(TO BE CoNTINUED.O


The Bridge of Signs is not without
reason called by Howells "a pathetic
swfndle," and it's greatest interest is
perhaps from that much-worn line Of
Byron's, 81 stood in Venice on the
Bridge Of Sighs." 1t is commonplace
structure, which connects the ducal
palace with the carceri, or the public
prison, and spans the canal known as
the Rio della Paglia. 1t was not built
until the end of the sixteenth century,
and no romantic episode of political
Imprisonment and punishment Except
that of Antonio Foscari) occurs in
Venetian history later than that period.
None but commonplace criminals ever
crossed it when taken out of the pris-
ons to suffer death. Hence It's sig
nificant name, given by the people
from that opulence of compassion
which enables the Italians to pity even
rascality in difficulties.

not the worst, for the Inhabitants OF
the town had to endure much from
our men who had become drunk. There
were open and secret rObber1eS OF
gardens, stables and houses here and
no restrictions whatever were put on
the soldiers. There was no improve
ment in their general conduct, despite
many complaints. One family report
ed that the French had treated them
very we'll, but that our highly trained
soldiers plundered and stole. 1t was
therefore not surprising that the pop
ulation suffered want and hunger.

fering people. With two comrades,

children. Because the iron was miss
ing in our blood, we three were SEN
fenced to extra watch duty for q week
for the offense of displaying a love Of
humanity.
Our leader, Lieutenant of Reserve
Elm, declared that such thing as pity
was insanity. He said if the woman
had eight children that was her busl-
ness. Then he concluded by saying
with great emphasis: I'm war every
body looks out for themselves, even
if everything around him perishes."
Another soldier was sentenced to
serve IA days at hard labor. He was
bringing bread to hungry family and
had six small lOaves in his arms, which
he had gathered from among the SOL
diers. The same lieutenant met him,
accompanied by several nOncOmmis-
stoned officers. To the question as to
where he was going. he replied that he
was on his way to assist poor family
The review. [volume] (High Point, N.C.) 1908-19??, 1918-06-20

which had actually suffered hunger.
The lieutenant at once ordered him to
return the bread to his company. Then
he ragged and ragged at the soldier, call
Ing him fool, idiot, Hottentot, etc. But
the soldier nevertheless did not obey
and when the lieutenant Numbered a
second command to halt, the soldier
turned around and threw the bread
before the lleutenant's feet. Then he
said quietly, 81 do not wish anybody
any harm, but II you and your auto
cratic family, and the whole German
nation had to endure what the poor
Belgians are obliged to suffer, it would
be bitter but just lesson"
This man was sentenced to serve IA
days for talking back to his superior
officer. It surprised us all that he was
let off so easily.
But bitterness in the ranks greVH
and at last the many hard punishments
that were, pronounced created so much
feeling that the soldiers refused to tie
any OF their comrades.
We left Sugny the next morning and
one hour later crossed the FrancO-Bel-
gian border. Here again we were or
dered to give three cheers as we did
when our troops first crossed Germany
into Belgium. At noon we arrived at

Where Thomas Yale Rests.

In the new American army there are
many officers whose alma mater is
Yale college, and some of them regard
Wrexham, in North Wales, as a place
Of almost personal interest. For it is
there that Thomas Yale, who inaugu-
rated the great seat of American learn
ing, was buried, and it is interesting
to recall that in the early nineties

American minister in London, to plant

GERS at the point Of guns to give ur
their entire supply Of tobacco for
worthless requisition papers. These
gentlemen" later sold their tobacco
at half a mark for small packets.
Toward evening we marched off and
brought the hOw1tZers to new posi-
ton, from where the enemy's defenses
on the Meuse could be bombarded.
After a short march we encountered
and fought a French army northeast
of DOnchery. Only the enemy's rear
guard was on our side Of the Meuse.
TO it was given the duty of covering
the crossing Of the main body of the
French armies over the Mouse, which
was done near DOncherY.
The few bridges left standing were
not sufficient for the enemy to cross
as speedily as he should have. AS a
result there developed in DOnchery a
terrible fight. The French made an
enormous effort. There was a terrible
slaughter as man fought against man.
1t was one of the most fearful battles
I have ever witnessed. No one knew
afterwards how many he had killed.
Sometimes stronger men, then weaker
ones attacked. The glare from burn
ing houses turned into red the whites
Of the fighters eyes and revealed men
battling one another frothing at the
mouth.
hair, uniforms open or mostly torn,
it was bayonetting, hitting, scratching
and plunging like wild beasts for life
or death. Everybody fought for his
life. There was no quarter. Only
moaning and gasping could be heard.
Each man thought only of his own
life, of death or his home. Old memo
ries raced through the mind, pursuing
one another feverishly and yet men
grew wilder, for they now battled
new enemy-exhaustion.
But there could not yet be any let
up. Again and again there is nothing
to do but strike, stab bite, fighting
without guns or other weapons except
those provided by nature for life or
death.
The exertiOn becomes more super
human. You bite and you are victor.
But victor only for a second, for the
next antagonist is already upon you.
He has just killed one of your COM
rades. You suddenly remember that
you still have a dagger. After hasty
search you find it in it's regular place.
One, two, three and it sinks to the hilt
In the breast Of your enemy. On, on,
where there are new enemies. You
suddenly see your next antagonist be-
fore you. He is after your life. He
bites, stabs, scratches, to get you down,
to pierce your heart with his dagger
and again you use yours. Thank God,
he lies on the ground; you are saved.
But stop; you must have that dagger
back. You pull it from the breast Of
your late enemy. A stream of warm
blood shoots from the open wound in
your face. Human blood, warm hui
man blood. You shudder, terrified
only for a few seconds, for there is
another adversary. It is again neces-
sary for you to defend yourself. Again
and again the murder commences
anew. Always, and always again,
through the whole night.
At last, toward four o'clock in the
morning, the French retired across the
Meuse with the Germans storming
after them. When the bridge was full
of German soldiers, it was blown up by
the French and hundreds of Germans
found their death in the Meuse.

RED CROSS APPEAL
Campaign For Collection of Towels
Napkins And Sheets to be Opened
Tuesday at 612 King Street.

In compliance with request from
the National Headquarters of thu
American Red Cross the women con
nected with the local chapter will OF
Tuesday open a campaign here fol
the collection of bath towels, hano
towels, napkins and sheets.
The local chapter of the Red Cros:
will have headquarters at 612 King
street and will be open for the recep-
tion Of donations at II o'clock Tues
day morning and will be continued
for week.
The allotment for Alexandria will
be announced in these columns later.
The Red Cross is making this ma
tion drive and the total expected to
be collected follows: 1,250,000 bath
towels, 100000 hand towels, 1,750,-
900 napkins and $4,000 sheets.
The articles wanted should be new
or substantially new, and should be
of strong rather than fine structure.
The laundering facilities abroad
are poor and this together with
the hard and constant usuage to
which articles will be subject
ed to make it clear that we would
not be justified in using much-needed
shipping space to send over anything
but strong and durable articles. Arti
cles of very fine quality or those
which have already been put to con-
siderable use will last but a short
time and necessitate early replace,
ment.
Every article contributed will be
put to real use in hospitals, whose
equipment and facilities are being
sorely tried. We hope that every
in your section will have
a part in the shower and once again
show that the Red Cross can fill every
need for relief.
