cures leave and describes war Incident* in
Glasgow. Returns to Ypres In midst of
bombardment.
Motors with an officer through Ypres to
Potizzo amid bursting shells and bombs
dropped from aeroplanes. A terrible ride.
The uex't lnorniiig I was ordered to
report iu iny cur to a young officer of
the intelligence department. Tlie offi
cer told me that lie had orders to go
through Ypres to a little place called
I'otijze and to report himself to the
divisional commander there.
There was absolutely no other way
to get to I'otijze except through Ypres,
and you urfty he sure we were feeling
none too pleasant about the prospects.
We had to go slowly, even at the start,
as the road was tilled with all kinds of
transports. After we got through the
village of Ylauiertingiie we found the
going a little better, and we got along
faster. The road from Vlamertinghe to
Ypres Is almost straight, and one can
see right into the city before one comes
within two kilometers of it
As we swung into this straight
stre. ch I noticed several Ceiman aero
planes over the city, and it was plain
to be seen that they were dropping
bombs. This time they were dropping
petrol bombs, and the instant they ex
ploded they would spray petrol all
over the place anil a dame would shoot
up Into the air. In this way they were
setting tire to the city.
It was a sight th.it I shall never for
get. The shells were falling Just the
same, and, what with the ground fairly
trembling from the terrific explosions,
the smoke from the bursting shells and
burning houses, the tianies and dust
that filled the air, it made a scene that
would need a Dante to.descrlbe and do
it Justice.
The thought that we were to attempt
the passage through all this was terri
fying. An awful fear, almost panic,
seemed to grip me. and I longed to
Jump from that car aud hide my face
from the tlamiug hell which seemed to
be stretching out its tentacles of fire to
draw us Into its gaping maw.
I felt weak ali over and was wet
with cold perspiration. 1 looked at the
officer, almost praying that he would
give the order to stop, but even as 1
looked I knew there was no chance of
that. lie was as white as death, but
there -was a look of determination on
his face, and the clenched teeth and
set Jaws gave no promise or his back
| lug down.
I think the bulldog grit tnnt ue was
showing helped me, fur I resolved that,
while I might get so weak as to be un
able to drive that car. I would stick by
him as long as I could hold out. And
he certainly showed that he was
"white" clear through, for he told me
to stop a moment I did, and he got
out of the car.
"Robinson," he said, "I've Just been
thluking that there won't be any need
for you to come any further. It Is a
rotten business, and as there are ani
bulanees going up all the time, I can
get a lift in one and will stand just as
much chance of getting through as
though you were to take me. 1 don't
I believe in any one taking unnecessary
risks, and in this case it would be rlsk
| ing an extra man and a car, too, and I
don't mind going on in an ambulace
| the least bit."
I thought it was Just about one of the
I finest things I had ever heard of a man
! doing, and I want to say right here
1 that such things as this are typical of
| the true British officer. There are men
' holding commissions who couldn't do
I such a thing as this to save their necks,
' but they are the "pikers" found In ev
| ery country, "temporary gentlemen,"
I as they are called by the real men who
are obliged to associate with them.

An American Boy't
Baptism of Fire
By WILLIAM J. ROBINSON
Copyrijht, Little, Brown ft Co.
The moit graphic account of the
great war that has ret been written
come* from the pen of a twenty-two
year-old Boston boy, who has ]U«t re
turned from France, where as draffoos
guardsman, dispatch rider and motor*

me aiiy, but I' aVifleciatea'it' more tSan
I can tell. I Jiad orders to take him to
Totljze anil 4o bring blm back, and If
I stayed behind and anything happened
to him 1 would be worse off than If I
were lying beneath the ruins of Ypres.
I explained this to him and said that
I would rather take blm. God knows
whether it was true or not, but I said
it, anyway. While we were talking an
other car passed us, and as my officer
Jumped in I resolved to follow the man
who was now ahead of me.
I noticed as the car passed us that
there were two officers In It. One, a
major, was sitting beside the driver
and the other, a colonel, was In the
back. The car was about 200 yards
aheud of us, and 1 let him keep about
that much aheud all the way up to the
outskirts of the city. As we got nearer
the noise became deafening and the
i smoke began to bother us top.
Before one enters the city proper one
must cross a double line of railroad
tracks. The machine ahead of us had
just crossed these when a big fifteen
inch shell screamed over and burst Just
beside the car in front. From where
we were It looked as if the car and Its
occupants must have been wiped off
the face of the earth.
1 stopped our car to wait until the
smoke cleared away before going on.
It seemed like hours before we saw
die spot again, but when the amok#
was Anally gone you can Imagine our
surprise at seeing the car turned com
pletely around and coming toward us.
The chauffeur was gathering speed
all the time, and when be passed us his
car was going at a fairly decent pace.
We bad time enough, though, to see
one of the most horrible sights that 1
witnessed (luring the whole time I was
9t the front.
The car Itself was in awful condi
tion. The two rear doors were torn
away, the body was full of Jagged
boles, the front and rear mud guards
and the running board on one side were
torn off and the wind screen had been
swept away.
The major, who was sitting with the
driver, had his head and the whole side
of his body torn away, and the rest of
him was leaning on the driver, who
was being covered with the blood
which was gushing from this awful
thing beside him. The colonel, who
had been sitting In the back of the car,
was curled over on the seat, and his
head and part of his shoulder were ly
ing in a pool of blood in the bottom of
the car. To me the most terrible part
of It was the driver. He was as white
as a ghost, and his eyes seemed to be
sticking an inch out of their sockets.
His teeth were bared, and his whole
face was twisted Into the most hellish
expression one could imagine.
"Good God, he's gone mad!" cried my
officer. And I was sure of it. The offi
cer ordered me to turn around and fol
low him aud to catch bim if possible.
The car was away down the road by
the time I got turned around, but I set
out after him for all 1 was worth. I

gained on him, too, but as t went
through Vlamertinghe he was just
stopping In front of the Geld dressing
station there.
The orderly rushed out when he
j heard the ear, and 1 heard that driver
( say, "For God's sake take this thing
away from me!"
It was horrible beyond description, I
saw that poor fellow a couple of weeks
later, and he was bad enough to look
at even then. He was walking around
alone all right except that his face was
continually twisting and twitching hor
ribly. His nerve was completely gone,
and he was discharged almost at once.
For all the shock he had his was a mi
raculous esenpe.
When wo'saw'that the driver was
being taken care of we started back to
make our attempt to pass through the
burning city.
As we got nearer the city I seemed to
have lost all feeling of fear, and In fact
