(By Herbert Kaufman
War Is scraping the mines, shear

Hungry foundries whine for la
boris savings and ophans' pence. We
are making cannon out of daily
bread-starving knife and fork to
feed the guns.
Each new offensive is another tax
collector. The mounting toll of Grip

Progress has quit highway build

The most potent and enlightened
group of peoples Time knows have
greats of national wealth to just

Life and chattles were never be-
fore so cheap-principle never so

And yet thesa things shall sooner
come to pass because We found it
sweeter to endure a space of grief
and desolation than suffer supreme
