as talked quietly and soothingIy to him. Suddenly crack roar For a ! moment 1 did not realize what had happened. 1 was wounded again. and when my Lrain cleared and saw that Dave was seriously hurt. He had a score of wounds, any one fatal but his worst and ! know you ant to know all was his right les. J was practi- cally shot off. I stopped the flow of blood, and as there was q large dress ing station near I had him taken there. l You must understand that only three or four minutes elapsed from the time the shell b';rst and he was hit until I had doctor caring for him. The 1 shell killed four men instantly. 1 "The doctor said he could live but @ few minutes. The shock was so great that he felt no pain. He was not aware of what he was saying, but i I caught almost all of what he said. 1 He spoke of his life at home, of how happy he had been and of his mother. He said he was not sorry to die for his country and that he knew the Hun would be beaten. He suddenly became conscious and said: Goodbye Harry; i tell the folks not to grieve for me and died. I had to go on. but 1 made the i officers at the dressing station promise
 to give him the full military burial i with all the honors.
 The loss Of your son and brother is
 a great one. I know. But if there is
 a place we refer to as heaven, Dave is there He is looking down upon you
 all and his spirit is happy. He does not want you to grieve for him, but to glory in his sacrifice He gave up his hearts should be full to overffowing
 with pride that one of your family made the supreme sacrifice in the cause of liberty and democracy"
