Returning Soldiers Get Roy
al Welcome as They Are
Borne from Trains
MANY SOLDIERS ARE
WOUNDED IN LEGS
Colonel of Artillery Explains This by
Saying German Soldiers Always Fired
with the Rifle at Hip and Never from
Cboullar

LONDON, April l, Correspondence-
The arrival of the wounded from the front
at the two big railroad stations in London
has attracted large crowds during the
last two weeks When the German often
sive commenced on March y the British
field and base hospitals in France were
evacuated Immediately and all patients
sent across to England.
The first train with wounded direct
from the front arrived in London on Sat
urday, March %, in the afternoon, and
thousands of persons, mostly women
stood outside the station to watch the
ambulances arrive and depart. The sol
diers appeared to be mostly young mer
who had been wounded in the legs Thi.
was explained by a colonel OF artillery
who said that the German soldiers Away.

When the ambulanees came slowl,
through the archway each containing fou
wounded men, the onlookers threw fresl
spring flowers at them which caused

drawn by the suffering on the long Jour
ney by steamer and train. Others waved
their handkerchiefs and shouted out words
of encouragement to their gallant country
men.
Some persons who could not get near
enough to the ambuiances gave money to-
the flower girls and they from their po-
sition at the side of the narrow roadway
leading from the station, were able to
pitch their fragrant blossoms right OH to
the mems cots.
The arrangements for handling the
wounded and transferring them to the
various hospitals are carried out by the
British Red Cross without hitch. Long
before the train arrives from the Channel
port the streets near the railway station
and its approaches are packed with ambu-
lances, some driven by young women,
| but chiefly by men unfit for active service.
Each ambulance has two bearers to carry
the wounded from the train. The long
platform is cleared of all but the uni
formed Red Cross doctors, nurses, and
attendants Is minutes before the train
is due to arrive.
The Y NJ c. A. does its share by hay
ing stand where hot tea, coffee, OF
Ibouilon and sandwiches are ready for the
soldiers who are able to swallow any re
freshments.
The train which | saw arrive at ! O'Clock
| this morning had formerly been IA boat
train on the London & North Western
railway, with corridor cars and diner
: which had conveyed, the guard said, thou
t sands of Americans to and from Liverpool
fbefore the war It was still marked l.

on the white background of each car.

The Fourth Liberty loan is over, COW
for little politics. What is needed in
the governors chair of Colorado is a
man with foot big enough to give
those seeking special privileges swift
kick. The governors that the Demo-
cratic party have placed in this high
position for the past few years seem
to have lacked the foot power. Gov
ernor Ammons failed because he lacked
the foot power to give organized labor
the proper jolt, and Governor Gunter
lost the confidence of the people because
he did not land on organized special
interests and profiteers as he should
have done. Both of these men are
gentlemen and scholars but they lack
the foot power. We believe that the
Democratic party, in the person of
Tom lyman, has candidate that will
not only be elected, but when he takes
up his duties as governor of this great
state will be governor. We don't be-
lieve that organized capital, or organ
lied labor, The Denver Post or The
Dolores Star will dictate to him how
to conduct the affairs of his office.
We believe Toms foot is just the right
size to make good governor.

The following is from a letter Bryan
Morrison wrote to John and Jess:
Our outfit was issued this morning.
1t is a kind of pack outfit and is car
ried on the back. They will hold
nearly anything you want to put in
them. Hope we never have to pack
much in them.
We are also taking gas mask train
ing. You ought to see a fellow in one.
They look like the head dress to a div
ing suit A clip goes on your nose so
you can't breathe through it and Il
thing goes in your mouth that about
takes up all the room in your mouth,
and you breath through it, the rest of
it covers your face like a large mask
with large glass lenses for your eyes.
Then there is rubber hose from the
mouth piece TO bag or canvas covered
tin box on your chest. This box is
where the gas is taken from the air by
some kind of lime solution. Just eX-
actly what it does | don't know,
but they sure do work. 1t is pretty
hard to breathe through one of them at
first until fellow gets used to them.
There are contests here to see who can
get his mask on first, so the men will
learn to put them on quick as the gas
is label to tip you over if you get a
good whiff of it. The gas is the worst
thing the soldiers across the creek have
to contend with, because if your mask
gets hole shot in it or gets torn
while there is a gas cloud on you are
