Does it not look as if the Scriptures

with more than 1000 of it's passengers,
the world was Mortified That was a
thing that occurred only once. Loss
aof life in great numbers occurs only
once in awhile. But now, in this great
est war of the world, thousand-nay,
ten thousand lives are being sacrificed
every hour the war continues"
