in St Dizier. A young French soldier came up, and tried his English on us. He found that we had been to Verdun And he asked, Have you heard the | news from the big base hospital?" We ] had not. Then he told us that the night | before the German airmen had come
 to the hospital early in the night and had dropped their eggs-incendiary l bombs. An hour later they came ano | dropped some high explosives. They came again at midnight and because there were no aircraft guns neal

 Setember German raids never hae dreamed that hospitals would be raidec they came again sweeping low ant turned their machine guns on the doc. l tors and nurses in the compound wh, were taking the wounded out of thu l burning building. Then toward morn ing they came and dropped handbill
 which declared, If you don't want you hospitals bombed. move them bacl further from the front!"
 The Germans were not acting in tn reat of passion. They were fightini scientifically, even if barbarously. Flo every mile a hospital is moved bac of the line makes it that much harde to stop gangrene in the wounded. An

MACK GARDNER HOME

Mack Gardner "Arizona's Diamond King" returned yesterday from a two months vacation and business trip. looking remarkably fit and full of enthusiasm. While away Gardner vis- 'ited the eastern diamond markets. as well as calling on friends and relatives in the east. and also spent considerable time at Murrietta Hot Springs.
 No matter where you go though" said Gardner. it always seems good to get home and I saw no place while was gone that looked as good to me as Phoenix. Business conditions gen. erally are good and there are no ap- prehensions felt anywhere as to busi- ness for the coming winter. I heard it freely predicted that the fourth Lib erty loan, soon to be launched. would be a great deal oversubscribed and that there would be more individual subscribers than there were on any of the previous loans."

After one o'clock the bombine stop-

After one o'clock the bombing stop ped. Some other cross road was talk ing it's turn. Five men were buried that night in the little cemetery there Dy the dugout. We stood or sat about for a while, no one had much to say The grey mist thckened and enveloped us. And We became very shadows our selves. Somewhere in the mist up the hill, near where the rockets red glare flashed on the dim horizon, a man be- lsan whistliDg the intermezzo from "Thais." It fitted the unreality of the scene, and soon two of us were whistl- ing together. He heard me and paused,
 The Gilded Youth
 Then We walked toward one an- ether whistling and met. It was the Gilded Youth from the ship-the Gilded Youth whose many millions had made him simmer. He was not shimmering there on the sloppy hill- side. He was a field service man, and We went back to his machine and sat on it and talked music-music that seemed to be the only reality there in the midst of death, and the spirit that was moving men in the moonlight to forget death for something more real than death. And so it came about tha, | tEe crescendo of our talk ran thus: And courage-that thing which the Germans thought was their special gift from Heaven, bred of military discipline, rising out of | German kultur-we know now i. the commonest heritage of men. | It is the divine fire burning in the souls of us that proves the case for l democracy. For at base and un- l derneath we are all equals. In crisis the rich man, the poor man, the | thief. the harlot. the preacher. the
 teacher, the labourer. the ignorant,
 the wise, all go to death for some. | thing that defies death, something immortal in the human heart. | Those truck drivers, those mule | whackers. those common soldiers, | that doctor. these college men on
 the ambulances are brothers to- | night in the democracy of courage. | Upon that democracy is the hope
 of the race, for it bespeaks wide ! and deeper kinship of men.
 | So then we knew that under tn
 gliding of the Gilded Youth was fin

the wounded were bandaged before starting them down the hill in the ambulance to the hospital, and three doctors and half a dozen stretcher bearers were standing inside out of the misty rain.
 Under Shell Fire
 AS we had been climbing the hill in the ambulance, the roar of the big guns grew louder and louder. We believed it was French cannon. But when we got out of the car we heard an angry whistle and a roar which told us that German shells were coming in near us. AS we stood before the dugout shiver- ing in the mist we saw beyond us. over the hill. the glare of the French trench rockets lighting up the clouds above us weirdly and spreading sick ly glow over the white muddy road before us. On the road skirting the very door of the dugout passed a line of motor trucks and carts-the revital- ment train. The mist walled us in. Every few seconds out of the mist came huge grey truck or a numbering two wheeled cart; and then. crealeing heavily past the dugout door, plunged into the mist again. Never did the procession stop. At regular intervals the German shells crashed into the woods farther up the hill beyond us But the silent procession before us looming out of the mist, passing on and fading into the mist, kept con- stantly moving. In the ghostly light of the misty moonshine, the procession seemed to be spectral-like a line of passing souls.
 The Shrouding Mist
 A doctor came out of the dugout and started up the hill. He, too, was swallowed in the mist Ahead of us uE the road were noises that told Us the Germans were landing bombs there not half mile-perhaps not much more than a quarter of a mile away The stretcher bearers told us that the Germans were shelling a cross road They shelled it every night at mid night to smash the revitalment train The shells were landing right in tho road whereon all these trucks anC horsecarts were passing. The doctor who left us returned in a few minutes in an ambulance-wounded. Anothe1 | ambulance came up with four or fivt wounded. A shell had crashed in anc wiped out truck load of men. Bu the procession under the misty moor never stopped-never even hesitated No driver spoke. No teams or truck cluttered up the road As fast as bomb shattered the road out there be | hind the mist, or made debris of
 truck, the engineers hurried up. cleare' the way. removed the debris and tn
 ceaseless procession in the ghostl moonlight moved on. Another am bulance brought in two more wounded

Farnum Is Coming in
 Great Fox Production.

From an outlaw with a price on his head, to a 100 per cent. citizen is the character portrayed by Dus- tin Farnum, famous star of stage and screen, in the latest William Fox photoplay, "Durand of the Bad Lands" to be shown at the Palace theatre beginning tomorrow
 In this screen drama, MT. Far mum shows all the virile energy for which he is so we'll known. His portrayal of the bad side of Dick Durands character is the best he has done and, he shows the mans S softer, nobler instincts with that care-free, rollicking, laughter dis position that has made him a fa- vorite wherever he has appeared.
 He saves three kids from Indians who massacre everyone else in the settlement. He is blamed for the killings, is caught, tried and con- victed. But the governor, whose daughter he has saved, pardons him. Long before he had fallen in love and the girls fondness for him turns him into an A-No. 1 man. MT. Farnum's bodyhood life on a farm comes in handy to him in this picture-milking cows partic- ularly.
