again taking seven or eight hours, you
may begin to get an inkling of the stu
pendous job the handling of the wounded
presented the first couple of days. Do
you wonder that badly wounded men
;ay on the battle field for twenty-four
hours or moro. Their wounds had been
dressed and they had been made as
comfortable as possible, but it was be-
yond human power to get them evacu-
ated to the rear until their turn came.
And all the time doctors, hospital corps
men and litter bearers were no more
immune to shells and bullets than any
one else and were themselves suffering
heavy casualties while their work of
mercy went on.
Even the military police were doing
their part during those days. Much as
they have been cussed by indignant
Doughboys over whose activities on pass
the NJ. P.'s exercised a restraining in
fiuence, their job was no pleasant one.
They were on duty day and night
rounding up stragglers who had gotten
lost, Strengthening out traffic tangles,
taking charge of the steady stream of
prisoners coming back from the front,
and in general helping everyone who
needed help. o.. -

lery and machine gun fire. 1t meant
