War Is Fairer
Than Hunting,
Correspondent Says
When Arms and Leas
Are to Be Protected
Mind Is Always on Come
By WILLIAM L. WHITE.

SOMEWHERE IN FINLAND-A
great many strongly unfavorable
things have been written about war.
I have written some Of them myself
before I ever saw war, and now
that I have, I am very glad they
turned out to be true.
But there are some nice things
about it only people are afraid to
write them for fear that some fool
may jump to the conclusion that
war as whole is nice, which would
be dangerous and terrible lie. But
still I am going to take this risk
of telling some of the nice things.
Parts of war are like the most
interesting hiking or hunting trip
you ever took. only war is cleaner
and fairer than hunting, and is like
hunting would be If the quail had
automatic Bofors guns, and so had
as good a chance Of killing you as
you have of killing them.
Nicer Than Hunting.
So it is nicer and fairer than
hunting, and yet it has the same
clean outdoors feel the same feel
of men all doing something together,
the same nice taste of lots OF hot
coffee and meat and bread after you
have worked hard in the open all
day, the same nice smell OF wood
smoke and the same sweet sleep
when you are so tired you do not
even feel that the mattress is straw,
the same nice sound Of wood fire
cracking at night in the dugout
stove, after you have hung up both
your pairs of wool soX to dry on a
string over the, stove. and laid your
boots fiat by the stove with their
soles almost touching its legs.
Then there is the danger, and this,
although / am a little ashamed to
write it, is the most fun OF all, pro-
vided, of course, that you do not
get killed or hurt, or that no one
you know does, or that it does not
come so often that your nerves 60 to
pieces, and you cringe inside a little
when you hear one even long way
off.
heal EXCltcHlcHt.
But leaving all these out, the
danger in being shelled or in lodging
belt full of machine gun bullets
is like the most exciting moment in
the best ball game that you ever
watched, or like very tense mo-
ment in card game.
Because, as in cards, keeping alive
in war requires not only plenty of
skill but also some luck, for if they
deal you the wrong cards 'or place
the shrapnel in the right place.
then no matter how skillful you are
you lose the pot, which in the case
of war is made up not Of colored
celluloid chips but of arms and legs,
some of which may be yours.
Thus we see there is little chance
of your getting bored, as always do
at bridge, and losing interest in the
game because it is hard to care who
gets set for how many points IN
diamonds or spades.
But if it is arms or legs and they
are yours, your mind is always on
the game, and you have that same
very nice feeling when you come
through tight place and find you
have won. only it is very, very, very
much nicer.
