VICTIM OF GERMAN "KULTUR" Irvln S. Cobb Writes of Work of Beast of Berlin, as He Saw It In London Hospital. Tn a London hospital I saw a little Sir! who had been most terribly maimed in an air raid. I am not going to dwell on the state of this child. When I think of her I have not the words to express the feelings that I have. But one of her hands was gone at the wrist and the other hand was badly shattered ; so sh was just a wan little brutally abbreviated fragment frag-ment of humanity, a living fraction, most grievously afflicted. Her wounds had ceased to pain her, the head nurse told me before we entered, en-tered, and for the rest of the time she was a good patient one of the best in the ward. She was lying, when I saw her, with her head propped upon a pillow that was no whiter than her face was, and there was a pitiful wraith of a smila on her poor little pinched commonplace common-place face, and to her breast, with the bandaged stump of one arm and with her remaining hand that was swathed in a clump of wrapping, she cuddled up a painted china doll which somebody some-body had brought to her, and she was singing to it. The sight, I take it, would have been very-gracious In the eyes of his imperial impe-rial majesty of Prussia except, of course, that the little girl still lived ; that naturally would be a drawback to his complete enjoyment of the spectacle. spec-tacle.
