"Who started this warf It doesn t
matter a darn who started it. They
started it and Wen finish it. We're
going to do our bit and we re going
to do it up brown. The Kaiser s hard
nut, but we re going to crack it,
"Gee, I can't say enough about the
Red Cross Association and if you knew
all the good it does, you'd help it ten
times as much as you do. In the Amer
lean Civil War 2215 per cent of the
wounded died according to your own
statistics. In the present war only 21a
per cent of the wounded men die. And
the difference is simple, single insti-
tuition. Thank God for the Red Cross
Association. With it working as it
does man has a better chance of liv-
ing after he's shot than he had before
he charged"
"We can't do very much as indi-
viduals but all of us put together and
pulling together can do deuce of
lot to win this war;
eff you want to do something for
the boys, send them candy and candles
and send them often. Just this word of
advice-whatever you send, send-it in
small parcels The Sammies have
great deal to carry and the government
doesn It furnish them a 'flivver to cart
their parcels from trench to trench. -
FThe biggest bi-product of the war
is going to be a practical, shirt-sleeve
religion of the sort exemplified by our
chaplains and 'Y' men. They re not
goody-goody hypocrites; they're real
men that command the admiration of
every soldier in the trenches and lots
of the Sammies and Tommies are com
ing back here determined to be more
like the 'sky-pilots' they met out
three.''
"Don't worry about the boys that
are coming back. They IRE going to be
better than they were when they went
not on the outside maybe-but better
down here where it counts-in the
heart. !"
"I have no use for people who say
Canadians and Americans should never
be sent across. Now that we've been
forced into this war it s privilege and
a God-send to be able to fight it in
another mans country instead of in
our own.''
AS for atrocities, when you find a
man who hopes and wishes the Germans
won't commit them, put it down some
where-he's got wishbone where his
backbone ought to be.''
"War is the greatest school in the
world because it teaches democracy
Back home some of us were million
aires and masters of arts, but at the
front we were all privates and better
yet pals. The soldier, whether he s
Cornell graduate or an I. w. W., is
just human being and comrade out
there and he's bound to be better and
nobler for having learned the virtues
of his fellow-men.'
"Tn the English and French hospitals
the Germans prisoners are treated first
That's the way we fight, thank God,
that's way we fight"
"To the mothers-send him away
with a smile. You can cry and faint
all you want to when he's gone but
smile when you say goodbye. If you
can It smile, whistle. If you do, he IL
feel heaps more like fighting for you;
going over the top for you, and dying
for you than if you hadn t nerve enough
to smile when he went to war;"
\ X
eff we were just a mob and made
good, your boys, drilled and with a
United people behind them are bound
to make good"
"Your three great Presidents have
done a great deal for your United
States. Washington washed it of
tocracy-Lincoln linked it with de-
mocracy-and now Wilson will give
it the will to win the world to the
same sacred cause"
oIf Caesar crossed the Rhine for
Rome, and Napoleon for France, why
can't we cross it for freedom, home
and-mother? We can and we will %
