TO MY OLD MOTHER

It was the 26th of July, 1914. My wife and I were walking leisurely in the park of a village in the Pyrenees, the sun shedding its warm, quickening rays in the Valley of the Gave when, suddenly, a newsboy approached us carrying under his arms a bundle of newspapers, and crying at the top of his voice, “War! War! It is War!”
I stopped him, asking at the same time, “What war?”
“Why, the war between Austria and Serbia. The paper will give you all the details,” he answered.
