FINDING THEMSELVES. BY Julia C.

These are merely letters back home

and begins. Dearest Mother and
Dad" The last one was written in
April of the current year. Between
these two points are the daily happen
ings in hospitals among the dead and
dying and wounded soldiers as they
are brought in from the battle front.
Books of this sort have multiplied to
an unbelievable degree during the
course of the war, but there are only
a few of just this kind of book. 1t
is so clearly a record of fact. there is
SO perfect a freedom from any desire
to dramatize the scenes, 1t Is all SO
simple, so homespun, so to speak. that
one at no time Is led away from the
bare facts themselves as they advance
here in a supreme appeal to pity and
sympathy and pride, in which the
wounded soldiers and the heroic and
splendid attendants come In for equal
share. Behind these unpretentious
stories one senses a very dependable
and competent person. This impress
sion is borne out by the fact that a
recent paper tells Of the promotion OF
this writer to be the chief nurse of all
the American expeditionary forces.
The book reads exactly like that Its
writer might be promoted by the
spirit Of this account alone.
