All these remarks tend toward ono

to 60 into battle. Even though he
knows very well that the chances OF his
being killed or severely wounded are
comparatively small, yet the thought of
placing himself in post OF danger face

to him.

But this is not that sort of war.
Germany must herself writhe and
suffer. even as Belgium, France and
Englar., he suffered. She sees it

she has forced upon the people of
