DR. CORNELL'S WAR
PROPHECY IS GOOD
Nephew of Mrs. Chadwick of This City Has
interesting Story From the Battle Front.
Makes Prophecies Which Have Been Ful
filled and Describes Aerial Battles.
The following story, written
I y Dr. Karl Counell of New York,
who is surgeon in charge of the
hospital founded by Mrs. Harry
Payne Whitney near Comply" 3 ,
in France, will be of interest be
cause of Dr. Connell behg b
nephew of Mrs. Edwina C
wick of this city. The following
is taken from an Omaha, Neb.,
paper;
Dr. Karl Connell, who le f t his
practice in New York abo it tvo
months ago to go to the hattrs
fields in France at the head of a
corps of surgeons, has written his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Con
nell of Omaha, of his experiences.
The letter is the first since he
sailed, although a message stat
ing at work and well was
receive'd Christmas.
He predicted in his letter, writ
ten December 25, that France
would soon begin a big offensive
movement, at the close of which
Germany would reply with an
offensive action. France's offen
sive was started recently and
now Germany is carrying out his
prediction. He tells also of
watching aerial battles, but com
plains of being close enough to
the big engagements only to hear
the cannon roar.
His letter says:
"It is lonesome, not that the
world is unkind, in fact it is tco
good—Paris crowds, pleasant
people, all so unreal for war time,
and as a whole untrue to our mis-,
sion here.
"The French have a big offen
sive under way—orders to pre
pare for 30,000 wounded. I think
that after it has spent itself, as
teke the offensivetfi a last sweep
at Pari?, providing all has gone
veil in the east. The German
trial cught to come when the
ground freezes, about the middle
to the end of January. We will
l:e worked to full capacity, if the
movement comes, and with this
iffdnsive will be busy.
"I have had for nearly a month
a service, my own, of 100 beds at
tne American ambulance in Paris.
vVill held it until Dr. Crite of
Clevel&nd arrives after January
1. when I will go to the advance
Whitney unit. Dr. Blake left me
in charge of his service while he
went on tour of the front. It is
a very nice compliment to have
him pay me, as he is probably
ihe best surgeon in the world."
"Dr. Blake and Mrs. Clarence
Mackay were married a couple of
weeks ago. Dined with them
shortly thereafter, and have call
t d on them today, leaving a beau
tiful spray of pink plum blossoms
(such is war).
"There is no fighting to see —
nothing spectacular since the
trenches faced one another two
months ago —many bitter snort
sallies, but only seen from the
trenches immediately in the
neighborhood. Ojr hospital at
Juilley is in the military zone —
we can hear the heavy artilley—
but save as one reads a thrill into
it—it is not alarming.
' I recently saw a little speck
of aTaube (German) appear over
the French lines. A few spots
of white smoke began to appear
beneath and around it, marking
the bursting of shells fired fiom
a mile beneath.
4 Soon two of the French aerc
planes circled up after the Taube
and it took a swifter flight off
down the French line with the
French machines in pursuit
After being lost to view it reap
peared having shaken off the
pursuers and hovered again over
its original field at a lower level
and was the target of some rath
er wild fire.
"S on a little silvery vertical
streak of smoke appeared be
neath, it having dropped a smoke
oomb to give the German gun
ners the range, then it htaiet
north and in a few minutes was
lost to view.
"It all looks so tinv, these lit
tle glimj ses which one gets. We
Ket only fragments of news--the
wounded are the only real, index
ot the bitterness of the mechani
cal Lat«le—the big guns, the
sharpnel ai d spitti lg machinery
—men fighting with a bravery
unequaled in history.
"Yet it has gotten the men'?
nerve- -no dou it OT the utU-r
as well. Not a woinieil man I
iiave met but hopjs he is out ol
action for the war. I'm sure it
would be the same with myself—
THE HICKORY DEMOCRAT
one feels as if t hey were not given
a chance to fight—just mowed
down by an invisible sudden
death.
"The trench lif • 13 awful. I
have taken histories of the envi
ronments which have a bearing
on the cause of th? wounds.
Many men have not taken off cr
changed their clothes for two
weeks, one for six weeks. They
are indescribably filthy, and if
not well specialized to* such a
state of skin, by a long unwash
ed French ancestry—l don't think
they could live. They endure
many hardships. One man who
came in wounded and with frozen
feet had been in water up to his
waist in a trench J'or two days.
"Our Christmas party was last
night at Fayot's restaurant —
possibly a gay place other years.
A Christmas eve dinner given by
Former Ambassador Bacon to the
various members, doctors and
nurses of the Whitney unit, about
twenty, assembled. The even
ing had just begun when the
gendarmes notified the house to
close as usuaL at 10 p. m. We
started about eight of m—for
midnight mass at the Notre
Dame, but both it and the Made
leine were closed—holding no
service of Christmas joy this
year, so we rounded up at a large
Christmas tree for the soldiery
at one of the railway stations,
after which there was nothing to
do but go home---a most,unusual
procedure .a time in other j
years of peace, it is said.
"Yesterday after loon and un \
til 6:30 o'clock ChrjStrna3 even
ing I w as up in the zone north of
Juilley. It was the most pictur
-1 a*i.lr-tjryfer
Here. The country is rolling,
without farm houses, but with
quaint little villages every two
and one-half miles or s), from
which the peasantry emeige to
till the soil. These little villages
were swarming with soldiery, the
reserves of the big French attack
along the center.
"As we came through Dam
martin a quaint little village on
a hilltop about a mile off the rail
way, it was dusk. The soldiery
had been off looking theroaiside
for the great balls of beautiful
French mistletoe which grows
high like a squirrel's nest in
every other big tree of that re
gion. The somber war pall which
is spread over the whole FrencTi
people was lifted a little and they
were in merry groaps in the nar
row winaing cobble streets and
swarming in and out ofrithe
quaint houses like bees.
' 'The jackets were new and the
red trousers!2bright, unusual in
the soldiery I have seen. We
were challerged a couple of times
and showed our papers with
photographs, mission war depart
ment stamps, etc , all plastered
over. Then Ibe sergeant would
salute, we would salute, he would
tak toff his hat and bow. we would
do the same, tand over ? heart,
He would jabber something too
swift for my ear and thp sur
rounding group would smile and
we would pass on down the nar
row macadam between the lines
of poplars and oak down toward
the station.
"The cias3 of surgery' is the
same in all the hospitals. South
at Orleans and close up to the
line, opening up shiapnel and
shell wounds and draining
against infection. None of the
clean or refined surgery of home
—but large room for good judg
ment in the way each case is
handled.
"I have onfy had two die onjmy
service—one injured by a rock
blown by a bursting shell, up
through his orbit into his brain,
the other a shrapnel injury (f tle
spinal cord —a broken back with
blood poison.
"Haye had no abdominal
wounds, pentrating abdominal
viscera. Have only seen three.
They nearly all de on the fbld.
There are a few chest and head
cases, but many mangled limbs
ai d infected shrapnel cuts and
shell fras.ures. There were a
few hand grenae'e cases a whi.e
tack, but thev seem to have died
iut of faihion fcr the moment at
least.
' We may have a vty stupid
time ( r be i ) the thick it at

