They brought the unfortunate man
to me- His abdomen had been pierced
by bullet and he had only few more
hours to live. Moreover, he had lost
consciousness while being carried in. I
administered an injection of caffein and

shall never forget-a look full of
atloclous anguish, but at the same time
of infinite gratitude Then he said. in

I WAS Marlis, the surgeon major

years service on the Alsace front,

words, without adding anything to them.
II have no need to describe to you
what this war has been on the SUBMITS
of the Vosges, at an altitude of 600
feet, and what it will be soon, when we
descend into the valley of the Rhine |
suppose you know that we fought in the
woods, in the cold and the snow In four
years we advanced hardly half a klo-
metre, and were never driven back more
than that. Nowhere, save at certain
points on the Verdun front and near
Arras in 1915, were the trenches so close

talon of Alpins, in little hospital,
three-quarters sunk into the ground,
rooted over with trunks of trees, on
which a covering of earth was spread.
Every day they brought me two or three
men, usually wounded by shell fire, rare
ly by bullets.
Ono morning-or, rather, one night,
for the fighting there is generally done
before dawn-the Boches made an at
tack. They succeeded in clearing the
trough of the valley. They cut our first
line of barbed wire and got footing
on the slope. But they were driven back
by our rife and machine gun fire to
their starting point, and lost many men.
They left a wounded man suspended
in our barbed wire entanglements--

But that was not all. 1t went fur
ther back His grudge was more ancient
and stronger. This Friedrich Weckel,
of Zwickau, died in the night The
next morning [ began to decipher his
notebook. | found there the prose poem
which follows:
Near the spring-near the spring
which flows out from the grasses-in
my own country, in the old beech wood,
met my we'll beloved. My beloved of
long ago.
And she had the same smile as be-
fore. She took my hand in her hands
as before, and said to me: "You love
me, don't you, as you used to do?"
And Ii answered: "Of what use
are these eternal oaths? 1t is war.
DO you believe that can love always?
The dead do not love- I shall be
killed tomorrow And tomorrow Won
will forget me-"
She wept-my we'll beloved All,
how she wept! Then she asked: eff
NV AoNS EOu WN6n YOU are
gone, whom shall l love? For-I
swear it could not love anv one
but you"
And | said to her: at seems so
to you! But, for the rest, it makes
little difference. In what wav can
mfldelity matter to the dead? All that
l ask of you is not to love, but to
hate. To hate those who have killed
me and who have assassinated the Ger
man Fatherland-our rich, proud and
peaceable Germany. But do not 90
to seek them where I have fallen.
They are all about you.'
This is what was in the notebool, Of
Friedrich Weckel," Marlis concluded.
And if tell you this story it is that
you may comprehend that even eighteen
months ago there lurl1ed in Germany. in
certain souls, deep bitterness and burn
ing resentments."

didn't need pair Of glasses to distin-
guish that; he was so close to us.
II thought at first that his company
would come to look for him. If he had
been an officer or even a feldwebel,
am persuaded that they would have done
so, under orders. We should have in
terposed no obstacle, for his cries cut
US to the quick. But he was only a
private, without stripes-human ma
terial-and the Boche command cares
for It's human material only as you care
for your money. They want to spend
it to the best advantage. Thev made
this calculation, | imagine: If we at
tempt to rescue him the French will fire
on us. We shall lose three or four men
trying to save one. That is bad busi
ness
The man, therefore, remained there
all day and all night and all the follow
ing day, never stopping his groaning
and calling, although his voice was be-
coming weaker and weaker.
The second night some of our Alpins
went out to release him. Our men are
made Of different stuff from the Ger
mans, and their chiefs would have
biushed to forbid them this imprudence.
Those cries, those horrible groanings,
prevented them from sleeping. Yes. we
nave more nerves than the Germans
have-which is only another way of saw
ing that we have more heart.

REDUCING THE COST OF
HORSE WORK ON FARMS

A DAYS work of two-horse team
coats the farmer more than a days
work of hired man, and yet, the high
cost of team work worries the average
farmer less than the high wages paid
the hired man.
The chief reason for the high cost
of horse labor on Kentucky farms is
the large amount of time that horses
do not work. Kentucky farmers pro-
badly get on an average less than
1000 hours of work per horse in year
This is less than 100 days of 10 hours
ZACH. Some farmers get less than Is
avs for an average, or less than 2ha
\ ours per day for each work horse
The best organized farms get twice
this average and thereby cut the cost
Of their team labor in two.
Work stock ought not to stand idle
a single hour IL it can be avoided. Al
such times as they cannot be used
probably at home they should be
hired out II possible. They cannot Of
course be kept at work ten hours a
Cay, six days in the week, for So weeks
In the year, but that ought to be the
ideal"
How some of the best Kentucky
farmers are saving money on horse
labor:
1. BY planning the farm work witt
a view Of economizing horse labor az
