tlio baptism of llro tlmy caro for noth

comfort.
Tli oro nro stories going tlio rounds
of lighters In Kuropo who lmvo left
Iba tronchos nnd wulkcd through n
hull of bullets ami shells after nti over
coat or nftor food. Tliesa men know
nothing nhout donth. They did know
a lot nhout discomfort. They know
when they wcru thirsty tlioy wero tor
rlhly tincomfortiihlo. They know whon
tlioy woro cold tlioy suffered.
When tlio (loriimn cruiser Koonlgs
liorg was driven Into n river on tlio
Afrlcnu coast and bottled up tlieru by
n superior forco of Kngllsh ships, It
Is reported that tlio Hermans throw
up tranches In the vicinity of tlio Koo
nlgsbcrg, from which they fought the
llrltlsh. From tlio!- phco of security
among the palm trees tlioy kept nuy
landing forco of marines from getting
nenr thorn.
Although thoy woro securely In
trenched tiny could not leave tlio
tronchos without great rllc of llfo
from tlio bullets of tlio llrltlsh ma
rines. Vet when tlio mosquitoes mado
night mlsornblu In tlio trenches ono
ni tlio (lornuins left his trench and
walked coolly through tlio hull of bul
lets to a neighboring trench, wlioro ho
gathered nomo ponnyroynl, with which
to light tho moBipiltops.
Men under flro do not think or tho
consequences any moro than men In
tliu cities going to and from work.
story Is told of men high on tho top
gf a skyscraper. Ono of the ivorkmen
felicitated with the other on his got tl
luck In having u safo Job on n slrder
SQvorul hundred foot above tu street,
whllo others had to risk tholr Uvas In
Ktiropa.
Tliu majority or (lit soldlori In liu

t tint they nro not on ahoro. l-ir. on
tliu am. they aro freo to ride on tho
storm. The nion on shore pity the
poor devils of tho sou.
The recruit getting the baptism of
lire la to be pitied, lie Is probably as
brave as any of tho othor men, hut ho
! not gtittun accustomed to tho situ

Hiiro was n cnptiiln In n certain
KttrJtieni army lighting In our Civil
vjtir who derided tils company of ro
OtUltti for dodging tho bullets. Ho
jihtlticd It was too lato tu dodgo

might dodgo their heads into a second

Tho mon wcro now to lighting, how
ever, and thy wero not on tho firing

main firing lino whllo tho Southerners
wcro attacking tholr lines.
Just then n big cannon shell burst
above tholr heads. Tho captuln
dodged with tho rest, bringing out n
big Inugh from tho recruits, most of
whom woro not -ory woll disciplined
and hod llttlu respect for tho great
ness of their commanding ofllccr.
"Dodgo tho big ones," tho captain
shouted, us ho admitted that oven tho
Hcasoncd men sometimes dodgo on un
expected shot. It Is tho unexpected
ness of tho shooting that causes tho
men to dodgo. When they beconlo
used to tho nolso of bnltlo they can
sleep right through a bombardment
without being troubled. Thoy light
nnd slcup In n sort of dazo. Often they
oro on duty for so long that thoy can
not go to sleep when tho lighting is
over, but thoy sit In n stupor, not
knowing what to do.
Sometimes It reipilros moro heroism
to stand under llro than at other times.
Tho real lloróos aro tho rocrultsj for

