"Convinced as we may bo of tho need to conquer, enthusiasm foi tho war

but I can not tell you the suffering we endure." A lieutenant in the samo army
writes lamenting that "the war goes on endlessly swallowing up men, treasure,

"Aiways the same picture; we are both doing tho same, wo are tho samo. And
