AMBULANCE MEN TAKE
BIG RISKS; THEY HEAD
THE CASUALTY LISTS

Purple and white hat cords are
drawing good deal Of satirical rail
lery, sometimes trenchant sarcasm.

medical department, says an ambu.
lance man. 1t Is not the purpose here
to hold brief for the "conchy," as he
IS known in Britain, beyond to point
out that he is often, some Of them at
least, acting from religious convic-
t!ons-maybe in mistaken attitude-as
from, as some Of them do, sense Of
safety first. More, 1t Is the aim to
direct attention to the need for a fur
tner discrimination, insofar as men In
ambulance companies, as distinct from
those in base hospitals, are concerned.
A paragraph in the Scientific
american, published in the summer OF
lSl7 in the aviation column remarked
that' contrary to accepted belief, avia-
tors did not suffer worst at the war
front, coming fourth in the proportion
OF casualties. The order being am
bulance men first, then infantry, ar
tillery, aviation.
Many ambulance men are yolun,

OF the foregoing down to the definite
information that ambulance losses
were around 70 per cent. This aver

greater care being taken of the am

WHEN THEY COME BACK

(By Alison Brown Of the vigilantes. !
They will come back, Americas brave
sons,
From war torn fields, when victory
and peace
Have stilled the angry thunder of the
guns,
And brought to suffering hearts q
quick release.
They will come back from anguish
deep, and strife,
From sights and sounds that only
they could know,
Back to the fulness Of richer life
The great reward because they
chose to CO.
They will have felt the flames of
cleansing fires
Have passed the tests that try the
hearts Of men,
Have learned in sacrifice of dear de-
sires,
That souls can rise to splendid
|. heights again.
They will have proved that wrong can
hold no sway,
Have seen the darkness change to
radiant light,
Have felt the presence, "Lo,-with
you Away"
And heard His voice in silences at
night.
And we who wait and pray for them
at home,
May one great prayer in soul and
spirit burn;
That we may keep the faith until they
come,
, Be not unworthy Of a bright re-
Jurn,-
A prayer expressed in every deed and
thought,
In every task of willing heart and
hand
A purpose out of pure desire
wrought
To learn of them and some day un-
derstand.
