When
not operating we are dressing
wounds, making out reports and
getting the men back to the bases
and the beds empty tor more pa­
tients. Meet of the men are quite
cheerful though they dread the op­
erating room more than going over
the top. Some of course have such
distressing wounds that they can­
not be cheerful.
1 am surprised
how well they do. General Persh­
ing when he called thanked us for
the care of the men. ‘ We had a

of the skull was shot away.

We have quite a number o f pa­

large numbers we had. bur enough’
to keep urn busy. McGuire and 1
have not had a ’death In the pa­
tients of our wards.
A group of lows boys esme in

.over and talked -tor them-
They
were glad to see someone from
>e. I do not know any of them.
They told me they were from Oaks-
loosa. Des Moines. Grinnell and
‘ Council Bluffs.
They told me of
the work at t ie front. These new
soldiers are a revelation to the
French and English, and I think
also to the Germans. They are do­
ing as good work as the men who
hfeve been In for years.
Later— It has rained all night
and all day. a steady, quiet rain.
We have not been as busy as usual
but tly>re are many quite sick from
their wounds, making me continu­
ously anxious about them. Among
our wards, ward three is a sample
and since I have to watch two or
three of the men, I am sitting here
writing. Seventeen of the twenty-
two beds are occupied. The wood­
en floors have been scrubbed clean:
the nurse in the far, corner is ster­
ilizing Instruments for the dress­
ings ; the orderly is passing milk
and egg-nogs about to those most
III.
The patients are from every
state.
An Alabama boy and one
from Washington, each with an
arm in a suspending splint, are
swapping experiences of last week's
fight. The next man, from Michi­
gan, shot through the lungs, has
aot smiled since he cajne into the
hospital.
Every day his pulse is
better and I now believe him out of
danger, but he will not smile.
Across the way Is an Irish boy
whose right leg ia gone, frofn gas
Infection. - He stpiles all the time
and makes light of h i» troubles. If
he is a sample, the Irish are all
right. He was running toward the
enemy when he met a bullet and
then, with a comrade, fell over a
cliff lighting in a bunch of seven
Germans.
The Germans, surprised
by having the "Yanks" drop out of
the sky, surrendered and carried
this man hack to the dressing sta­
tion.
Such Incidents, several of
which I have heard, might lead one
to believfe that the 4 Germans all
give up eaatly, but an Iowa boy in
bed No. ¡1 tells a different tale. He
was In a different sector, he met
the "Prussian Guards" 4nd they
stood and fought to the last man.
He saw the location ,o f a machine
gun that was doing great damage.
Seven of them deployed and sur­
rounded it. Three o f them finally
got the gun but no prisoners.
Twelve German homes must mourn
that little fight. Four of the eeven
American boys did e not return—
even to the hospital.
Another boy tells of a German
officer they» captured. The officer
#
surrendered but was insolent.
He
could speak English and said te his
captors, “ You Americans think you
are going to do great things and
whip us, but you are not." "You
think," replied the Yankee soldier,
"that you are going back to an
American hospital, but you are
not."
The boy showed me the
pocketbook which was in. this o f.
fleer’s coat and it contained a num­
ber o f photographs, his family and
comrades. The groups of soldiers
in these pictures looked well fed—
fine large men of reasonable age.
The w ife ai% Bisters were fine look­
ing women— hew sad they are to-
pight. .
Nearly all testify that the Ger­
man soldiers are tired of fighting.
How dreadful that the ambition ~tt
one man should cause alj this suf­
fering. Mr. Gerard, though he has
said and done some foolish things,
has made 'on e Just proposition—
thsj the kaiser and his junkers
should be hung for the murders
they have committed.
One of these boys saw, captured,
machine gun men chained to their
guns.
Many told me they had
heard of this but tonight is the
first band evidence.
Another haid
heard that women were found in j
men's clothing in the fighting line, j
