last thing returned soldiers want to talk
about are the brutalites OF war, and ii you
get q group of them together their CONVEX
sation generally turns to every other topic
under the sun. They were heart and soul
for the war-whle it lasted, but now they
want to throw off their boots and spurs and
hang their trench helmets on the wall. |
never yet met a soldier who did not abom-
mate war; yet he knew that the work had
to be gone through with if civilization was
to survive. We had to be uncivilized for
a little whle-because Germany had made
us so-in order to protect and keep intact
the precious civilization of the whole world.
Our lads are not coming home 20 strut
before us. They are coming home with the
right kind of humility glad enough to be
back again. Perhaps they will not fit at
once into the same economic places but nine
times out of ten they will be in far better
health than they ever were before Our
casualties have been, by comparison, negli-
slple, ana Wnen we consider what Great
Britain and France have suffered, we should
thank God for our escape. A few of our
men have suffered shell shock; others have
experienced the mental stress that war in
evitably brings, but of the direct tragedies
of the other countries we know nothing.
There is not household in England that
has not suffered. Let US not forget that
the British casualties alone were 658,6
men killed and 1000 900 wounded Those
of France were almost as great
Are there not bigger problems than our
own in the world? Sword and gun have
been laid aside. We helped to win the war;
we will help to win the right kind of peace
on earth. And our returned soldiers THANK
God we have many of them, and not fewN
will help us, rather than hinder US, in solv
ing our difficulties.

The Warriors Are Anxious to Return

About the last thing an American lad
thought of was the army or navy as
career. Shop and Office called him more in
sistently, since war was never thought of
as possibilty;' and the boy who, of his
own accord, went to some distant camp or
to sea was looked upon as sort of ad-
venturer, perhaps as a black sheep who
required some discipline to bring him
around to the right way of living "Weu

took the final embrace Of hero and he

made to order. They talked of these things
as does in France-At unexpected meet
ngs-and also of what became of Henry,
and whether it was true that Joe was mar
ried, and whether people really believed the
things that were being said about Louise.
AS they parted, Bill looked down at his Ger
man-made wheelbarrow and wagged his
head sadly.
"And to think" he said "when we used
to run out of Los on locations 1 wouldn't
have thought of going in anything with less
than eight cylinders"
Another camera man making trip Of 100
miles in France covered the entire scale
Of land transportation. He went to the
railway station in a limousine. There he
took q frst-class compartment, which was
shared by distinguished looking Frenchmen
with lots of beard and French women fra

Ii you have the average human beings
curiosity for things heard of but not seen,
you would feel almost kindly toward the
ticket scalper who sold you the last row in
the third balcony for four prices The
chances are that the great Bonaparte
would not play himself as we'll as some
actors have played him since, and history
records that the light on the day of his
last battle was something awful. But just
the same the show would be worth any
thing you paid for it and the film would
grow more valuable with time.
There is no use at this late date to
mourn over the fact that there were no
movie men on the job when Napoleon was
playing with the map of Europe 1t is

pictures-both motion and still-that were

pictures showing exactly how it all hap

France with General Pershng as director
was played by the Yank doughboy for all
time.
The work OF filming the war was done
by the men of the United States Signal
Corps The negatives they took We're sent
TO the War College at Washington to be
guarded there along with the other official
records of the great war. It will be used
TO show what America did when the world
stood at its crisis and also to instruct
our fighting mon of the wars to come in
matters military as they were handled in
our time.
There Is a man al special desk in an

This is a democracy; we are a nation that
justed ourselves, in the twinkling of an
eye, to the needs of war. From a normal
habit of mind we swiftly turned our atten-

The Germans talked war, lived war.
breathed war for forty long years; and
uniforms in the Fatherland were as COM

epaulet on the shoulder was as inevitable
as clock on the mantelpiece; and young
men took up soldering as a profession, just
