On l/e<\ 5 1 was -told I was well
enough to be sent to England, and on
the nest day I wont on a hospital train
from Itouen to Havre. LI ere X was
placed on a liospital ship which every
medical officer in our army ought to
have a chance to Inspect. Nothing in
genuity could contrive for convenience
aud comfort was missing. Patients
were sent below decks In elevators
and then placed In swinging cradles
which hung lotol no matter what the
ship's motion might l>e. As soon as
I had been made comfortable in my
particular cradle 1 was given a box
which had engraved upon it: "Present
ed with the compliments of the Union
Castle line. May ycu have a speedy
and good recopocy." The box contain
ed cigarettes, tobacco and a pipe.
When the ship docked at Southamp
ton, after a run of eight hours across
channel, each patient was asked wit at
part of the British isles he would like
to be taken to for the period of his
convalescence. I requested to be tak
en to London, where, I thought, there
was the best chanee of my seeing
Americans who might know me. Say,
J sure mada ft good guess! I didn't
know many Attijtficans, but I didn't

while the ambulances pass.a Women
rush out and throw flowers to the
wounded men. Sometimes there is a
cheer, but usually only silence and
words of sympathy.
The King George hospital was built

average hospital are unknown here.
There are soft lights and comfortable
beds and pretty women going about
as visitors. The stage beauties and
comedians come to entertain us. The
food is delicious, and the chief thought
of every one seems to be to show the
\ inmates what a comfortable and cheery
thing it is to be ill among ,a lot of real
friends. I was there from December
until February, and my recollections
of the stay are so pleasant that some
times I wish I was back.
On the Friday before Christmas
there was a concert in oOr ward.
Among the artists who. entertained us
were Fay Compton, Gertrude Elliott
(sister of Maxlne Elliott), George liable
and other stars of the London stage.
After our protracted stay in the
trenches and our long absence from
all the civilized forms of amusement
the affair seemed to us the most won
derful show ever given. Aad in some
ways it was. For Instance, in the most

plause with kisses? Well,, that's what
we got. -UiU I am p10ud.to.s4y.that
it was Miss Compton who coni^ipred;
this honor upon me. ,
At about 3 o'clock on that afternoon,
when we were all having n good time,
one of the orderlies threW open the
door of the ward and announced In a
loud voice that his majesty the king
was coming In. We could not have
been more surprised if some one had
thrown in a Mills bomb. Almost Im
mediately the king walked In, accom
panied by a number of aids. They
were all In service uniforms, the king
having little in the style of his uni
form to distinguish him from the oth
ers. He ,walked around, presenting
each patient with a copy of "Queen
Mary's Gift Book.'' an artistic little
volume, with pictures uud short stories
by the most famous of English artist*
and writers. • When he neared my bed
he turned to one of the nurses and In
quired:
"Is this the one?"
The nurse nodded. He came and eat
at the side of the bed' nud shook hands
with uie. lie asked'us to what part of
the Uuited States I had come from,
how I had pot my' wounds ana wliat
the nature of them were, how I was
getting plong and what I particularly J
wished done for jue. I answered his
questions nuu said that everything I
could possibly wish for had already
been doue for me.
Thanked by King and Decorated lor
Bravery.
"I thank you," he said, "for myself
and my people for your services. Our
gratitude cannot be great enough to
ward men who have served as you
have."
He spoke in n very low voice and
with no assumption of royal dignity.
There was nothing in the least thrill
ing about the Incident, but there was
much apparent sincerity in the few
words.
After he had gone one of the nurses
asked me what he had said.
"Oh," I said, "George asked me what
I thought about the way the war was
being conducted, and I snid I'd drop!ln
and talk it over with him as soon as
I was well enough to be up."
There happened one or tiie great dis
appointments of my life. She didn't
see the Joke. She'was English. She
casped and glared at me, arid I think
she went out and reported that I was
delirious again.
Really, I wasn't much impressed by
the English king. lie seemed, a pleas
ant, tired little inan with a great bur
den to hear and not much of an Idea
about how to bear It He struck me
as an individual who would conscien
tiously do liis best in any situation, but
would never do or say anything with (
the slightest suspicion of u punch to it
A few days after his visit to the hos
pital I saw in the Official London Ga
zette that I bad been awarded the dis
tinguished conduct medal. Official let
ters from the Canadian headquarters
amplified this information, and a no
tice from the British war office inform
ed me that the medal awaited me there.
I was told the king knew that the
medal bad been awarded to me when
he spoke to mo in the hospital. De
spite glowing reports in the Kentucky
press he didn't pin it on me. Probably
he didn't have it with him, or perhaps
he didn't consider it good form to hang
a D. C. 31. on a suit of striped presenta
tion pajamas with a prevailing tone of
baby blue.
While I was in the King George hos
pital I witnessed one of the most won
derful examples of courage and pluck
I have ever seen. A young Scot only
.nineteen years old, McAuley by name,
had had the greater part of his face
blown away. The surgeons had patch
ed him up in some fashion, but he ..was
horribly disfigured. He was the bright
est, merriest man in the ward, always
joking and never depressed. His own
terrible misfortune was merely the top
ic for humorous comment with him.
He seemed to get positive amusement
out of the fact that the surgeons were
always sending for UUn to do some
thing more with Ma face. One day be
was going into the operating room and
a fellow patient asked him what the
new operation was to be.
"Oh," he said, "I'm gt»ing to have<a
cabbage put on in place of a head.
It'll grow better than the one 1 have
now."
Once In a fortnight he would map
age to get leave to absent himself from
the hospital for an hour or two. Be
never came back alone. It took a
couple of men to bring him in. On tbe
next morning ho would say:
"Well, it was my birthday. A man
must have a few drinks on his birth
day."
I was discharged from the hospital
in the middle of February and sent to
a comfortable place at lias tings, Sus
sex where I lived _until my furlough
papers came througfi; T ftifP a tine

When my furlough had arrived I went
to Barton, Derbyshire, whe^e Uje.Qi
nadlan discharge depot was located,
and was provided with transportation
to Montreal. X came back to America
on the Canadian Pacific Royal Mail
steamer Metagama, and the trip was
without incident of any scrt. We lay
for a time in the Mersey, awaiting
word that our convoy was ready to see
us out of the danger zone, and a de
stroyer escogftl .£00 jclles on our
way.
I was informed before my departure
that a commission as lieutenant In the
Cana4}an -forces awaited my return
from fqrlqugh, and I had every, intend
tioc of "going back to accept it, but
since I got to America things have hap
pened. Now it's the army of Uncle

It's going to be a tough game and a
bloody one and a sorrowful one for
many, but it's up to us to save the
lssufe where It's mostly right on one
aide and all wroug on the other—and
i'm glad jfe'fe in. I'm not willing to
quit soldiering now, but I will be when
