wounded German soldiers on the
western front, in expressing his desire
to fight at the front he said:
1T Is the most poignant grief Of
my life that I am unable to take
more active part in the war. 1t Is
my earnest desire to take my place
in the trenches and to deal such
blows with our enemies as my age
and strength would permit.
II could take my place with the
youngest Of you and promise that

But the inscrutable Almighty has
willed otherwise. Into my care has
been committed by divine destiny the

and its forces on land and sea-.

its FIRST appearance, was In charge OF

In other words, the foreigner must