"Will pest this letter in the

held up. It m»y not start until
about New Year's, and you
should receive it about January
15, about the time, or a little

' If that happens you can think

Washington, Fel\ 11.—The

It was a quiet, unostentatious
affair, the ceremony beign per
formed at the First Baptist
Church,
A. McDougald gave the bride
away and the happy groom de
clares it was the most precious
gift he ever made.
The pretty, petite bride, who
will always have to look up to her
tall husband, came here some
three years ago from old Eng
land and is a first cousin of Mrs.
A. J. Hite of this citv. By her
pleasing and piquant personality
she male many friends and cap

than whom Del Rio can boast of
no more worthy, upright and
honorable citizen. He has for
some time filled the position of
chief bookkeeper at the large
furniture emporium of A. Mc-
Dougald, who values his servi

Mr. and Mrs. Seitz have made
no plans for the future but it is
hoped that thev will decide to
take up their abode in this city.
They left yesterday for the

Fraud Paint.
The worst mistake one is likely
to make in painting is wrong
paint; it i 3 easy to make.
We all say 4, Ours is the best";
and there are 1000 of us. One is
best; but a dozen are so near on
a level that no one knows, for
sure, that his is the one.
The worst paints are worst
liars; they know what they are, J
put-on a bold face, and brazen it
out.
Their one true argument is low
price; but low-price paint is al
ways, must be, a fraud; it is
made to cheat cheatahle people. l

