...away of the veneer. Each life now lost is a cut into the flesh. We have begun our real sorrows. We are feeling the terror of war. As the struggle becomes harder and our enemies seem only to gain, these wounds only strengthen our grim determination. For every man fallen, a brother will rise in his place. Life has become clouded, but not destroyed. Each dead man in France lives in the minds of our people. It makes us bitter, but it has called forth a new American spirit. Sacrifice, the greatest power of mankind, has come to permeate...

The men who signed these pledges--and mind you, they are all for small sums--should realize the responsibility they incurred to make them good within reasonable time. It would mean a good deal...
...rooms on the ground floor there is a pathetic relic of Rheims Cathedral, which has recently been sent to the Museum by a French friend of the University, who was here last year. It is a bit of molten lead which had fallen down from the roof on to the pavement, catching one or two little scraps of stone work in its fall. The relic has sentimental but not artistic value...
