Others beside the CRIMSON have called the Widener murals glorified war posters, but hitherto these persons have avoided being heralded as boyish, mayhap because of their rather obvious graying hair. Few will question the aptness or the simile who have not been prepared for the first sight of these works by a careful instruction as to their hallowed origin...

The fact, however, that the recumbent figure in the left hand picture wears a helmet strikingly like that of a German infantryman and that standing over him there is an obvious Yankee doughboy clutching Victory and Death lends color to the theory that the natural effect should be one of intense sympathy for the American and something very like hatred for his slayer...
