Amigo mio, observe que su

ior lehitivo para sobrellevar su

esa inquietud que 10 sobresalta

mirarme intensamente, y sOnrlen-
do de un modo casi despreciatiyo,
me contesta:
-"Fuerza de voluntad para So
breponerse !:-desabrocha ell uni

DIDO Y VISTO

La atr0pellada y penosa trasla
cion de enfermos Y heridos al hos
pital que Sc habfa improvisado
con la premura que el case reque-
ria en- ell Teatro Yaguez, semejaba
al macabro acarreo de muertos Ell
las trincheras de las naciones en-
guerra, haeia la fosa comiin de an.
temano cabada, y en- Ia cual han
de recibir ignorada sepultura, los
heroes de la tragica y sangrienta
jornada eUropea.
La persistente lluvia, nos obliga
refugiarnos en- ell improvisado
hospital Yagiiez; -ocupap los re
ducidos espacios divididos y des-
tinados a palcos, eli la parte alta,
las camas destinadas al seXO fe-
menino; los de la planta baja,
ocdpanla los hombres.
Las dos secciones en- que fue di-
vidido el hospital Yagiez, estan
atcndidas por pedicos miiitares,
pertenecientes al Campamento
Las Casas; Y atienden tambien a
los visitantes, con delicadeza y CO
rrecci0n.
Entire los enfermos de la planta
baia, Observamos a un pobre hOm-
bre de viva mirada, desencajado
V exccsivamente palido el rostro,
barba un tanto luenga Y desma-
dejada, que mostraba desesperan-
tie impaciencia; nos acercamos a
su improvisada cama,-un colchon
mctalico provisto de la indispen-
sable ropa y colchoneta, sobre
cuatro sillas-,y y despues de con-
templarlo .unos momentos, le pre-
guntamos la causa de su visible
intranquilidad. El enfermo nos
abarca con una mirada penetrante
V escudrinadora, retardando algo
su respuesta; al fin, con una voz
debil y .pausadas palabras, nos di-
ce: "Usted no debe ser de aqu1,
sc lie conoce. ;. Lo que usted OBJ
serya en- mi, no es intranquilidad,
es algo mas; es Ell una palabra,
desesperaci6n.
-Pero es que el tratol que us
ted lie dispensaban Ell el hospital
Municipal, no respondfa a 10 que
su delicada enfermedad reclama
"Trato, mejor peor atenci6n
mi que mas me da... ST al fin,
bien sea aqul o en- otra cualquiera
