To those great men who fought and kept it ours.
Tennyson.
Then each shall take with stubborn grip
His rifle as he took his whip,
And when the Flag’s unfurled,
The clerk shall drop his futile pen
To lift his well-loved lance—and then
A nation fronts the world!
Arthur H. Adams.
How long will the War last? No two people agree about this, and that however wise, however clever, even however experienced in war they may be. It will be very interesting to see who among our friends have proved right; those who say it will be over soon, or those others who believe it may last years.
