look on this here young fellow as a
hayro. Andrew an me look on him
as a deserter. That's VIA he is. too.
He's left his proud position in tn in

he blames nobody. %Ivrybody is all
right. They are dom tn best they
poor things. He Wudden't fight
sojer. He wud cross tn sthreet
thin have a CONTROVERSY with
thin excellent but ill-informed
men. 1t is not tn sojer but tn thing
itsilf he hates. War. An awful
thing. Why not, if two nations quar-
give wan ~ thin an option on tn
