Washington, Oct. 17. When Heinle goes marching home againthe very sight of him. will, make the German folks sick., ' :V'--S - ?'vr That he la starting for home is sura. either retreating, burning and fighting his way back, or peacefully, on trains, in response to President Wilson's de mand that every German soldier get back into Germany as quickly' as he can, before peace can be considered, t I saw some hundreds of thousand ot him start oft, to war In 1914. Thay were strong on singing. One peculiar Ity of the derman soldier was that ha did not seem to care for flowers. While Austrian. French and even English soldiers were picking autumn flowers by the wayside and decorating their bosoms, their rifles and even their freight cars with golden-rod and asters I never saw a German soldier wearing a flower. Their songs were all heavy, sonorous chants, fitting for the tramp or ther, huge boots, ana they never had bass, alto and tenor voices In their choruses. They always sans In unison; only the soprano air. Of all the songs they ever sang I can't think of any one that will be fitting for them to sing as they re enter Germany. They will go home without music or celebration ot any sort. It will not be until these German soldiers, have gone back Into Germany that the German people will with a sickening sensation realize that they have been whipped. The German gov ernment may be able to keep the se cret from them until then, but the presence of millions of Gerihan sol diers on Germany soil will tell the story to the German people. The Austro-Hungarlans will' go back into their own country from Russia singing and dancing, and if there are any flowers to be found anywhere in the fields, the Austrian soldiers will be wearing them. The favorite stunt of an Austrian soldier is to stlok flower behind each ear. I lived with the Austrian army, for three months and I know that the men in that army will go baek home with the idea that they have been lied to by their government.' When the Austrian soldiers went Into Russia four years ago, each one of them 'be lieved as he hadi been taught from the cradle to believe that the Rus sians were demons and that their' life dream was to seize as much of Austria-Hungary as they could get. They know now that this was a He. The Austrlans who go home from the Ital ian front can go home singing.- - They have discovered . from personal ob servation that unredeemed Italy; m which they have been fighting, is really populated by Italians and that, by rights, it belongs to Italy. Auotrlans Will Celebrate. The return of the Austrian army to its home soil will not create the same sickening sense of defeat In the minds of the Austrian masses that will be felt in Germany. Where the Ger man soldier, returning home, will Arid a sickly welcome, the Austrian sol dier's returnillJindQUbiedlvbe Jthe occasion of celebrations. Ever since the Russian collapse the Austrlans have had nothing to light for except the success of the German kaiser. The Turkish soldier .if he returns home and lays down his arms, will be met with feasting and rejoicing, also. He went into the war because he was afraid Russia would aelze Constantinople. Eighteen month ago he discovered that Russia had no such aim. Since then, the Turk has had little reason for belnff In the war. except to help the alien German rulers. ' Thousands of Bulgarian soldiers lay down their arms with delight. I know 40 of them, in one little group, to whom the coming of peace brought Joy. They werp Bulgarian boys who were Students in the American Presbyte rian Agricultural college outside Salonikl. For several years they had ' studied, in this college. Always, from I the flagstaff of the school floated the (Stars and Stripes. Under that flag they learned to read and write both the' Bulgarian and thp English lan guages. They were drafted into the Bulgarian army and they went oft U var singing. When America entered the war over a year ago there were at least 40 heavy hearts In the "Bul garian army. Not one of these boys could have fired'on the American flag. I And there were thousands of ' such ' boys In the Bulgarian army who had ihln ame reeling toward the, flags of the allies, after the Stars and Stripes was carried into battle against their side. The heaviest-hearted. ladenest booted soldier in the world Is that atupld, ugly-uniformed, misled and lled-to soldier from Germany. His return to German soil will make a panic; there will be no welcome for htm. And yet, to save his life and to save what little of old Germany still remains, he must go back home. America, through President Wilson, had told him so. 1U1H HM3K Burned So Could Hardly Stand It. Cuticura Healed. "I had ecsema on my head and it got all over me.
