dealing with the war NO longer find
a ready market A we'll known auth
or recently declared that the public
is tired of var and all that pertains
thereto
No doubt there is much truth in this
contention. but it does not mean that
the people will give up their memories
Of the great conflict or that they are
going to forget the great sacrifices
made.
For four years and more the word
was in a state Of constant excitement
Some let-down must inevitably FOL
low. This Is perfectly natural The
unbalanced or insane person cannot
let subject go. but dwells upon it
to the point of obsession. II is the
mark of sanity to release one idea
for another.
The public cannot always remain at
the war pitch If it did ii would lose
its equilibrium But the soldiers OF
the war will not he forgotten, nor
will the outlines of the mighty conflict
suffer eclipse In fact. they will grow
clearer and more majestic with the
perspective that comes with time.
