HE NEEDS NO CONDOLENCES
American Soldier Representative of
Nation in Battle for Defense of Its
Liberties, Says Writer.

The American soldier is not per-
son to be pitied or to be condoled
with He is the chosen representa-
tive of the nation in the great battle
for the defense of those liberties. for
which his ancestors fought, and
which they secured through centuries
of struggle, says the Christian
Science Monitor.
No one dares to be sorry for
Washington or for Montgomery, or
for the farmers who fell at Lexing-
ton. But there is a strange feeling
of pity for those unknown British
soldiers who fell by Concord bridge
or in the Middlesex woods because
their cause was lost cause and a
bad one.
And 50 no one need ever pity any
soldier in the armies of the repub-
hc, even should he leap "the golden
stile." Principle makes its demands
necessarily on the men and women
of the world, and, if they are wise,
they obey those demands, no matter
where the demand may take them.
