All London Now Changed. “I wonder whether London will ever be the same happy, thoughtless city it was in the old days,” said a British army captain one day as our train roll- ed through the parklike country, with the tiny green flelds, winding-lages|. and thatched stone houses. * ' His name was famous wherever the union jack waves, just as are those of Mathewson, Wagner and Cobbunder the Stars and Stripes, for he was one of England’s famous cricketers and had played in every part of the globe where the British game has followers. Just « as he had played for the national hon- or on the field of sport, he was fighting for it on the field of battle, “It’s the same ‘buckle up and face the ball,’ for. British wpirit never dles, but the smiles, the laughter-ang; the music are gone,” was the way he phrased it. Tears well from the eyes of gray H haired mothers in black, frem , the|] } stern faced soldiers back -for a breathr i of home after the months of fighting, from pale young eyes of British blue. Along the Strand, favorite of topical song, the stream of humanity never o ceases. Twiee each day, ' = and evening, it halts as.the. ambu- | lances slowly make their way to his- toric Charing Cross station, just off k Trafalgar square. One ambulance at g the station draws the curious. This 18 not one, but a hundred or mere, som- ber gray vans marked with red Mal- i tese crosses, filling the long, hilly road- i way at the station side. q A train is coming from the coast bringing the wounded, and-only a few, ft rom the fields of France. On a train 3 shed platform, side by side and end to S " end, the stretchers are spread, cover- 3‘ ing it with a mantle of tan canvas. The hurrying station crowd: stops. 1 Some were elbowing to gates for coun- tryside homes, some arrivipg from 1 lands beyond the seas, others bidding t tearful farewell to loved ones, healthy and strong, leaving for the front on long trains from opposite platforms to the grim symbols of the future homecoming, if there be a homecom- ing. The train glides sllently to & stop, a white clad nurse in each door along its side, the ambulance orderlies pick up their stretchers. Wrecked hu- |/ manity 1s to be carried away. It is part of every day’s routine in London, as regular as the twice daily mail in any of the 10,000 small towns in our home country. The first ambulance 18 loaded and rolls out of the station. When the Vans Arrive. It was only a narrow lane through [ the crowded station courtyard amnd . down the bustling Strand, hushed for the time save for the stifled sobs- for || “those who will not return, those who - have gone or others who in their young manhood are to go. Another follows, then another, each one brings a thou- sand heartaches. Under the first archway stood a chit of a girl. A cheap ribbon was the only ornament on her little hat, the lace on her waist of frayed lavender silk was torn, her spindly shanks were set in soiled white boots with heels of luddc- vous height. The little purse she open- ed held a big English penny and only one. “A rose for a penny,” said the flower woman, and the last penny went for a red rose. Some had bought dozens, others had armfuls. She ran behind one of the gray am- 7 bulances slowly pleking fits way through the human lane. A skinny arm flashed in lace and lavender and the rose fell inside. Tears streaked ihe little rouged cheeks as she faded: into the crowd. Others threw their armfuls. For every ambulance there were roses, Sometimes in the shadowy interfor a hand would wave. Ocea- sionally one would feebly try to rise. It was home again in England after the hell of war. Usually only a nurse would gratefully nod in appreciation {or those too weak to answer. . !
