CASUALLY COMPARISONS

When contemplating our casualty
lists, just remember that British cas-
ualties for the month of July, when
there was not supposed to be much
fighting on the British front, amount
ed to 67,291. The month before they
we're 141, ,147.
At the height of our military activ
ity SO far we have not begun to ap
proximate the normal British and
French losses.
Every casualty case is matter for
sympathy and serious appreciation on
the part of the people at home; but
any extensive concern over the lists
now coming in would seem shame
full thing, when we consider what oui
allies have suffered SO long and are
still suffering.
Let us not cry before we are hit
And let us not cry then, either.
