Sirs: Your ad in the program of the Notre Dame v. Army game at Soldier Field [TIME'S historic episodes series: William Jennings Bryan making the Cross of Gold Speech]. . . .

Foch was usually wise enough to stick to his horizon-blue muttons, but once hazarded the opinion that the heroic soldier's reward was glory. In these 13 stories Aldington gives various examples of the soldier's reward. In the light of the title, all are bitterly satirical. Some of them...
