BURGEON TELLS OF HORRORS BEHIND GERMAN LIN KS WHILE GUNS ROAR ON SOMME FRONT A graphic account of the horrors of warfare in Northern France is i.lven hy Dr. I.. Schmidt, a POI "eon anti chuula'ti witt, one of ?he Prus sian regiments. He is frank tn his disclosures of the tremendous losses suffered by the Prussians due to the Incessant hammering of the lirltlsh. "The dead and dying are every where," he writes. "In this terrible war blood is flowing freely all the time. No matter in what part of our extensive front you may be, you will see the horror of the contllct. Yet there are certain spots where the suf fering is more acute, the scenes more pathetic, and the tragedy more heart rending for the time being. Such is the case at the Somme, where I am oil duty just now. "Though we were distant several days' march from this particular part of the front, we already had some Idea of the ferocity of the fighting that had been raging for months. It was communicated to us in the con stant rattling of windows wherever we stopped, in the incessant thunder of the artillery and the numerous aeroplanes which How overhead. "We did the greater part of our marching at night, lt was nil like a dream-this marching in long, silent, gray columns In the silvery moonlight through towns and villages that soon appeared like spectres in t'he distance. It was all so weird. When the white, fleecy clouds appear ed and hid the face of the moon and the cold, sleety rain cut and beat' in j our faces, we thought of those at home, comfortably tucked in their j beds. .> "However, that is a part of war only a small part of what happens at the front. Troops a Sorry Sight. "We became aware of this when we marched into a village directly behind the firing line. Here we met troops who had been relieved after | seve'ral days' hard fighting, and who were now to take much deserved rest and recuperation. What a sight I they were! They were covered from head to foot with mud, and their faces were marked with deep, 'heavy lines that showed the strain and suf fering they had undergone. Many had their heads bandaged; others their hands and feet. Some were so exhausted that they lagged behind and were barely able to crawl along. What a picture! Infantry and cav alry, munition and supply wagons, light abd heavy guns-all came in endless columns. "We marched slowly to the field hospital, where we were to relieve those who had been so long on duty. This hospital was widely scattered. The wounded were housed in the church, In the village Inn, In the bar racks and in all kinds ol' buildings. Our guides led us through the whole village in order to familiarize ?is with the surroundings. They left us with tho cheerful information that an at tack by the British was Imminent, and that we could expect to see a bombardment momentarily. Horrors of Drum Fire. "The first day passed quietly enough. However, about 10 o'clock at night of the third day that we were In the village the British made a furious attack on our lines. How can I describe it? The term 'drum Aro* means nothing to him who has never heard it. For twenty hours this bombardment continued with not even, the intermission of a moment. Thousands of guns poured forth fire and destruction. It was very much like a thousand giants wielding huge hammers, still all striking at once with might and main on thc anvil, and working In frenzied haste. lt was as If hell were working feverish ly to kill every living thing and not to rest until every creature and every blade of grass had been destroyed. "Silently we stand and look out Into the night. The houses and the trees, the whole lnndscapo are illu minated by the belching artillery-like flashes of lightning In n thunder storm. Our thoughts are with the men in the first line tronches. Not a OA LOM EL 1 ) Y NA MITES A SLUGGISH LIVED Crashes Into Sour lille, Making You Sick nnd You Ixise a Day's Work. Calomel salivates! It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug gish liver. When calomel comes Into contact with sour bile it crashes Into It, causing cramping and nausea. if you feel bilious, headachy, con stipated nnd all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a 50-cent bottlo of Dodson's Livor Tone, which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if lt doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without mak ing yon sick, you just go back and got your money. If you take calomel to-day you'll be sick and nauseated to-morrow; besides, lt may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up fooling great, full of am bition and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleasant and safe to give to children; they like it.-Adv. word is spoken, but within us all is : tho silent hope that our brothers will not give way. Who will be the stronger? That hail of iron and steel, or that living wall of brave and faithful men, whose bodies stand between the enemy and the Father land? "For twenty hours this thunder continues; then there is a sudden pause. For the present the battle ls over. "Now our work begins. For hours tho god of war has raged there at the front. Hate and bitterness and death have had their sway; now begins tho work of love, of ministration and healing. | "The numerous dead are beyond all help. Where they battled and fought they wili find their graves, but where there is a spark of life 1er , whero j there is the least chance of hopo, all the skill of the doctor and surgeon will como into play. Automobile truck after automobile truck, bear ing the wounded, comes from the front. Pale, Ump, their faces be- j spattered with blood, the trucks are crowded with wounded men. Some have been bandaged hurriedly on the firing line to stay the flow of blood. "Carefully the wounded are placed on stretchers and carried to the ope rating rooms. Not one of the mon utters a word of complaint, even ? though their faces show the pain they are undergoing. Not ono asks j to be minister to first; all are patient and silently await their turn. The doctors with keen eyes quickly select I those who require attention at once. Often a few seconds will save a life, | and these doctors at the front, of whose great work the public knows but little, never waste a second. "This is the time when medical skill counts. Many a mother who after the war will enfold her son In her arms can thank the silent, faith ful work of the surgeon for this blessing. No Host for Surgeons. "While the battle of the Somme raged there never was any rest for the surgeon. While the guns thun dered it simply meant that ho must work earnestly and quickly, for soon more wounded men would be brought in. Often a shell would disturb the electric lighting system, and lt was then necessary to work with the light of an acetylene lamp or even a can dle. "I do not care to say much about the horrors of the operating room. To go into details would only cause pain, and surely this war has caused enough pain. lt. was heart-rending to see the legs and arms of strong, healthy men amputated who only a short time before were in fine, robust health and spirits. The British are using gas bombs very freely in their assaults, and hundreds of men suf fering from gas poisoning have also j to be treated. Among the wounded are all kinds and conditions of men from the ordinary peasant to the col lege professor. lt is a great relief for the surgeons when, after a hard night's work, all the wounded have been tenderly cared for, and they can snatch a few moments' rest. And yet it ls hard when they rise from only a few hours' rest to be again called to the operating room." PRISE OF CHARGE.

