' DYING SOLDIERS CALL FOR TOBACCO TO EASE PAIN ! True Picture of First Line Hospital Given by Author of Great War Book "Over the Top" Arthur Guy Empey. the young American soldier with the allies whose wonderful book, "Over the Top," has recently been published by the McClure Company, has no more graphic, vivid chapter than the one telling of a wounded English sol dier's overwhelming desire for a smoke. Empey's "Over the Top" is an extraordinary work all through, more copies of it having been sold by the McClure firm than any other war book published as yet. Empey was in th<; thick of the strife and he writes like one who was genu inely a part of the horrors he depicts. Witness this excerpt: I had been slightly wounded in an attack on the German lines and had tet-n sent to the base hospital at Kouen. The bed next to mine was empty. The sheets were turned down, the pillow was missing and a rubber sheet was stretched across the center ef the bed, the ends of which were neatly tucked under the mattress. It was my first' time in a hospital, but oven to me, a recruit, it seemed that that bed was specially prepared, was waiting for some special case. I was right. It was. , In the bed on my left was a Jock, a Scottie from the Fifteenth Royal Scots, or "ladies from hell" as this particular Highland regiment was lovingly called by Frit*, our neighbor across No Man's Land. This Jock had lost his left foot from a shell burst. I asked him why the bed was made up in such a peculiar manner. He told me that the occupant, a Ca nadian, was up in the "pictures (°P~ crating theater)" having both hands amputated at the wrists and also that the Canadian was blind, caused by tho explosion of a bomb while raid ing the German trenches. In abput half an hour four white clothed orderlies came down the ward carrying a stretcher. In the wake of the stretcher came a Red Cross nurse. They halted before the unoccupied bed on my right. The "undertaker's squad" left, but the Red Cross nurse sat beside her pa tient, every now and then shooing a fly away from the bandaged head or using a piece of gauze bandage to wipe away the white froth which constantly oozed from the half-open lips of the bandaged form. In a short time the ether began to die out. and the frothy lips began to Then a sigh., and the man began to sing, not "God Save the King" or "The Maple Leaf Forever," but "Never SLARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Introduce a Bloke to Your I.ady Friend." Fretty soon this changed to shouts of "Ammo (ammunition)! Ammo! Am mo forward!" You could hear him all over the ward. The nurse started to sing a crooning litle lullaby. The shouting ceased. Further twitching end twisting, and the ether was ex pelled into an ever ready little re ceptacle held in the hands of the nurse. In a few minutes rays or consciousness penetrated to the brain of the wounded man and he began to mutter: "Turn on the lights; It's dark, it's dark. I can't see. It's dark. dark. Take that damned pillow oft iny head. It's dark, dark, I tell you. What's the matter with my mitts? They're tied; cobblestone on them. Where am I, Smokey? This dugout's dark. Switch on \he glim." The nurse was talking to him in a low voice and crooning her lullaby. My God, how that girl could sing!" It was not long before the blinded soldier fell asleep. He slept for three hours, the nurse beside him. Not for a second did she leave her post. 1 inwardly wished that the patient would sleep for hours longer. The presence of that nurse made* me feel happy and contented all over. The form on the bed stirred, and then in a plaintive Voice: "Where am I? Where am I? Turn on the lights! Turn on the lights!" The sun was streaming through the window. The nurse was crying. So was I. The Jock on my left was softly curs ing to himself. The angel of mercy leaned over her patient and In a low voice whispered to him: "Never mind, dearie; you are In the hospital and will soon be in pllghty for a nice long rest." The Canadian's mouth twitched. 1 thought he was going to cry. It was a prety mouth, but the lips were blanched to a bluish white. He asked the nurse, "What time is It?" She answered: "Three o'clock, dearie. Try to go to sleep. You'll feel better soon." The Canadian asked in a piteous vcice, "Wily is it so dark?" Then he slionted in a terror-stricken voice: "I know! I know! They've put my lights out! Good God. I'm blind! I'm blind! My eyes are sow—gone— gone " And his voice died out in a long- sob. Three doctors came through and held a low-voiced consultation. Two of them left; one stayed. The Jock whispered to me: "Poor bloke! He's going, west. I know the signs." The dying man began to mutter. The nurse bent over him. She had a writing pad and a pencil in her hand. She whispered to him; "Dearie, the mail is going out. Do' you want me to write a note home to the folks— just a short note telling them that you are all right and will be with them in a couple of months?" The patient answered: "Home? Kolks? I've never had any since I was a kid. Home! God, I wish I had one!" The writing pad in the nurse's hand was wet. The bandage on my shoulder was wet. Perhaps the blood was soaking through. But blood is red. TJje voice of the wounded man again: "I want —want—l want a " The nurse: "What do you want, boy? What can I get for you—a nice cool drink?" * "A drink? Hell, no; I want a smoke! Where's my makings? i want a fag—a smoke—a smoke!" She looked at the doctor. He nod ded. She left the patient and came over to me. I felt as I were in the presence of God. She whispered to me: "Have you a cigaret, my deaf, l'cr that poor boy? We are all out — have not received any for ten days. If the people at honie only realized what a godsend tobacco is for these pcor wounded lads .they would send them out. They are as important ts shells." I told her to look in my kit bag. She loked through it and found one, all out of shape—a Goldflake. I think it was the only smoke left in that ward of sixty-nine patients. With joy In her eyes she went back to her patient, gently put the cigaret between his lips and lighted it. A contented sigh, two or three weak puffs and the lighted cigaret fell out of his mouth onto the sheet. He was asleep. , It was getting late. I fell asleep. When I woke up it was morning. The bed on. my right was empty. The nurses in the ward had red eyes. They had been cryjng. I turned an inquiring gaze to the Jock on my left. He solemnly nod ded and his mouth twitched. I thought he was going to cry, but suddenly he looked at me. tears in his eyes, and said, "Aw, go to hell!" rnd turned over on his side. CONSERVATION' OF WVE STOCK ASKED Chicago, 111.—Arthur G. Leonard, president of the Chicago Union Stockyards, has made an appeal to farmers to forego, in the world crisis, their short-sighted policy in hurry ing to market live stock which, for the sake of the future and \yith a greater promise of profit, should be held on the farms. Mr. Leonard's message is sent out by the Illinois State Council of Defense, and is in part as follows: "To the average American farmer the world war is still a far-off event. He has been too busy to clearly real ize its tremendous bearing upon American agriculture. Thus f.ar he has thought of the war uj'Vn'.V as it affects the labor necsary to pro duce and.gather the cro/i he has planted and their market value. "When lie does wake up to the true significance of this great strug gle, he will see that preservation of stock on farms is one oi the most vital factors to all the people of every nation, in order that the world's disappearing supply of meats, wool and leather may be replenished. Everything points to a continuance of the war for some time to come. The world's needs will increase as the war goes on. Is it not plain that the demands upon agriculture for food and clothing will grow greater and greater with each of de struction; that it will be impossible to produce an adequate supply, espe cially of animal products, such as meats, leather and wool, unless herds are maintained?"

The special needs of the gills of the Ottoman Empire and the work being done by Constantinople College to alleviate their distress are to be disdissed by Dr. Talcott Williams, Dr. Samuel T.
