 q love my wife and my mother more than my own life" are the words said to have been used by him at the last awful moment.

won, and about an they have demon
strated is that there isn't much
chance for either side to lick the 9TH

Even if the allies drive the Ger
mans out of France and Belgium
they will find that even if it is long
ways to Tipperary it's a darned sight
longer way to Berlin. Licking the
Germans on their own ground viii
be about the toughest job the allies
ever tackled; and it wouldn't be a
good thing for humanity for the Ger
mans to be crushed. For that mat
ter, it isn't going to help civilization
for either France, Germany or Eng
land to be crushed.
For weeks and weeks thousands of
perfectly good human lives have
been snuffed out in order that first
one side and then the other might
gain a few yards of ground; and the
net result is more widows, orphans
and Cripples.
Eve been pulling for a draw from
