age, what advice would you
give him?
Most of the articulate members. of the British public have got no further than declaring that, war is heil beastly, a crime, elc., ete. What a few said in 1914-1918, or even dared to think to them- selves, is now spread to the messes. We all know war is no good to anyone: in Europe at lenst.
