' 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?"
XEEDS OF THE TURKISH Gilt I,S
New York, N'. Y. 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

William 8. Dodd, at a reception for
Mr. and Mrs. Elkus, aVmged by the

at Hotel Uiltmoie, Wednesday after
