He ts 6lowly awaiting the end which may come any day. Johnson is in another ward, with heart trouble; and Teese has some ailment which no one seems to be able to define. Po~t Helped Him On another cot is a husky lad with trench feet whose claim Winnetka Post padded wa'ns; there you wi11 find the shell shocked boys. One of these thinks he is in the Guard House and will be released tomorrow. Another pins paper tails on a donkey he has drawn on the put through, and who is now happy that he will be cared for the rest of his life. Down the corridor a few feet is the entrance to a room with barred door and walls. The others are doing various other things but in reality t~y are all waiting for the end,-for they are those of us who can never be the same men as in the days of '17 and ' 18.
