This is a Bible verse which almost
anyone can repeat. There is per.
sonal reaction to the, words hath mot
where to lay his head" which makes
them not to be forgotten. = 80
They express what is most forlorn
in human experience. What dread is
so terrible as that of being without
shelteHH If a friends house burns
doasxe hurry Ito offer help and sym.
patty II a city is stricken we raise
funds for the homeless, as in the San
Francisco fire.
But when nations population is
driven from the shelter of its homes,
when the women, children and old
men of a hundred towns have not
where to lay their heads, we accept
the horror because "This is war"
We can measure war economically
by its cost in money; we can value
1t scientifically by its marvellous in
struments of destruction; we can com
pute it potentially by the size Of its
armies and navies; but we ca nnever
estimate it humanely because we
have no gauge for human pain.
We know what misery would mean
to US if we were set adrift on the
face of the earth in Christmas wealth
er, but we cannot imagine the ag.
onies OF people whose homes are
in the line of advance of some tire
mendous offensive
Yet there is sad toll of little ma.
tions which have been martyrs in the
strife OF the great powers: Belgium
Poland, Serbia, Armenia, Montenegro
and now Rumania. 1t is not possible
to estimate the total of the refugees
exiles, orphans and outcasts which
this war has made, the great hosts of
derelicts who have not where to lay
their heads.
We think of projectiles, shells, gre
nades, liquid fire, shrapnel, bayonets
pistols and knives as the munitions OF
war. But war has other weapons

count in wars losses. Any war is
a war on the helpless as we'll as the
strong, on babes as we'll as men.
And for every shout of those who
rejoice over victory there rises the
wailing Of cold and hungry children
in the land which has suffered de
feat. ..,
Soldiers as individuals are not nee
essarily responsible for the robbing
burning and numbering of innocen,
victims; any army in action is in it
self an instrument of atrocity; like
plague of locusts, it sweeps a greer
country brown as it passes.
Even the foxes which have theil
dens and the birds of the air which
have their nests are more fortunat.
than the helpless civilians of a van
pushed land.

Of the young dead TO gain time, for the place Is
not very reasSuring l must confess, we divide
up the pious duty between us ana each one Gov
ers a certain line with military precision.
1 do not think that any human imagination
can ever conceive anything as sad as this vast
cemetery OF young soldiers in the desert, in the
silence which one yet knows to be watchful,
hostile and treacherous and with these horrible
neighbOrs whose menace one feels hanging over
all. Everything is white whitish. starting
with the soil of Champagne, which would be so
by itself, without the innumerable little par
ucles OF ice with which ii is covered. Not bush,
not leaf not even a blade OF grass; nothing
but this earth Of pale ashen gray, in which
they have buried soldiers.

him away, draw in my notebook plan of the
cemetery, counting the rows of the tombs and
the number Of tombs in the rows. Hark! |

cession From what direction are they
coming? They are surely meant for us. for
their noise ends with that sort of little song,
"Kouyou! Koui-you!" which bullets make
when they come TO end in your direction and
very near to you. Silence falls again after this
but hasten with my sketching
AS stand here the horror of this place sinks
deep within me. All! this cemetery, which
instead Of coming to an end like real things
fades little by little into ar enveloping mist;
these graves, these graves, all studded with
white icicles, which have run into the form OF
tears; this Wilderness of the soil; this white
ness of everything, and death, which comes
to hover with a sound like the cry OF
some bird. Over there on the tomb of Pierre

had been left there by the grave diggers, and
he is burying the little identifying bottle. Again

Now a shrapnel shell comes. Even before

much TO the right and the shower of bullets

that death surrounds me, that the fog alone pro-
tect us, and my responsibility for the lives OF
my soldiers makes me SILVER; this is because l
am not performing a duty ordered of me. To-
day it is only an excursion, and under these
circumstances If a tragedy happened TO one OF

At this very moment a thick plantation of
graves begins to show itself in field on the
left OF the road crosses, many crosses of white
wood, aligned in serried ranks numerous
stalks in the vineyards OF Champagne; a humble

large, all powdered with frost like the plains
around and infinitely desolate in this white
