DAKOTA SOLDIER,
GASSED AT VTMY
RIDGE SPEAKER

Bullet wounds soon heal and the
soldiers are as good as ever, but gas
Is another story, according to Serg-
cant ]. F. Quigley Of St. Thomas, N.
D., 13Oth Canadian infantry, who was
''gassed in the battle of Vtmy Ridge.
He addressed a gathering at the
Knights Of Columbus hall Tuesday
evening. Sergeant Quigley, though
never a resident Of Fargo, has been
a member Of the Fargo council,
knights Of Columbus, since 1908.
Il do not believe in returned SOL
diers going around the country tell
ing of their experiences in the
trenches, said the sergeant. We
are only doing our duty as all the
other men are and as those who will
be sent there will do. But I do like
to talk about the work Of the Red
Cross.
Sergeant Quigley was discharged
from service on Jan. q Of this year.
He served in the trenches two months
and went over the top at Vimy
Ridge nearly a year ago, fell victim
to German gas, and woke up in an
army hospital in England six weeks
later.
Very few gas victims are ever re-
turned to the trenches, said the
sergeant. They really never be-
come themselves again so that the
officers dare not trust them there. Ali
victims are not affected alike. Many
of them are now in Canadian insane
asylums, others have lost their mem
ory, many are paralyzed or rendered
helpless in other ways. OF the $50
men who originally made up the
13Dth battalion Of which was a
member, there are less than $50 sur
vivors, about 100 Of these being in
German prison camps.
Don't worry about your boy in
the trenches, said the speaker to the
audience. He will live a clean life
there and he will come back a better
man than when he entered. If he
does not come back he viii have died
a hero.
