to njake the world safe for democracy.
Some were' gasstd, some
were shell :hocked, while others
were exposed to the hard life of
militarism ? nd warfare.
~rA~nother-pathetfc picture came
to my mini as I behold these men
was that p-obably most or some
of these r.in will nevei be the
men they should b? in this life again.
They are no good to them
selves nor to their fa*?vlies and
loved ones.. Shut off fror.; relativ- es,

This point gives us an idea of .the
cost of war. The World's war
ceased in 1918, but the eflect, the
result, the~ptrm, still go 19 on.
Some one has said, war is hell.
With' the author f?heartily coincide.
From time memorial even
up to this day, ihe earth has been
drinking tie blood of humanity.shecl
in the humble destruction of
war. The moan,' the groans, the
pangs of this deadly foe, are al^ most
indescribable.
We look pver in Chin.-, at this
hour, and we see the bodies of
men, women and children shot to
pieces. We hear the hun oling of
machine g' rs, the explosion of
bombs, the 1 umming of v-ar planes,
raining death and-destruction
upon innoc?nt lives. We hear the
agonizing cries and moans of the
wounded. We see men und women
and children- runrrr.g?anddodging
from the explosh'a-bcmbs
of the enemy, as frighte-.ed chick
