The pages tell of wounded men smashed In body but whole In spirit, who, without flinching, have faced the Huns and emerged heroes. There are four short poems and four sketches in prose to attract us. The first sketch, "The Road to Blighty," tells of the experience of our author who waa wounded In his right arm in June, 1917, In the fight before Lens, and it was feared at first that the Injured arm might require amputation. but this waa happily avoided. It la Impossible not to admire the sturdy courage that Uvea again on these pages, the determination of this Canadian officer of artillery "to see it through," so that the world and its civilization may be saved from the Huns.

The young man is a Lieutenant In the British army, and ts Just recovering from In juries sustained in battle. He Is an aviator, and succeeded in bringing down two enemy aeroplanes while in service. The young man Is now re cuperating at Barbadors. The following is an interesting let ter written by Mrs. Bealey: "When the news came that Germany waa violating Belgium and insulting France we held our breath with anxiety until England, too, took up the cause of humanity and civilization. After the news came that our beloved England was at war with the unspeak able Germans, all of us who had sons . . ...

Walter started on Sunday night for no-land. At that time they would not allow a Britisher to pass through the United States in uniform. Smaller Countries Fearful. "We Renlev and myself left on the following Tuesday via New York, and the Holland-American liner Rotterdam. While going over we talked to tne nnm,liitfr. I asked' him why Holland did not Join the allies. He replied, "We are- such a small country, we are iraiu nf Germany, and besides the Prince conanrt is German. Why." he said, there are three million dollars' worth of wheat in the hold of this ship right now bound for Germany. wnen j heard that mv heart leaped within me. How could we get that wheat for Eng land? I told my husband, and at his ue'irestion I wrote to the war unice, wranned it with a ten-dollar bill, and placed it around a beer oome ".ginger- beer rather), and while we were anchored in Falmouth waiting for the tender, it grew pitch dark. W were Informed that we could not go ashore that night, but the tug would'come out with letters, papers, etc. As I stood and leaned over tne ran I droDDed my ginger-beer bottle over board, and as the tug came alongside of our vessel I called out: 'Keep this money, but telegraph this message to the W. O.' Some sailor answered 'Aye, aye.' I did not sleep that night, and at & o'clock we went up on deck. To my delight we were summoned by British destroyers. At 10 o'clock the passengers were taken off by the tender and before we had finished with the customs they were taking wheat off from the boat. That was the last trip of the Rotterdam, unless she has made a trip within the last few months. Sob Visited In England. "We arrived in England a few days before my son arrived. He did not know we were there. He waa surprised to find us chatting with friends in the lobby of the hotel. My son received a letter to Lord Kitchener from an uncle. who had been through South Africa with Kitchener. Walter saw Kitchener and asked to be placed In the regular army. He was immediately given a Second Lieutenancy in the Prince of Walea North Staffordshire Regiment, stationed at that time in the Island of Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands. He took his training, then was put to training 'rookies' for six months. Hs was later attached to the Royal Flying Corps, and was trained at Gasport, Ox ford, Reading and Joyce Green, tn Eng land. He was an instructor in the R. F. C. for months and then was sent to the Ypres neighborhood in France as a acout. While scouting over the German lines he was attacked by five German ma-1 ' If-!--- V . -! i - w- f MRS. ROBERT J. BEALEY. chines, but he brought two of these down, and was wounded. We received a cable from the War Office, saying: Wounded in the forehead and con cussion. I started as soon as possible via New York, waited a week for a steamer, and went over in a convoy of ten ships. These chips carried 15,000 soldiers. There were 400 officers on the ship, and some of the finest speci mens of young American manhood I ever saw. We were 17 days and a half reaching Liverpool. All civilians were held on the ship until the military disembarked. London Sights Enjoyed. T reached London at 6:30 o'clock. There waa no one to meet me, but I went to a hotel, and was at th tele phone trying to reach my son when I looked through a glass door and saw him coming towards me. The relief to see him alive and able to "hobble" about, only a mother can realize. I gave up all work and devoted myself to his care. 'We used to go about London to gether, and some of the scenes we wit nessed we shall never forget. One night when the alarm, or as the Eng lish say, 'maroon' came, we went into a tube station for shelter. There were thousands of Jews, Russians, Germans and people of every nationality on earth, except English and Americans, crowded into these tube stations. Some of the people brought their mattresses and spent the night with their families in these places. We were crowded like rats, and the odor was stifling. We never went into these places again. We decided that we would take our obanc of being killed in our own rooms or in the open. 'We went up to the Westminister one day, and lo, there was Old Glory floating from the Houses of Parlia ment, We alighted from the bus, took off our hats and with tears in our eyes, we saluted our flag and pitied those who were not free-born Americans, had visited England many times be fore the war and their attitude to ward the American never led me to be lieve they would fly the Stars and Stripes.

