PEACE TALK
With persistent daily rumors
of peace, it is interesting to look
at the situation from the view
point of the soldier, one of those
who will be released from that
fighting hell when peace is de
clared.
The followirg is i n ( xtract
firm an article in Leslie’s by C.
V. Combe Ng.238. Little Black
Devils, Canadian Army.
Today the world is in the 5th
year of its rebirth. As never be
fore German Kultur is in the
dock with humanity its accuser
and judge.
America took over two years
to see the light, but she has seen
it and has risen to the occasion.
She, like all honest nations seeks
to convince germany of the error
of its ways. She realizes that
the only way to convert that
country is to crush her proud
armies, to teach Germany a new i
and purer faith in right and jus
tice.
Human wellwishers the world
over design that this war shall
end all war, autocracy,arrogance
and injustice on the earth.
Men, young, strong, ambitious
powerful, are mutilated, dying
and dead, literally by millions
for these ideals. Their sacrifice
is infinitely greater, infinitely
sadder and nobler than any the
stay-at-homes can make.
I have gazed upon the mang
led forms of dead and dying
men. I myself have been aban
doned for dead on the battlefield
I have suffered from German
gas, from German barbarity in
prison camps, have known my
comrades mutilated in death by
brutalized Huns.
I have seen the fair provinces
of France andBelgiuin desolated
with an incredible desolation.
I have gazed in incredible pity
on women outraged and children
killed by kultur. But above
the horrors of war there re
mains a singing bird, a mothers
love, a soldier’s sacrifice.
It is memory of the good with
the bad in these dark days which
keeps our faith serene that out
of this great evil will come a
greater good; that out of com
petition and jealousy shall come
co-operation and love: out (f
w’r shall come universal peace:
that out of great wealth and dire
poverty shall come complete hap
piness for the entire human fam
ily. But first must come more
of Armageddon until the Hun &
the spirit of the Hun in the
world are vartuisktd utterly.
We fight not for victory as
such but as a means to a demo
crat c leagt e of iree nations
band* d together to enforce
peac \ justice, law and liberty in
tile world. Then who
dies if freedom lives? Who
lives if freedom dies.
