CONVALESCENT HEROES

It Ih tlio convalescent heroes who
hold first plnco in tho public nfTectlon
just now. Hack from tho front with ban
daged nrnis, legs mid heads, with fevur
shaken frames, with tropic tanned faces,
coiuo tho bravo soldier boys who wait
out but n few wcelts rKO to tho clioury
ratllo of drums and tho exultant cry of
'bugles. Hack thoy come, kouio limping,
Bouio hobbling, homo bravely inarching
down tho transport gangplanks. Hack
thoy come, to bu nursed and petted and
doctored back to health.
No fond mother, nn anxious father,
no loving sweetheart, need fear that
they will not hao tho best of atten
tion. Thcro may havo been criminal
neglect mid incompetency in sending
homo the first sick laden transports
from Culi.i, but tho men who woro said
to liuu dono it hao denied their guilt
and clini'n d tbir denial by promising
that theo things shall never happen
iigaln. They will carry out their prom
ise, too, for tho heart of tho nation has
been touched by tlioso stories of need
less suffering mid tho deep volco of tho
nation has growled n warning that will
bo heeded.
Meantime most elaborate prepara
tions havo been mado for receiving not
only tho sick and wounded, but for re
moving from unhealthful camps tho
patient volunteers who havo had no
chauco nt all to fight, but havo drilled
and waited, eagerly expecting tho word
which never camo. Tho finest locations
that could bu found havo been picked
out for tho now field hospitals mid
nrmy camps. Spots to which tho for
tunate Chilian goes for brief summer
outings havo been appropriated as
camping grounds for tho soldiers who
fought for thoso who wanted to fight
but didn't got a chauco.
Perhaps ouo of tho largest and inoht
beautifully situated of theso now camps
is that which is now being established
on Alontnuk Point, whero Shatter's
army has been ordered. This point is

Montauk Point is 111) miles from
Now York or Brooklyn by tho Long Is
land railroad. It is about 20 miles
south of Stouiugtou and about 30 miles
from New Loudon. For many years tho
popularity of thu point nnd tho sur
rounding country has been on tbo in

Tho point, which begins at Fort
Pond, is fivo miles long, and its greatest
width, brforo tapering to tho promon
tory upon which stands Montauk Polut
light, is Km than four miles wide.
From Fort Pond hay, ou tho sound sido,
to tho ocean is about two miles across.
Thiw is whero Montauk Point propor
begins. It broadens out ns it extends to
tho cast mid ends in a point rising 100
feet abovo tho love! of tho sea.

been slight, owing to tho effcctlvo work

At Old Point Comfort on ChesaDoako

is located on a slto only n fow minutes'

Fort Thomas, that plcturosquo and
beautifully situated army post on tlio
Kentucky highlands overlooking tho
Ohio river, has been changed into a big
army hospital whero from 800 to 400
