"no, girls don't; women don't, when they give their men up to their country. they think a.)they'll come marching back, somehow, just as gay as they went,) or if it's an empty sleeve, or even an empty pantaloon, it's all the more glory, and they're so much the prouder of them, poor things! "

the tears began to run down editha's face; she had not wept till then; but it was now such a relief to be understood that the tears came

"no, you didn't expect him to get killed," mrs. gearson repeated, in a voice which was startlingly like george's again. b.)"you just expected him to kill someone else,) c.)some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches-conscripts), or whatever they call 'em. d.)you thought it would be all right for my george, your george, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of.") the woman lifted her powerful voice in a psalm-like note.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
