More than once some poor soldier
has been brought into the ward in q
dying condition, resulting from loss of
blood and exhaustion caused by his
long journey from the trenches. After
an examination the doctor announces
that the only thing that will save him
is a TRANSMISSION Of blood. Where is
the blood to come from? He does not
have to wait long for an answer-sev-
eral Tommies Immediately volunteer
their blood for their mateS Three or
four are accepted; a blood test is
made, and next day the TRANSMISSION
takes place and there is another pale
face in the ward.
Whenever bone is needed for some
special operation, there are always
men willing to give some-a leg if
necessary to save some mangled mate
from being crippled for life. More
than one man will go through life with
another mans blood running through
his veins, or a piece of his rib or his
sh1nbOne in his own anatomy. Some
times he never even knows the name of
his benefactor.
The spirit Of sacrifice is wonderful.
For all the suffering caused this war
is blessing to England-it has made
new men Of her sons; has welded all
classes into one glorious whole.
And can't help saying that the doc
tors, sisters, and nurses In the English
hospitals, are angels on earth. I love
them all and can never repay the care
and kindness shown to me. For the
rest Of my life the Red Cross will be
to me the symbol Of Faith. Hope and
Charity.
After four months in the hospital, ]
went before an examining board and
was discharged from the service of his
Britannia majesty as physically unfit
for further war service"
After my discharge engaged pass
age on the American liner New York,
and after stormy trip across the At
lantic one momentous day, in the haze
of early dawn, I saw the statue of lib
erty looming over the port rail, and I
wondered if ever again I would go
"over the top with the best of luck
and give them hell"
And even then, though it may seem
strange, was really sorry not to be
back in the trenches with my mates.
War is not pink tea, but in worth
while cause like ours, mud, rats, COO
ties, shells, wounds, or death itself, are
far outweighed by the deep sense of
satisfaction felt by the man who does
his bit.
There is one thing which my ex-
perience taught me that might help the
boy who may have to go. 1t is this
anticipation is far worse than realiza-
ton. In civil life man stands in awe
of the man above him, wonders how he
could ever fill his job. When the time
comes he rises to the occasion, is up
and at it, and is surprised to find how
much more easily than he anticipated
he fills his responsibilities. It is really
so "out there"
He has nerve for the hardships; the
interest of the work grips him !; he finds
relief in the fun and comradeship of
| the trenches and wins that best sort of
happiness that comes with duty well
! done.

From this first-aid post, after inocu-
lating me with antitetanus serum to
prevent lockjaw, was put into an am
bulance and sent to a temporary hos
pital behind the lines. To reach this
hospital we had to go along a road
about five miles in length. This road
was under shell fire, for now and then
a flare would light up the sky-a ire
mendous explosion-and then the road
seemed to tremble. We did not mind,
though no doubt some of us wished

into an old disused well. But why
wasn't I wet? According to all rules
should have been drowned. Perhaps
was and didn't know it.
AS the shock of my sudden stop
gradually wore off it came to me that
was lying on ledge and that the
least movement on my part would pre-
cipitate me to the bottom of the well.
I struck a match. In it's faint glare
I saw that I was lying in a circular
hole about twelve feet deep-the well
had been filled in! The dripping had

rescuer would want to know how the
accident happened, and I would be

the returning night raiders would pass
and I could give him our usual signal
Of "siss-s-s-s," which would bring him
TO the rescue.
Every half-hour I could hear the
clock in the village strike, each stroke
bringing forth a muff1ed volley of
curses on the man who had dug the

After two hours I heard two men
