When they are getting well. the men
learn harness making. mechanical
drawing, telegraphy, gardening. poul-
try raising, typewriting, bookkeeping
and the men teach the nurses how to
make canes out of shell cases, and
rings Of aluminium, and slippers and
gloves out Of blankets. .>...
The nurses certainly work hard.
They always have more to do than
they ought to, but they never complain,
and are always cheerful and ready to
play games when they have the time,
or read to some poilu. And their work
is pretty dirty too: I would not like
to have to do it. They say there were
lots Of French society ladies working
as nurses, but you never heard much
about society. or any talk about Lord
Helpus, or Count Whosis. or pink teas
or anything like that from these
nurses.
A few shells landed near our hos.
pital, while I was there, but no patient
was hit. They knocked a shrine of Our
Lady to splinters, though. and bowled
over q big crucifix. The kitchen was
near by, and it was just the chefs luck
that he had walked over to our ward
to see pal Of his, when shell landed
plumb in the center of the kitchen,
and all you could see all over the bar
racks was stew,
That was a regular eatless day for
us, until they rigged up bogies and got
some more dixies, and mixed up some
cornmeal for US. The chef made up
for it the next day, though. The chef
was great little guy. He was a
''blesse" himself, and guess his stom-
ach sympathized with ours. vi
There was Frenchman in the bed
next to me who had the whole side of
his face torn off. He told me he had
been next to a bomber, who had just
lit a fuse and did not think it was
burning fast enough, SO he blew on It.
It burned fast enough after that, and
there he was.
There was Belgian in one of the
other wards, whom got to know pretty
well, and he would often come over
and visit me. He asked many Ques-
tions about Dixmude, for he had had
relatives there, though he had lost
track of them. He often tried to de-
scribe the house they had lived In, so
that l might tell him whether it was
still standing or not, but l could not
remember the place he spoke of. Dur
ing our talks, he told me about many
atrocities. Some Of the things he told
me I had heard before, and some OF
them I heard of afterward. Here are
some things that he either saw or
heard Of from victims:
He said that when the Germans en-
tered the town Of st. Quentin, they
started firing into the windows as they
passed along. First, after they had oc-
cupied the town. they bayoneted every
workingman they could find. Then
they took about half Of the children
that they could find. and killed them
with their musket butts. After this.

where they had lined up row OF male

men against the wall. .i

ward. 90 not remember much about
going to the hospital except that the
Ambulance made an awful racket going
over the stone-paved streets Of Etaples,
and that the bearer who picked up one
end of my stretcher, had eyes like dead
fish floating on water; also, that there
were some civvies standing around the
entrance as we were being carried In.
The first thing they do in the hos
pital is to take off your old dirty band
ages and slide your stretcher under
big electric magnet. A doctor comes
in and places his hand over your
wound, and they let down the magnet
over his hand and turn on the juice.
II the shell fragment or bullet in you
is more than seven centimeters deep,
you cannot feel the pain. The first
doctor reports to the chief how deep
your wound is. and where 1t Is situ-
ated, and then a nurse comes up to
you, where you lie, with your clothes
still on, and asks you to take the
~'pressure."
Then they lift you on four-wheeled
cart, and roll you to the operating the
ater. They take of your clothes there.
I remember I liked to look at the
nurses and surgeons; they looked so
good in their clean white clothes.
Then they stick hollow needles into
you, which hurt a good deal, and you
take the pressure: After while, they
begin cutting away the bruised and
maybe rotten flesh, removing the old
cloth, pieces of dirt, and SO forth, and
scraping away the splinters of bone.
You think for sure you are going to
bleed to death. The blood rushes
through you like lightning, and If you
get a sight Of yourself, you can feel
yourself turning pale. Then they hurry
you to your bed, and cover you over
with blankets and hot-water bottles.
They raise your bed on chairs, so the
blood will run up toward your head.
and after while, your eyes open and
the doctor says. "Oui, oui, il vivra," ,"
meaning that you still had some time
to spend before finally going west.
The treatment we got in the hospital
was great We received cigarettes, to-
bacco, matches, magazines, and clean
clothes. The men do not talk about
their wounds much, and everybody
tries to be happy and show it. The
food was fine, and there was lots Of It..
! do not think there were any doc
tors in the world better than ours, and
they were always trying to make
things easy for us. They did not rip
the dressings of your wounds like
some of the butchers do In some Of our
dispensafies that I know of, but took
them of carefully. Everything was
very clean and sanitary, and some Of
the hospitals had sun parlors. which
were we'll used, you can be sure.
Some Of the men made toys and
fancy articles, such as button hooks
and paper knives. They made the
handles from empty shell cases, or
shrapnel, or pieces Of Zeppelins, or

hands, too. ana tooR mold Of hers. And
then he twisted her wrists and broke
them. We heard the snap.
There were men in that ward who
had not been on foot since the day
they came to the hospital, and one OF
them was supposed to be dying, but It
is an absolute fact that when we heard
her scream, there was not a man LETT
in bed.
need not tell you what we did to
the, German. They did not need to
shoot him, after we got through with
him. They did shoot what was left OF
him, to make sure, though.
Now, I have heard people say that
It is not the Germans we are fighting,
but the kaiser and his system. Well,
it may be true that some Of the Boche
soldiers would not do these things IL
they did not have to: myself, am not
so sure.
But you take this doctor. Here he
was, an educated man, who had been
trained all his life to help people who

he was not where he would have to
obey the kaiser or any other German.
And this nurse had saved his life.
So do not see that there Is any
argument about it. He. broke that
girls wrists because he wanted to;
that Is all there is to it. Now, say
this German doctor was dirty cur
and scoundrel. But say that he IL

the kaiser.
1t is like going to college. I have
never been there, but have heard
some people say it did. not do q man
any good to 60. But have never
heard man who went there say that.
Probably you have not been over there,
and maybe you think we arc not fight
ing the German people, but only the
kaiser and his funkeys.
Well, nobody had better tell me that.
