those days when the governments said
to the public, go on about your busi-

war because we are military men and

We will not have to go through that
terrible experience Of proving to ivory
headed military men OF the old school
that this is our country as we'll as
theirs, and that our hearts will break
even more readily than theirs, perhaps,
if our country goes down to defeat. The
English people had to go through that
terrible experience. Those black days
