HOW THE WOUNDED FARE.
SOME GERMAN HORRORS. PACKED IN DIRTY TRUCKS. •"" MEN COLD AND HUNGRY. (Received November 13, 7.30 p. m ,) London, November 14. The Daily Telegraph quotes from an article by Professor Ezerny, ia £ medical journal, showing the horrors of transporting wounded German soldiers. Half the wounds are due to shrai). nel and pieces of dirty uniforms are driven into the flesh. The men sometimes lie for days in trenches half full of water. They are then packed in dirty trucks previously used for conveying horse forage and ammunition, and unprotected from the cold. The men thus make train journeys lasting from four to six days. In the meantime the men's wounds are not dressed, and they receive
little food in most cases. There are no doctors or orderlies, or properly equipped hospital trains. The tents provided for the wounded men are also insufficient.
