for which the father of Pietro's pic
tured orphan died win be but fertil-

No, you find no glory of war. in
these faces we present above. In the
old woman's you find but the heart
wrenching pathos Of total loss, in the
child's, why did you kill my daddy?
What will become of me?"
The glory of war is to die bravely
for something or other, and be for
gotten soon; to make the aged who
have earned peace and happiness
with those they reared and loved glad
to die; and to rob children.
That glory" in ninety and nine
cases out of a hundred, is fake, a
brutality and a theft. God hasten
the day when men can no longer be
debauched into giving their all for it!
