BIG BROTHERS TO WAR;

To Lolita Krell, fourteen years old,
the war in Europe is the most terrible
thing that has ever happened in her
life.
With her four big brothers, Peter,
Ludwig, Joseph and Louis. and her
mother, Mrs. Augusta Krell. a widow,
she sat under the trees in Jackson
park, Chicago. They were having
their last picnic together. Joseph n

Ludwig had brought their sweethearts
with them, too, to go rowing on the

ing by the lake.
Lolita held Peter tightly by the hand
and followed him everywhere. He was
her favorite brother, and had been her
playmate ever since she could remem-
