 Everybody is familiar with the picture of the gallant men and boys emharking for the front, the weeping mothers, wives and sweet hearts clinging to their beloved to the very last minute. But the picture of battlefields and the field hospitals and dressing stations for tlie wounded are not so well enown. Such, pictures are sup @reased and the curtain is drawn ever that phase of Glorious war" The question has often been asked by those who go forth to kill or be killed, of Why have we to take part in the horrible butchery, the Infamous slaughter of other men and boys?" but somehow the men who are lucky enough to return. perhaps maimed and broken. but alive, men who have lived like rats an the trenches don't care to talk about 1t. Sir Phillip Gibbs. vet- eran war correspondent writing on the aftermath of war says:
 Many of the men who came back were in a strange mood-reet- less. morbid, neurotic. Their own people did not understand them Peace seemed flat and unprofit- able to their souls.

 The reality of war: "John Citron was with me that day when we took the machine gun nest in Veuilly Wood. We found the crew all killed except one heayy-set. bearded man and he was badly wounded.
 Just as we came up, the bearded man reached inside his tunic and fumbled for something, so emptied my automatic into him. His arm came away from his coat with a jerking, irregular motion, and his palm rested for a moment against his lips. The blood in his throat be- gan to strangle him, and he made . gurgling signing sound. His eyet rolled back and his jaw fell open.
 T went over and opened his palm to see what he had in 1t. It was the photograph of a little German girl She was round-faced and freckled and her hair was curled, for the oc- casion. over her shoulders. That must have been his daughter said Johnny Citron.

Britain Can Win War
Without j. ). Army,
Gibbs Tells Forum
Fumous Reporter
Praises America for
Aid to Homeland

Declaring Britain once thought
she could not win the war against
Hitler without an American expedi-
tionary force, Sir Philip Gibbs dis
tinguished British war correspond
ent and author, yesterday predicted
victory could be accomplished with
out another A. E. F.
To-day we want only materials to
continue the fight" he told an audi
ence of 1000 gathered Yesterday At
the Willard Hotel in the Charles
Carroll Forum. The speaker also
mentioned hopefully the possibility
of Britain using detachments Of
American specialists and technicians.
A tour of the United States, the
speaker said, had impressed him
with the great production in this
country and the help being given
Britain in materials.
Much More Confident.
"When I left London nine weeks
ago." he declared, "the spirit OF
the people had not sagged. There
was no strain on peoples faces. Eng
land today is convinced that 1t can
withstand any attack and overcome
it. We are vastly stronger than we
were a year ago after Dunkerque.
We were frightened, unsure of as
SiStance, lonely then. Today we can
hear overhead the advance Of our
air strength, see with our eyes the
magnificent ever increasing flow of
war material coming from her sis
ter democracy across the water"
A new democratic Russia. born
from the present Nazi-Soviet con-
fict and freed from the bondage OF
Communism, was prophesized by Sir
Philip.
England and America have a
mutual loathing of Communism
he added. But we must be CRATE
full for RuSSia's aid and feel a deep
admiration for the magnificent he
roism of the Russian people. 1t Is
my conviction that through this
current struggle the Russian popu-
lace will revolt against the oppres-
sion of Communistic rule and
emerge an enlightened democracy.
Blames Nazi Party.
Sir Philip said he came to the
United States not to plead the cause
of Great Britain, but the cause of
world justice. He named as the
foe of everything decent in the
world not the German nation, but
the Nazi party leaders and their
followers.
Hitler, he reiterated cannot, must
not and will not get away with it.
Sir Philip was introduced by the
Rev. DR.. James A. Magner, procura-
tor of the Catholic University of
America and chairman of the TO-
rum. Many distinguished persons
