TEHPOKABT AXXXZ BEDDING By William G. Shepherd. TJnltl Prrsa HtafC Correspondent. Tourn, France, Sept. 19. (By mail to New York.) This Is 3 o'clock in the' morning in the great arched rail road station of Tours. Several hun dred of us have just "been awakened from our sleep on the hard seats of third clan cars arid driven out of the train on which we were bound from Bordeaux to Paris.- We find other hundreds who have been driven from other trains. Not many miles northwest of us the French have whipped the Germans, who had been trylnir to get into Paris. That's kll we know about it. But the French have paid a terrible price. . They are bringing their wounded to .Tours by automobiles, vans and any thing else that is available as a ve hicle, and they have seized our trains to use In carrying the suffering men down to the south, where the warm sunchlne of Bordeaux, -'00 miles away, or of Barritz, which gets the warm winds of Spain, will give them com fort. rood Kept for Soldiers. It Is a very cold, raw autumn morning. It will not be light for two hours. Most of us on our train have not eaten for 12 hours. The top of a penny-In-the-slot candy machine served me as a writing table. On my right Is the door to the depot buffet, but' two huge soldiers stand there with bayonets In their rifles. ,"You can'l get In," they say. "There la only a lltfcle food left in here, and it. is for the soldiers." A man with two children begs the soldier for admission. The soldier points to a penny In the slot machine. I stop writing while Che man drops in ten big copper pieces, one after the other, and gets small cakes of choco- late for the children and himself. I take the cue and get some pieces for myself. The mob around the buffet door is growing. Whenever the soldiers no tice a man or woman with children they secretly point out the chocolate machine. The others they turn away. "X.es Blessed" Pass. Twenty feet from me, between lines Of soldiers, a. sad procession is pass ing, soldiers bearing their wounded to the cars we have Just left. "Lea blessed!" are the words I hear almost whispered on every hand. They sound to my American ears like "the blessed." In French they mean "the wounded," but those men are "blessed" too, J know, In that great city of ParijZP miles away, for to save Paris they have founght as perhaps no men ever foQght before. Where the soldiers passed blood Is 1 dripping. A white sheet covers the man on this litter; he's dead, maybe. The man on this litter smiles weakly, face showing his white teeth under his brown mustache. I've laughed before now at whiskers like, this white faced Frenchman wears, but there's a little flag of a German cavalry troop on his litter. He took it single handed, and fought for It with a saber after he had been ijhot twice in the left arm. He's won his right to wear bis whiskers as be pleases. We can laugh at them if we want to after we've won the right to do so by being as brave as he was. He groans ss they lift him on to the car, and his big black eyes close tightly with pain. What the Arcs BeveaL "Sacre bleu!" says a man. He pounds the face of the chocolate ma chine, rny writing table. jThe machine Is emplX No chocolate ebmes from it. He has lost his big penny copper. In the bargain. He looks at me crossly, says It's a swindle and goes away. The big white arc lights sputter on such a scene as only war could pro duce. Soldiers, soldiers everywhere: women, children, men, soldiers, sol diers, soldiers, soldiers! And every soldier has a great hunk of ' bread. As I look upon the scene 'there are four things that strike my notice the blue overcoats, the red trousers, the hunks of bread and the absence of the sound of voices. No one seems to be using his voice. En glnes are whistling, thousands of foot fallM -rewound, but that procession of llttrrs throws a pall oer all and over whelms tin. Where have these men been? What stories could they tell? Wliat scenes of horror have they viewed? Off there In the night, to the west, ".'hence they came., dead bodies In and red are lying in the fields tmrf pfi are pntehes of earth wet wtfh un.oi.. These men In the litters nre the links betwetr-. us and the sor rows that He out there In the cold. . Another Mad Say. ".- Irainload steanin v the pro cession shifts toward anotA v'at form, suddenly "I catch a new lmpvt. sion in the crowd. It is a man in ni-! r.-v cape, with a gray bonnet .,r r.i !tt His face is brown. I see nore of hf and then many more. Tbtv hundreds. They are the Coroccan and --f,v-.-aja rifles, the . newest hope of worried France, straight from the hot deserts In Af rica, where the French flag flies. The gray cape Is their overcoat. They re mind me of the Bedouins of the pic ture books, . Now as I look I do not notice the hunks of bread and the colors of uni- forms and the dark, savage faces from the desert. I see scattered in the 1 throng women and children, tired "toothers sitting on the stone pave " ments, their laps the pillows for sleeping boys and girls. The arcs ' sputter out.' The sun is up. Anothei ' day of madness dawns on Europe.