CHAPTER V.
I would like to describe at
iength the m thod of coaling but
haven't here. Some neg
roes in frail little canoes were in
the harbor diving for small coins.
They dive right out of the canoe
into the water and you can see
them as they go after the piece
of money wnich they rarely mis 3
getting before it gets beyond
their reacK After lunih I went
ashore with a young English
man, in order to post letters for
the home folks, have a look at
Dakar and to take a few pictures.
We wtra surprised at the gaudy
dresses of the wonren and men—
but the women especially. Per
haps we would meet a coal-black
woman with turban-sbaDed
hair arrangentent with a large
figured blue calico dress and a
pair of yellow bedroom slippers,
i carrying a pink, and wbite
striped umbrella for a sunshade.
These natives here consider
themselves highly civilized, and
indged they do have a great
many of the benefits of civiliza
tion, but I regret to say that we
also saw evidences of some of
civilization's vices. The white
people speak French and many of
the natives4iave now learned it.
We found it exceedingly hot and
learned that a helmet is not a
very comfortable piece of head
wear. We finished coaling and
got under way while dinner was
in progress from 7 to 8 o'clock.
The next stop we shall make is
at Canakry on next Wednesday.
Dec. 9.—Quite an uneventful
day. We are making good speed
in a calm sea to-day, we arrive at
Conakry to-morrow morning,
Dec. 10.—This morning at
breakfast-time we cast anchor at
Conakry. A number of the pas
sengers were due to leave us here
so af tera few hour 3 in discharging
them and their baggage, we were
again under way at ten-thirty.
About four o'clock this after
noon we sighted a small speck
on the horizon. Suddenly our
boat changed its course so as to
bring us near the object sighted,
and the passengers became in
terested and rather excited try
ing to guess what was the small
speck. From the bridge of our
ship the officer on watch had seen
through his glasses a small shore
boat and in it were five negroes.
They were holding an oar in the
air as a signal of distress, so. as
we were not close to the land, the
order was given for our boat to
see the cause of the trouble.
When we had gotten along side
of the small craft away below us
on the watei, the following con
versation took place between the
ship's officer on the bridge and
one of the negroes in the boat
who seemed to be the leader.
Officer: "What do you want
—want a present?"
Negro: "Sah?"
Officer; "Da you want to come
on board? Are you lost?"
Negro: *'Yas sah, we's lost.
We wants to come on board."
Directions were given and the
rowed come up to one side and
ropes were given them and they
were lifted boat and all out of the
water UD onto our deck. While
they were in mid air there were
five scared negroes in that boat.
As soon as they landed on deck
the captain gained the informa
tion that this boat was one of fif
teen fiishing boats which on last
Saturday— five days age—were
on the Sierra Leone fishing when
a storm came up and b:ew al.
fifteen of the boats to sea, they
losing each other and all knowl
edge of how to again get to land
failed them. They had been drift
ing on the coen sea ever since
without any food save for a few
manioc roots and only a little
dirty water in the bottom of the
, boat, with the tropical sun shin
ing mercilessly upon th?m for
five days. They were given food
and the spokesman of the party
i went again to the captain and I
heard him telling the captain of
those who were on the boats of
the fishing fleet. He said his
brother, his son and both of his
wives were on some of the others
, and he hoped when he reached
, Sierra Leone that he would find
that his wives had not already
married again.
, It had been the intention of
the Captain of our boat to carry
these five men to Freetown from
which place they could very easi
ly make their way to Sierra Le
one, but after having had them
on board only an hour or so when
we encountered a cable-laying
vessel which was at that moment
looking for these same five men
we had found. We sent them to
the other boat, which had heard
of the fifteen vessels being
caught *n a storm and carried to
sea and it had set about hunting
them up. It had succeeded in
finding all of the boats with their
occupants except the one we
found and had for some time
been looking for it. It had on
board about 130 which it had res
cued. As the black men were
leaving the old chief stood up in
hii boat as it was lowered and
said to all of us, 'Thank you, sirs"
I thank you bery much, sirs."
Our sympathies went out to the
poor, half-starved men, who in
their open boat had gone for five
days with scarcely any food and
only a little water, tut who,
nevertheless were still bravely
i rowing about on the trackless
I waters trying to find their way
i home.
Dec. 11.—Nothing of impor-'
tance happened todav.
Dec. 12. —Today we are run
ning very slowly because we are
near to Grand Bassam, our next 1
stopping-place, and the captain
wishes to reach there only in the
daylight- -if we were to run fast
er now we should reach there
some time tonight.
Dec. 13.---We reached Grand
Bassam at six o'cloct thta-mewi
ing. Soon after our arrival quite
a number of small boats came
out to us to take the passengers
and their baggage ashore. It was
most interesting to see the pas
sengers get into the small" boats.
Grand Bassam has no harbor and
the boats stop about a mile or
two away from the shore while j
passengers and cargo are carried
to and from the boats by boats
twenty-five or thirty feet long
called surf boats. It being t.le
open sea where the big ship has
stopped and waves all about,
when these little boats come for
their passengers they are feeling
the motion of the water more
than we are, hence one second
they are very high UD alongside
and the next second they are
perhaps fifteen feet lower. The
only way, therefore, of getting
the people into them is to put
them into a sort of basket and
lower them with a rope over the
small boat and at the proper time
dropping them down into it.
These little boats then row ashore
and the people are hoisted in the
baskets to the pier. It is not a
very pleasant way to disembark.
Dec. 14—Sunday—our last
Sunday on board. We passed
the "Anversville." sister ship of
the "Albertville," at 6:30 this
evening. Had an extra good din
ner tonight. We are to cross the
Equator about 11 o'clock tonight.
Dec. 15.—The celebrations be
cause of the crossing of the
Equator began at eleven o'clock
this morning. There were all
sorts of contests and races during
the day and a concert and dance '
tonight. We reach Banana—the
first stop in Belgian Congo—
Wednesday morning.
Dec. 16.—We did almost all of
our packing this morning pre
paratory to leaving the boat Fri
day. At noon today we were
217 mile 3 from Banana, the
mouth of the Congo.