diers Jost as thoy light Just as a gnug

It Is told of a hero In tho Hpai.uh
American war who was commissioned
a major In tho American Volunteer
army, although he hnd no previous
mllltnry oxpurlonco except at a mili
tary school, that as ho was going Into
action at San Juan hill ono of tho reg
ular army olllcers noticed tho major's
white race and chattering tenth.
".Major, you are setirod." tho tegular
said
"I know It," sold tho major. "If you
wero half as scared as I am ou would
bo twenty mllos from hero."
It Is not only tho soldlem who
showed heroism under flro In Kuropi.
Tho civilians wero heroes us well. In
Ilulglum the fanners woro In tho
midst of harvest when tho ulihins
crossed their frontier. Tho fanners
continued hun'ostliig their crops bo
cuiiso thoy realized tho armies -would
trample them under foot. Tholr only
hopo was In completing tho harvest
heforo the armies crossed tho country.
Thoy worked nmld shot nnd shell with
out regard to tho enemy. They woro
Just os sate In the field nt work us
thoy wurii'runnliiB nnd thoy bravely
chose the wiser course.
War correspondents tell how thoy
found French women knitting whllo
tho lighting was going on. Thero was
nothing lor thorn to do but knit. Then
why run? As thoy knitted tlioy com
mented on tho shots which dropped
around thonr. In Helms It Is told how
women near tho cothodral counted tho
shylls as they struck that edldco.
Thero Is n talo of a soldier In tliu
trenches who was known to every
body as a coward. Ho always would
hug tho bottom of tho trench. It
seemed ho never could get over It. nut
ho was passionately fond of cigarettes.
Ono "lay whllo tlio bullets woro whis
tling ubovo his trench a soldier In a
neighboring trench held up clgnrettas
to lilin. Ho Jumped up, raced to the
otlicr trench and cauio back triumph
antly with tho cigarettes. Ho was un
hurt. Aloro olllcers nro killed In butilo In
proportion to their numbers than any
nthar class of mcu. That Is duo to the
risks thoy Insist on tnklng. That Is
particularly truo In tho English army,
wlioro tho olllcers risk their lives
needlessly. Tho Qormans would ho
court-martialed for risking tholr lives
as much as tho English ofllcors do.
Tho English say thoy do It to stendy
heir mon nnd show tlioy nro not
afraid.
Tho samo Is truo to n considerable
extent lit tho American army. Tho
losses of olllcers In tho Rpnnlsh-Amorl-can
war wns surprisingly great. Of
course tho SpanlBli-Aniciiciui war was
not on tho proportions of this wur and
tlio sharpshooters figured extensively.
An ofllccr in our rogulnr army who
saw lighting In tho Bpunlsh war, pMiit
cd out tho other day that most porsonB
had a very wrng conception of huw
soldiers light ii modern battles.
"Bklrmlsh ü i Ills In times of penco
liuvu taught tin i troops how to act to
gether, and It Is nmnzlng to seo how
quickly tho nnn adapt themselves to
tho conditions of actual hatllo. It Is
tho corporals and sergeants who nro
tho real steudylug liilluoucos In n fight
They know tho characteristics of tho
individual prlvatos In n way that tho
commissioned olllcors can never know
tliom nnd oro propared to glvo n calm
ing word to this or that ono when tho
emergency arises. In my own oxpurl
onco I huvo known a private who had
served three enlistments to take
charge of u company In a charge nnd
tho olllcers and non-coms woro very
glnd to leave It to him. After tho scrap
was over ho beenmo a prlvnto ouco
more, but whllo that row was on, so
far as actual Influence with tho men
wns concerned, ho wns of a grcnt deal
more Importance than his cnptaln. Tho
wny that man would wrlgglo Into
cover wns n revelation and ho went
through thrco campaigns without n
scratch. Ills oxntuplo In tlio regiment
whs a big assot.
"Thero tins been much discussion of
bravery In Imttlo slnco tho war start
ed. According to my cxperlcnco It Is
very much u matter of temporument.
Bomo men nro carried along by a sort
of ecstasy, others hold themsolvos to
tho work by sheer forco of will, whllo
others, nnd thosa nro tho best, go
through a fight with u sort of grim In
terest as It It was a highly amusing
though somewhat dangorous sport they
wcro engaged In, llko polo or football."
USE FOR LEFT-OVER TURKEY
Probsbly There I No Belter Way
Than by Converting It Into a
Salad.
Generally tharo Is quito n bit of tho
turkey left over, not enough perhaps
for a full meal again but quita sufll
clout for an excellent salad for an eve
ning function, high ten or a course
luncheon. If tho whlto turkoy ment
docs run short It Is an easy matter to
supplement It with soma of tho dark
meat or oven roast veal or fresh pork
and no ono will ho tho wiser. Cut thn
meat Into dice, then mensuro and al
low an equal quantity of celery, cut
In fairly good-sized pieces. It you linvo
any walnuts, butternuts or almonds,
cook them In n llttlo stock or boiling
salted wntor for twonty minutes, then
chop fino. At serving tlino mix to
gether tho turkny or other ment, nuts
nnd celery and allow to each quart of
tho mixturo, n teaspnonful of salt, n
qunrtcr tenspoonful of pnprlkn, a ten
spoonful of Worcestershire sanco and
It you llko It n tiny plcco or clovo of
gnrllc, Just enough to glvo a sugged
Hon to tho potato, without tho odor.
Toss and mix well nnd having lined
your sulnd bowl with crisp lettuce
leaves, put In tho salad mixed with n
llttlo mayonnaise, heap up, mask with
moro mnyonnnlso nnd servo. pretty
garnish for this Is tho stuffed olives or
hits of tho sweet red peppers that
como In cans. Chicken salad Is rondo
In tho samo way. A fow spoonfuls of
tho stock In which tho chicken has
been boiled, makes a richer salad.
