The other, a young fellow like
ourselves. won't have it done. One
morning the old man has the two
hauled up and lectures and jaws at
them so long, that in the end they
consent. What else could they do?
They are mere privates, and ne is
a big bug. They are brought back
chloroformed and plastered.

II Is going badly with Albert.
They have taken him and ampu-
tated his leg. The whole leg has
been taken off from the thigh. Now
he hardly speaks any more. Once
he says he will shoot himself the
first time he can get hold Of his
revolver again.
A new convoy arrives. Our room
gets two blind men. One Of them is
a very youthful musician. The sis
ters never have a knife with them
when they feed him; he has already
snatched one from a sister. But in
spite of this caution there is an
incident.
In the evening, while he is being
fed, the sister is called away, and
leaves the plate with the fork on
his table. He gropes for the fork,
seizes it and drives it with all his
force against his heart, then he
snatches up a shoe and strikes with
ii against the handle as hard as he
can. We call for help and three
men are necessary to take the fork
away from him. The blunt prongs
had already penetrated deep,
He abuses us all night so that no
one can go to sleep. In the morn
ing he has lockjaw.
Again beds become empty. Day
after day goes by with pain and
fear, groans and death-gurgles. Even
the deathroom is no use any more,
it is too small; fellows die during
the night in our room. They go
even faster than the sisters can
cope with them.
But one day the door flies open,
the fiat trolley rolls in, and there
on the stretcher, pale. thin, upright
and triumphant, with his shaggy
head of curls sits Peter.
Sister Libertine with beaming
looks pushes him over to his former
bed He is back from the dying
room. We have long supposed him
dead.
He looks round: what do you
say now?"
And even Josef has to admit that
1t is the first time he ever has
known of such a thing.

CHAPTER Xxx

GRADUALLY a few of us venture
" to stand up. And am given
crutches to hobble around on. But
I do not make much of them. I
can not bear Albert's gaze as move
about the room.
His eyes always follow me with
such a strange look. So sometimes
escape to the corridor; there I can
move about more freely.
On the next floor below are the
abdominal and spine cases, head
wounds and double amputations. On
the right side of the wing are the
jaw wounds. gas cases, nose, ear and
neck wounds.
On the left, the blind and the
lung wounds, pelvis wounds, wounds
in the joints, wounds in the intes-
tines. Here a man realizes for the

first time in how many places a man
can get hit.
Two fellows die of tetanus. Their
skin turns pale, their limbs stiffen,
at last only their eyes lve-stub-
bornly. Many of the wounded have
their shattered limbs hanging free in
the air from a gallows; underneath
the wound a basin is placed into
which the pus drips.
Every two or three hours the YES
sci is emptied. other men lie in
stretching bandages with heavy
weights hanging from the end Of the
bed. I see intestine wounds that
are constantly full Of excreta.
The surgeons clerk shows me
X-ray photographs Of completely
smashed hipbones, knees and Shout
ders.
A man cannot realize that above
such shattered bodies there are still
human faces in which life goes its
daily round. And this is only one
hospital, one single station; there
are hundreds of thousands in Ger
many, hundreds Of thousands in
France, hundreds of thousands in
Russia.
How senseless is everything that
can ever be written, done or
thought, when such things are pos
sible. 1t must all be lies and of
no account when the culture OF
thousand years could not prevent
this stream of blood being poured
out, these torture chambers in their
hundreds of thousands. A hospital
alone shows what war is.

And all men of my age, here and
over there, throughout the whole
world, see these things; all my gen.
Grafton is experiencing these things
with me.
What would our fathers do If we
suddenly stood up and came before
them and proffered our account?
What do they expect of us if a
time ever comes when the war is
over?
Through the years our business
has been killing; it was our first
calling in life. Our knowledge OF
life is limited to death. What will
happen afterwards? And what
shall come out Of us?
After a few weeks I have to go
each morning to the massage de-
partment. There my leg is har-
messed up and made to move. The
arm has healed long since.
New conveys arrive from the line.
The bandages are no longer made
of cloth, but of white crepe paper.
Rag bandageS have become scarce
at the front.
Albert's stump heals well. The
wound is almost closed. In few
weeks he should go of to an in

much more solemn than formerly.

MUgAPHA KEMAL
MAY VISIT U. S.
Turkish Presidents Health
Minister, Here on Trip,
Refuses Comment.

ny the Associated Press.
Prospects Of q visit to the United
States by GhaW Mustapha Kemal
Pasha, President of Turkey, are being
widely discussed in diplomatic circles
In connection with the visit here OF
DR.. Reflk Bey, the Turkish minister OF
public health.
DR.. Refik Bey has spent more than
two months in the United States under
the auspices of the Rockefeller Founda-
ton inspecting health and social Serv-
ice institutions. He Is now the guest
of the Turkish Ambassador, Ahmed
Mouhtar Bey, and is the first official
of the Turkish government to visit the
United States since the World War.
President Hoover has entertained the
minister at the White House and was
deeply interested in the work which
the Turkish government has done In
not only public health but other re-
forms. The President asked the min
heartiest felicitations and compliments.
Reports Of Visit Revived.
Although DR.. Reflk Bey'S visit to the
United States is not of an official char
acter in any way. it has revived the re-
ports that the Turkish President might
visit the United States some time in
the future. Several years ago PreSl-
dent Kemal made plans to visit various
European capitals and it was reported
he might come to the United States.
On account of the pressure of his WORK
at home these plans were postponed,
but since then President Kemal has
accomplished o great part of that WORK,
While Or. Refik Bey's visit has In
no way been in the nature OF sounding
out the American Government on q
possible visit of the Turkish President,
high official circles say President Kemal
would be heartily welcomed should he
come to the United States. 1t is EN-
phasized, however, that no immediate
plans for such visit have been made.
Not in Position to Comment.
DR.. Refik Bey, in reply to questions
rs to whether President Kemal would
visit the United tSates shortly, said
ne was mot In position to comment
on the matter one way or the other"
The Turkish department OF health.
under DR.. Refik Bey. has built one OF
the most modern organizations In the
East since the World War, and he looks
forward to o more extensive program
for the sending of Turkish students
of medicine to the United States as a
result Of his visit.
