Afterwards, as 'we lie In com paratively good cover, one of the , , f oodcarriers reports that a couple of hundred yards distant there lies a wounded messenger dog. "Where?" asked Berber.

"uermany ought to be empty. soon," says Kat. - We have given up hope that some day an end may come. We never think so far. A man can stop a bullet and be killed: he can get wounded and then the hospit al is nis next stop. There, if they do not amputate him. he sooner or later falls into the hands of one of those staff surgeons who, with tne war service cross in his but tonhole, says to him: "What, one leg a bit short? If you have any piuea you don't need to run at the front. The man Is A-l. Dis miss! " Kat tells a story that has trav eled the whole length of the front from the Vosges to Flanders of the staff surgeon who reads the names on the list, and when a man comes, before him, without looking up, says: "A-l. We need soldiers up there." A fellow with a wooden leg comes up before him, the staff surgeon again says A-l, and then," Kat raises his voice, the fellow says to him: I already have a wooden leg, but when I go .back again and they shoot off my head, then I will get a wood en head made and become a staff surgeon.'

From a mockery the tanks have become a terrible weapon. Armor ed they , come rolling on in long lines, and more than anything else embody for us the horror of war. We do not see the guns that bombard us; the attacking linea of the enemy infantry are men like ourselres; but these tanks are machines, their caterpillars run on as endless as the war. they are annihilation, they roll with out feeling into the craters, and climb up again without stopping, a fleet of roaring, smoke-belching armour-clads. Invulnerable steel beasts squashing the dead and wounded we shrivel up In our thin skin before - them, against their colossal weight our arms are sticks of straw,' and our hand-grenades matches.
