WAR NOT A GAME BUT A GRAVE.
STR AN HAMILTON'S WARNING TO NEW GENERATION.
General Sir lan Hamilton, unveiling the war memorial at Crewe on June 14th, said:-
"The tears and blood of the old wars leave no trace vpoa our memories. The Great War itself is passing away from the minds of the new generation." Unless something entirely unprecedented enters. quickly into the hearts of mankind the orphans we are now bringing up will, in their turn, go to war as if it was Again
and find it, as we found it, grafe
"There's no getting over the fact that tragedies make good copy and that good. aess makes bad copy. Therefore, a feel- ing of hopelessness comes over the man who wishes to point out to his fellows the wonders and the beauty of peace: all he can do is to try and show them the futility of war.