The War Office gave him the rank of Captain and his honorable discharge, and? He is now In th British West Indies recuperating. He has served three years and two months In the Imperial army. "I never realized until my last trip to Europe how much depends upon America. When I say America, I mean the United States. The Germans are stronger than we know.

If there is a real, though re pressed, interest in, popular govern ment in Germany, what would be more likely to dispel their delusion; what more likely to disarm the Teutonic Junkers and entente jingoes, withal than an appeal to Join in a democratic congress issued from some neutral source and? responded to favorably by the belligerent free peoples? Surely it is a hard saying that a people who, in their calmer hours, are of unsurpassed mental capacity are now incapable of being brought by any evidence to a reasonable outlook upon the world. Nor is it believable that the country men, of Luther, Schiller and Carl Schurz are too brutish to feel the ethical ap peal of human welfare, j some more. We must work until we are tired, and then go on working. Just stop and think of this one fact, that in No Man's Land the Germans are slitting the throats of wounded American boys. Men and women of America, do you realize that they are our boys they are murdering? It may be your boy, and it may be my boy. Can any of you stop work or stop giv ing? Can we ever forgive our enemy, who knows no law of war or decency? Trains Loaded With Wounded.

In four months 11,000 blind soldiers have passed through th English hospitals. One sees crippled and maimed soldiers everywhere. "Sir Arthur Plerson, who Is blind himself, is giving all of his money and all his time for the benefit of the blind men. They are cheerful and are anx ious to become self-supporting. "The wounded never complain. Some of them are maimed beyond recogni tion and are thankful and apprecia tive fnr nnv kindnesses shown them. I have tried to 'mother'-them all. I have room in my heart for everyone of them, but unfortunately I have only one pair of hands and my purse is limited. "I think that every man who puts his country's uniform on is a hero. God bless them, every one, of them. Even the prisons and Jails of England are emptied, these men having gone to help to fill the trenches. "I have many letters from the trenches.

"While in Liverpool I stayed at the Adelphi Hotel, and the American Army and Navy Club has headquarters at the Adelphi. While sipping coffee there I saw among the crowd of American of ficers a smart, trim, well-mannered Lieutenant, He looked familiar, but I could not place him. I noticed he was looking at me. Finally he met me at the elevator, and as I had an American flag pinned on my coat he said, 'You are an American!' I said, 'What is your name?" He replied, 'Blanchard.' "1 re plied: I knew Mr. and Mrs. Link Blanchard, at Oregon City.' Then he Informed' me they were his father and mother. We clutched each other's hands and 'grinned' at each other. I had not seen him since he was 6 months old.. This was Lieutenant Eldon Blanchard, disembarkation officer at Liverpool for the American Army, and a good one, too.

"The flying men are wonderful brave to the fault; afraid of nothing. Going over on our steamer not an American soldier touched a drop of liquor, and they all seemed to realize that the honor of their country rested on each and every one of them. In a foreign land, and among; all classes of men, when one is homesick and ' tired from over-work and short rations, and sees a khaki uniform tipped with a white collar, it is a stimulant.

We shall put our shoulder to the wheel and win. We owe It to our forefathers to win. We owe It to future genera tions to win. Let each and every one take a new oath to our country to do all in our power to win. Only those of us who have lived In a foreign coun try in war time can appreciate this wonderful land of ours. Air Raids Are Frequent. "In London I experienced an air raid. and frequently was hungry, as food is short- In my hotel lived a little girl. Miss June Waller, the granddaughter of the late Lewis Waller. June said to me, 'Auntie, if you place salt on an American biscuit (our soda crackers) and eat K, it keeps one from getting hungry.' -It is hard to see the children getting thinner and pale from the lack of food.
