...Wells's The Out line of History and recalls vividly the death of her mother in 1839, her work as a nurse in the Civil War, and the hard ships in Scotland for the generation "just following the Industrial Revolution of George Ill's reign." To one who had lived through so many wars, talk of the problem of the younger generation seemed foolish. "Death had flown in flocks through Gregrannie. She knew its sounds and stinks. The Civil War, the Spanish-American War, the Boer War, the World War, had taken their toll...

They break into homes, throw all furniture, books and pictures out of the windows, pile them up and set fire to them. They are animated by a love of destruction and death. The present reign of terror and massacre in Barcelona bears no resemblance to any ordinary conception of revolution or civil war. I was held in jail for three days because they thought I looked like a German-those Barcelona radicals have an intense hatred of all Germans and Italians. They...
