Sanitary Corps Gather Wounded.
The ordinary procedure of caring
for the wounded in the German
army is for the sanitary corps,
which is well provided with..stretch-
ere and bandages, to gather up the
wounded on or near the firing lines
and bring them te a gathering
point a little way behind the lines.

w
These hospitals are usually estab'-
lished in village churches or town
halls One room is eleared and ar-
ranged for an operating rooin,
wheee bullets and pieces of shell
are removed arid amputations are
made if necessary.
Village Church as Hospital.
I visited such a 'field hospital. It
was a little .whitewashed .village
ehurch heated .by a stove. .Every-
where were white beds made of
straw and -covered with sheets.
Perhaps twenty wounded were here
including two captured Irishmen.
They lay quite still wh.en the army
doctor ushered us in, for they. were
too seriously wounded to pay much
attention to anything.
Near this hospital was another i'n
a town hall.
While we were there a consulting
sorgeon arrived to investigate the
condition of a seriously wounded
lieutenant, whose leg might peed
amputation. Two orderlies put the
patient on a stretcher, and he was
taken into the next room for ex' -
amination . Later in the day the
amputation was 11 erlormed. •
From these little field hospitals,
as soon as the men can be 'moved,
they are taken to some general hos-
pital in the nearest large city,
where' several thousands can be
cared for. Such a, hospital exists
in this neighborhood io the build-
ing of a normal college where every
oorner is used in housing wounded
men.
Heartrending Pictures.
I made a quick trip through this
building, and the memory of it is of
the most heartrending pictures I
have' of the war. Room after room
was filled with -the victims of the
conflict. Every man was seriously
wounded. Some, had suffered am-
putations and the heads of others
were so bandaged that no features
could be seen, only a tube to the
note Permitting 'breathing.
In one room a surgeon had,a sol-
dier on the operatingetable and was
pullipg pieces of shell from a hage
hole in the inner side of one of his
legs On a stretcher on the floor,,
waiting for his turn .to come under
the surgeon's care, was an officer.
Hit face was eovered with blood,
he was' waving' his arms wildly and
gasping for air. This scene left an
need, no ether evay presented itself to
:
nd finality -when elle had wrieteti
the4eittle better to Julian end lad eatte
ally e1 her home, Enid had found her-
self travelling to find Seibil Jackson 'in
alanost involunbary fashion.
There had been an element of COIITGO-
tional practical •commoneenee about Mess
Jackson that drew Enid to her in this
moment fraught with so Inn& emotion
arn+:1‘ suffering. 01 00113138, she could never
tell Sybil the tette etete of affe.ire. She
reeolveh.to put all the blame on herself.
"X must make her understand that it
was my fault that we married so hurried -
ay. and that I ,aan. no -use foe anything.
I -I must not toll her the truth, and I
can't bear to 11E410 11031 blame Julian."

"Well, do you think she would

Wise.
"I don't want, to brag about my-

in iny time, but I've been wise in
one Way,"
``What's that 7''

Few men get -far enough up the
ladder of fame to make them dizzy.

Slightly wounded soldiers, whom
it is not necessary to leave for a .
while in the field hospitals are sent 'Mechanical Train & Tracks
directly: to these larger hospitals
and thence after a short 'convales-
cence, are loaded into Red Cross
trains and sent home for recovery.
Later they return to take their
places .in the regirnents.
Trains Seen Daily.
Such trains can be seen daily
alongany main line of railroad. In
some cases freight cars with straw
bedding are used.
Near. the large' hospital 'I visited
was a ‘graveyard where there were
scores of neatly marked fresh
graaes, each bearing a cross or tab
let with the name of the soldier anti
his regiment, - division, •and Corps
marked on it. '
The identity of each 'soldier is
easily determined from ' the name
plate which he wears in a little
leather purse suspended from
around the neck. After a battle
these plates are gathered from the
dead and from these the death lists
are macle out. --
After a battle.where the deaths
mount into the thousands some field
will be shut off for a oemetex-y, and
there th,e bodies are buried, each
grave receiving some kind of a
cross wherever it is. possible, but
here no -names -.canbe attached.
-There will be many h.oroes in which
there' will not even. be known where
the absent ones are buried.
II R TAIN ' S BATTLE' SONG.

" Turn ed Down 'Tip perary ."
The:route to Tipperary is devoid
of any strategical -importance, but
it is playing no mean part in up-
holding what military experts terin
the riaora.le of the l3ritish. troops.
Th Germa,ns thundee "Die Wacht
e
am Rhein," tho French Ohaelt the
"Marseillalie " impeessive and son:
orous, a,ncl the Belgians fight gal-
lantry with theirbeantifnl "Bra-
banoonne" on their lips. ' But the
British sing no national air; they
go gaily into battle shouting an in-
consequent music -hall ditty that
has" nothing whatever in it about
death or glory or the Bulldog
Ereesdre.
Ris ehorug of the song:
"It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's,a, long way to .go ; ,
long way to Tipp,erary,
To the sweetest girl I know !
Good-bye, Piecadilly,
Farewell, Leieester-square, ,
It's itt bong, long way to Tipperary,
But my heart's right there!"
The author -composer of this. lyric
is Jack judge, a musio-hall artist ie
London, and there is probably no
man in the world more surprised
t an he—unless it is his publisher,
Bert Feldman— at the popolarity it
has so eliddenly achieved. The Bri-
ton 'sings it when reveille eoudds;
.he sings it route marching to down
the monotony ef "Boots -boots -
boots -boots, eloggin 'up and clown
segain''; he has familiarized his
French comrades with "Le chemin
Teepera,ire," ; and he sings it
when he takes his position in, the
teeth of a raking shell fire. But
why he chooses this 'particular air
nobody knows. .
"It's a, good song of its kind—a
good marching tune," Feldman
says, "quite simple, and it eloesn't
require roiech breath to sing it, for
there areTIO, pa.rtkularly high or
low notes in it. But there are other
songs with all these qualities; the
fact is, we oan never say with .any
certainty whether a Isong will eatch
on or not. .
"The Tipperary' -wing -only st
managed th be published at all.
One day a tomparatively tinkriowe
oomposei, jack Judge, brought it,
to me: elle plaice] it over, and I
liked its Jilt, so I undertook to pub.

Judge had tried his song on practi-

and thee' all -turned it down. .„..
