THE BLUE TAG--A TALE
OF BRITISH HEROISM
Th £ story was told to a Red Cross
searcher by one of the young Ameri
cans who did not wait for his own
Government to declare war, but went
as vofunteer back in 1914. He had
-?en through the first gas attack at
Yores and was one of the few who
came alive through that murderous
ellow cloud.
"I have seen the Yser when you
could cross if_dryshcd on bodies,” he
sa-d. ”1 have seen such deeds of her
j oism in action as make any story of
old-time prowess seem tame. But
there’s one thing I saw. not in ac
tion. that chokes me up every time
I think of it.
‘There were two British lads in the
regiw snt next to us* two “brothers.
They were both fine fellows, but the
J-ler one was just about the finest
:-ar. I eve knew. They had both
ci the same girl back home, it
seems, and there had been a pretty
hot r valry between them. Well just
before they were sent out she decid
ed for the younger one. The other
*ck t I ke a man, of course. But any
nr cau’d te j he was desperately hard
t V/e always knew from the way he
foueht when his brother had had a
letter.
”T ey both got hit in the same ao
tion. There was a system then, (anc
maybe new, for ail I know,) of tag
g-ng the men for Blighty with a blut
tag, let’s say. (I think it was blue, bu'
it doesn't matter.) Of course, on!)
the oost serious cases were sent a
cross the Channel, only the men win
were thought too bad to pull througt
without the very best of care. Ii
was the older brother who got th<
Blighty. His brother, who lay nex
him at the casualty clearing station
was tagged to go to a hospital li
, France. During the night, while Hit
brother slept, the eider one changec
the tags. The younger brother wen
home and married the girl during hit
convalescence. The older one diet
before they could rectify the mis
take.”

on women's dress recently very ap
