Back home the boy in the camp was
a doctor. a dentist. a banker, a rea’

even an idler of wealth. They have
with the putting on of their uniform

The boys are fighting the kaiser in

worse than the kaiser. their ‘thouhgts
of "what is going to happen at the end

and have conquered. then there is
nothing that can stop them. even if
they lose their earthly body. because
like the old song about John Brown.
"His Soul Goes Marching On." As
this mental battle is being won by
the boys each day and they are get-

morally to say nothing of physically.
They cheer up and forget their trou-

‘think this and then forget them. Not
that they are indifferent. but they real-