After the dry spring we have had, June and July may be wet. Pre pare for this by seeing to it that all ditches and drains are open and free from all obstructions, so that they may do their duty. 2. Likewise, go over all terraces, strengthening the low, weak places against future Hoods. 3. The farm woman has a right to plenty of flowers and green lawns; help your wife In her efforts to have these. 4. If you have not screened against flies and mosquitoes, do so at once. Attention to this may save doctors' bills. 5. Plan an occasional fishing and1 picnic party. Such outings send us back to our jobs refreshed and Invig orated. (5 Keep up successive plantings of grazing crops for the hogs, particu larly peas, beans and peanuts. Wo must feed our hogs on something other than two-dollar corn. 7 Tho biggest job now in making all of our crops yield to thc utmost is to give thom tho bes! of cultivation; therefore keep the cultivators Rolng, killing weeds and saving moisture.

Washington, June 7.-The Gover nor of South Carolina reports the State's totftl registration at 128,039, divided as follows: White. C0.G29 Colored. 66,905 Allen. 447 Allen enemies. 58 . Indicated possible exemptions, S5.381; State's estimated eligibles, 137,861. Hegistration returns came in slow ly tooday and to-night from Tuesday's j great military census, preventing ? anything approaching a conclusive j estlamte as to the number of men ac tually enrolled. An ofllelnl statement to-day, however, said such complete I returns as were at hand indicated that the 10,200,000 estimate of tho census bureau for the total number of men within the prescribed ages ? would not be equaled. I A feature of the few complete ro ! turns ls the high percentage of lndl I cated exemptions, averaging approxi mately 50 per cent of the total regis tration. Officials pointed out that this did not mean actual exemptions, as the indicated figures included all married men and those In executive, judicial or legislative office. Until exemption regulations have been pro mulgated, it will be impossible to say how many of these will be Included in those to be marked pff the mill?? !%tary rolls. In regnrd to the married men, Secretary Baker said to-day that I in all the letters he had received on j the subject of exemption, not one i even suggested that marriage should I establish a class exemption. He add I ed that it was not the purpose of the department to make such a ruling, but that Individual cases would be dealt with on their merits, no mattre what the reason for exemption might be. The Secretary, who was out of the city on the night of June 5th and yesterday, returning this morning, was enthusiastic over the results of i registration. He expressed his appre ? elation of the work done by the Pro j vost Marshal Gen. Crowder and by ? State and municipal officers, declar j lng the day had been "a spectacular demonstration" of the solidarity of the American people and of their high patriotism, of which the enroll ment was the best evidence. For himself, he said, he had never doubt ? ed for a moment that the response would be what lt was. Mr. Baker thinks it will bo some time before the regulations govern ing exemptions are issued. They are in process of formulation by a com mittee headed hy Gen. Crowder. The complete working out of these regulations and appointment of ex emption hoards, the Secretary said, will precede the issuance of regula tions to govern the selection of men for examination. Exemption boards probably will he localized as much as possible to make it easy for selected men to get to the place of examina tion without interfering any morel than is absolutely necessary 'with' their regular occupations. TAKE THE LOAN. (By Edward Everett Hale.) Come, freedom of the land, Come, meet the great demand, True heart and open hand, Take the loan! For the hopes the prophets saw, For the sword your brothers draw, For liberty and law, Take the loan! Ye ladles of the land, As ye love the gallant band, Who have drawn a soldier's brand, Take the loan! Who would bring them what she could, Who would give the soldier food, Who would staunch her brother's blood, * Take the loan! All who saw her hosts pass by, All who joined the parting cry, When we bade thom do or die, Take the loan! As ye wished their triumph then, As ye hope to meet, again, And to meet their gaze os men, Take the loan! Who could press the great appeal Of our ranks of serried steel, Put your shoulders to 'the wheel, Take the loan! That our prayers in truth may rise, Which we press with streaming eyes On the Lord of earth and skies, Take the loan! (Written in May, 1861, at the out break of the Civil War.)
