That is ''thc tragedy of the chill

children orphaned in consequence of
the war. One contemplatcs this trag-
cdy with special horror. even if he is
not a sentimcntalist. He contcm-
plates it in its present agony of hun
ger and cold to which these waits are
exposed: he shudders with horror
when he realizes that death will claim
these babes in terrible numbers: but,
he contemplatcs this tragedy also in
terms of the future. And, for those
who would peer into the future, there
is terrifying picture of the gen
