at their best in tho wondorful pict
ure, "Within tho Law" at tho Arcade
Monday and Tuesday. 12-6-tf,
niand of a detachment that had been
left without an ol'l'lcor; of how ho
did cross tho road, losing all but
eighteen of the fifty-seven brave men
who l'ollowod him, and how ho lost
his arm for hii), act.
There is something in the faco of
Sergeant Wells found only in the
faces of men who have seen things
which they cannot forget, uncontroll
able, crushing things. A sudden taut
ness of tho lower lip, a narrowing of
tho eyes, a tenseness that he can
hot control, are indications of mem
ories, perhaps too horrible to ever
put into words, perhaps too element
al for words. At least most of those
things ho does not talk about. Ho
waits for them to pass.
It Is when be talks of tho inhuman
cruelty of the German soldiers that
the tenseness conies most noticeably
to his face. Ho was himself bay
oneted in an arm already shot seven
times, while he lay In "No Man's
Laud." Tho side of his face was
kicked by the boot of a Gerfnan of
ficer, bis cheek Is scarred wliero lie
waB struck across tho faco by tho
hand of another commander.
Of the period served In a German
prison, and his miraculous escape
from the living death from which
few men have yet come alive, follow
ing a long poriod of pretended in
sanity, Wells tells In detull in his
turo. Ho has pictures smuggled
i'rui.i the German prison.
"'The hospital base, is the soldier's
little heaven," Sergeant Wells said.
'Not tho one above, but the sacred
ground presided over by a Hetl Cross
nurse. Wo all hope, that by aome
fluke wo will be spared lor the baso
hosi ital. It Is tho hope to which
we cling."
Wells is a Canadian by birth, lie
was formerly connected with a Van
couver newspaper. lie is recognized
1)3' the Canadian Covei nmont which
has suppliid him largely witli tho
pictures which lie shows. WellH has
lost three brothers and his father in
the war.
