THE WHITE POST TRAIL. '
To the man or woman who bat
subscribed to the Y. M. C. A. fund:
Us ten to the story of a man who
bat bat recently returned from the
western front. It la a story of the
wounded of the allied armies, those
who are still able to walk or hob
ble. Tor weeks the army bad known,
almost to the hour, when a (real
. "posh" was to be made. The enemy
knew it also. It seemed. On the day
tefore the drive, army engineers
planted a long, straight lino of white
posts, about four feet high, with in
tervals of a few yards between
them, leading from the sale rear
straight to the edge of No-man's-
land." These posts were to guide the'
wounded troops, who were still able,
' to walk, hut who, from weakness, orj
mental confusion, or injuries to the
ayes, would be unable to find their
way to the rear without this help.
The man tells of the march out', '
that morning, to the front line1
trenches. No tinging, no talking. '
every man of them realized the ser-,
Jousness of the task. Just before j
they . reached the trenches, from i
which they soon after rushed out toj
the attack, tbey passed the forward!
tent of the army Y. M. C. A. Each ,
man reecived a cup of hot coffee and
a piece of chocolate, the later a val
uable posession for a man who falls
wounded. !
A few hours later, the Injured be-'
gan trailing back along the line of:
the white posts. Some had lost an(
arm; others an eye, others are:
carrying in various parts of their)
bodies, the bullets of the German :
enemy.' Bleeding and staggering!
they follow the trail of the white J
posts.
And the first welcome they find,!
the first stopping place if they are j
strong enough to keep up the jour-,
ney, is the "hut" of the Y. M. C. A.
There again a cup of hot coffee is
waiting for them. And two order
lies stand with hypodermics of mor
phine to ease the pains of those who
id list have it to enable them to get
to the hospitals still further In the
rear.
Some times a Y. M. C. A. but Is
shelled and the secretaries lose their ,
lives. Two made this supreme sac-i
rlflce only the other day.
It is a fine story: A (rue story:
Soon to be a common story for the
soldiers of America. The Y. M. C.
A. has asked that their young men
lie permitted to carry on this work,
in common with thousands of other
humanitarian tasks. To the ever
lasting credit of the good people of
Josephine county, as well as of the
nation at large, let it be said that
the response was prompt and generous.
