Interrupted by the Church Service Warning “Lights Out!” Dr. Leslie Tracy Gager, formerly of this city and now serving in France, has written the following letter to his mother, who resides in Stonington: Base Hospital 18, France. Dear Mother: It's Sunday again, a fact that is brought to our attention by the fact that we are allowed to sleep late on Sunday morming; that if, instead of first call at 530 a. m, as on week- days, you don't hear that eweet and comforting refrain of the bugle antil| 6 o'clock. The way you tell you have slept half an hour longer is by noting the degree of daylight which has ar- rived, the criterion being the east with which you can get into your clothes. particularly the leggings. In the darkness of 5.30 it ¥s extremely easy to get the lesging strings and their re- spective catches all mixed up so-that You don’t come out even at the top, while with a little more light you have no trouble at all and get to reveille and assembly in plenty of time to fall in with your squad and answer to roil call. After this roll call, you rush back to make your bunk and sweep around it, if you are lucky (or unlucky) enough t0 be near a broom, and get washed up vourself: and about then mess call sounds and vou rush down to “‘chow.” which is always plain, but generally catisfying. You don’t have much time after it before fatigue call blows and summons us to our various tasks— mine on the medical ward. There vou get immersed in various problems and _difficulties—of which convalescent _patients to choose to wash dishes and of which to keep the fires zoing, etc., besides our own med ical work, examinations, history talk- ing, etc., to do: ang so the day is for- gotien _until at ten another and an unfamiliar call sounds and you ara reminded that it is Sunday and church time. A" church service that is quite un- like the onc you £o to in your New Fngland mecting house Sunday morn- ing, but where you get a real message, for war and the realities 1= brings us up against burns away the non-essen- tials. . . . . There may be interrup- ns. " The most dramatic of all suct was last Sunday night when “lizhts out” was ordered just at the climax of the talk, a warning of an air raid, and we all scattered in the darkness. It did us ood to learn, as you must have read in the papers, of the cap- ture or destruction of four great di- nigibles, one of which, intact, was in a town not far from our base, and which a few of our men visited—a huge thing, 700 feet long. It is rain- ing today, ‘as it does pretty constant- y every day in these foot-hills, but up in our barracks beside a coal fir we are warm and cozy. Only present- Iy T must go down on the ward. No mail has come in for nearly two weeks now, but we are expecting a hig bunch almost any time now. LESLIE. Brown. College Year Shortened.
