many promises. We are going to do on, ever so
much for those who rescue US. But no sooner has
the battle ceased, and the smoke cleared away,
than we begin losing our enthusiasm for our
saviors. These long casualty lists that are being
printed from day to day ought to open our eyes to
what we owe these soldiers; they ought to fasten
in our minds forever the meaning of the uniform.
1t cannot be expected that we remain keyed up
in our excitement The martial music does not
sound so inspiring when it is known there is no
