aboard today They had brought in six big transports, including three former German liners. Already the soldiers were marching to camp, and on board the destroyers things were being made ship-shape for the brief stay in port and then for the next ad- venture out beyond the capes, for with submarines off the port there is ceaseless vigilance, with always the chance of something happening, and everyone on the tip-toe of expecta- ton.
 The reports brought back of the last cruise were of the best. 1t had been comparatively quiet and the transports had been brought through without sign of submarine. In fact it was so promising the previous Sun day that the commander of the fleet remarked they were going to have a quiet day.
 But at nine in the morning there was an alarm, with all the gun and torpedo crews springing to their posts, and after that four successive alarms through this quiet day, though none of the alarms developed into an actual attack. It showed, however, the steady tension even when condi- tions looked best, for it was known that hostile craft had, been lurking off the beach docks near the mouth of the harbor and one of our big repair ships had been attacked as it came in a few weeks ago.
 On the big destroyers the crew IS always on watch during a convoy. There are lookouts in the crows nest high up on the foremast, far forward at the tip of the bow, at port and starboard, forward and aft. Besides there there is the gun crew watch, the depth charge watch, and the torpedo watch always on the quivive for the sound of the bell which calls it into action.

THE ARMY SURGEON.

With American Armies in the Field, Oct. 14.-(Correspondence of The As sociated Press)-War has not cal loused the sensibilities of the Ameri- can army surgeon. Nothing stands out finer or nobler than the tender care and earnest solicitude with which the American military doctors handle their soldier patients.
 In three-day trip through the St. Mihiel sector the correspondent of The Associated Press had many op- portunities of observing the work of the American medical men. He visit ed number of field dressing sta tions and also several hospitals just back of the battle line, through which hundreds of wounded Americans were passing.
 Disabled American soldiers, from the time their wounds are dressed at the advance casualty station to the time they arrive at the last base hos pital, receive the most sympathetic and tender care at the hands of the army doctors. They get better care and more attentive treatment than an average person would in peace times. To render the soldier free from pain, to make him comfortable, to cheer his spirit, the American military doc tor will exhaust every recourse, will sacrifice sleep and food and all per sonal thought of himself.
 Thousands of instances occur every day where army physicians, so ab- sorbed and so sympathetically inter- ested in their patients, will keep an anxious and unbroken vigil over the progress of their condition, and will rest only when ordered to do so by a superior officer
 Besides the use of aneasthetics the Yankee doctor, caring for his fight ing comrade only as he would care for a brother, resorts to hundred other means of relieving the wounded mans distress. In the actual battle zone he has to act as physician and nurse, for no women are permitted in the front lines. It is always impress sive to see the gentle, cautious way he places his patients in bed, the in- finite pains he takes to cause them
 
 as little suffering as possible wlfen applying or removing dressings, and how kindly and reassuringly he speaks to them.
 The ambulance drivers and stretch CT bearers spare no pains to see that the sick and wounded in transit from the front over broken French roads suffer no hardships OF discomfort.
