The blood curdles with hate when we see our country being attacked for no reason other than selfish ambition; then pride thins the blood and sends it gushing through the veins as we see the lovers kiss good-bye and the hero leads his army forth to face the giant shells of steel, which are to be hurled at them by the Kaiser's 42 centimetre guns. As we see the most powerful of all guns sending forth these giant explosive shells, and watch them bursting in th midst of our men, the nerves tingle to the tips of the fingers.
