THE PATH OF GLORY
SENTIMENT,
Discussing a t>oular novel of little
worth, a well known critic said:
“The pathos of the book is really
bathos. It reminds me of a man’s wid
ow'. The good woman was about to sell
her household furniture, her rugs, plated
ware and what not. As she was going
over these articles her eves filled with
tears, a host of memories rose to her
mind, and, laying aside half dozen
knives, she said:
‘‘Oh, dear. I can t let' these go, they
have been In poor George's mouth too
often.”
W
THIS is the real war picture. The dead body dropped behind, the live vulture wait
ing to make sure that the b ody is dead.
The drums beating, the trumpets playing, ambition marching-- all that is only the
scum and surface of war.
Death commanding and bodies lying dead---THEY ARE THE REAL WAR.
