How could she rest with this unsettled,

U.S.. SOLDIERS LEFT
HOSPITALS BEHIND
American Divisions Charge at
Chateau Thierry Described
by Doctor LIE Conte

American divisions at Chateau-Thier-
ry hurled themselves go swiftly against
the Germans that their hospital organi-
cations were left far behind, according
to Lieutenant Commander Robert G. lie
Conte, a naval surgeon of this city, who
has just returned home.
On July IS, 1913, described by the
surgeon as the turning point of the war,
Marshal Foch flung two American divi-
slons and one French division against
tho enemy. 1t was tho start of the AL
lied offensive, which never afterward
halted.
Those American boys moved so swift
~ and so secretly hat they went into
the fight without any Of the prepara-
ions behind the lines that are usually
made for the care and reception Of the
wounded.
1.-Two operating units from our naval
hospital at Brest were summoned by
telegraph and reached the little town in
which an ~improvised hospital had been
set up. At tina time there were already
400 wounded men waiting. Our doctors
worked eighteen hours in the tiny
operating room until others arrived to
relieve them"
Doctor lie Conte showered praise on
the Red Cross. Time n time again,
he said, 1t rendered invaluable aid to
the army and navy medical authorities.
The surgeon was attached to Navy
Base Hospital Unit No. 5, formerly the
Methodist Hospital Unit. He said It
started with $50 beds and expanded to
more than 700.

For three months Lindley cherished

Of fury because he had announced that

simply ~astounded Scott, who could not see
that from Ruth's standpoint, once a
woman was married to a man, he could
not drop in freely to see women who
used to be his friends before he was
maIried. Slowly, however, he did under
stand, that that was what was wrong,
and slowly and surely there branded
itself on his brain the fact that Ruth
was making no effort to understand his
nature. In his simple way he tried to
reason out what he could say to her
that would comfort her n yet not rob
him entirely of his dignity. The hardest
thing in the world for him to do would
be, to promise that he would not see these
friends of hers II she disapproved. He
simply could not do that

silence which was as potent as Ruth's

you could see those people. You knew
that 1 would have nothing to do with
them, so you made time in order to see
them alone"
Still not a word from Scott.
And l uppose you will pat me In
the wrong again exactly as you did last
time" Ruth sobbed out.
At this point Scott spoke. Did I put

to me voluntarily. If you want me to
quarrel with you and are waiting for
that, I'm afraid you will be disappointed.

Ruth had never met Scott's sister.
She was a little older than he was and
had married and gone West, but she had
never cherished any likelihood of caring
for her. From what scott had told her,
Alice was like his mother, positive to
