What The Music OF War
Really Sounds Like

In the January Noman's Home
Companion Charles T.. jefferson.
pastor Of Broadway Tabernacle.
New York City, writes a war
article entitled A Continent on
Fire, an interesting extract from
which follows.
No one in time of peace can
understand what war is. We
may prepare for il. but we do
not realize what II is we are pre-
pairing for. Military preparations
are quite interesting, even eXcit.
ing. Boys and girls are always
fascinated by the paraphernalia
of battle. Never have the in
struments Of war been so intri-
cate and sparkling as now All
the trapplnRs OF the military
world are alluring.
Military music is full Of pierre
ing notes which set the corpuscl.
es Of the blood dancing. But
military music of war. The mu-
sic Of war is the groans of dying
and wounded men, and the sobs
of broken.hearted women. Mil
itary music is one of the embroid
cred evils thrown over the face
of war to make boys think that
war is glorious.
