15 "Hoffman, you have received no  word from the front?"

16 "No news is yet good news, ma'am."

17 "Oh, if it were '61 again - if   I were Phil's age!"

18 "No, Jemmy, no - - he's only twenty - he's all of life to me!"

19 "It is our fight! If the Germans should win, do you suppose they'd  stop over there? Not much! We'd be the next bit of world-snatching.

20 "Oh, I'm at the end of the draft, and by that time I'll have 'tango  toes' or something."

26* "Breeding means much to the world, Mother; even     more than brains."

27 "Phil! it's honorable to work."

28 "Oh, I'm for being kind to the common herd, but I'm not for  blinking at the fact that  they're different"

29 "Sei jeder kreig verflucht! -     Damn all war!"

30 "Mother, I'm going! I want to go. Will you let me?"

31 "I've got to go! I couldn't keep on living and remember that this fight had been  put up for the decency of the world,  and I not lifting a finger!"

32* "Our best men are going, Mother, I must do my        share!"

33 "Why, if there was a God, he'd--"

34 "You believe in the masses - I don't."

35 "You're rather deeply religious, and  I'm a plain unbeliever."

36* "You look for good in all humanity - - I hate my       enemy."

37 "We're different, mother -"

38 "- and I have my own life to live!"

39 "Yes, Phil, you'll have to go.     I'll help you."

40 A section of the Western Front held by the UNITED STATES MARINES.

54* "Fritz is mining. Let's get       him first."

55 "Where's the lieutenant?"

56 "I want some dynamite --  and a slow burning fuse!"

57 Do you realize your assumption of authority in taking that dynamite might mean court-martial!"

58 On the outskirts of Dixmude, in the path of the German advance.

80 Before the great adventure.-- Dawn of the following day.

81 "Three minutes more to go!"

82 All through the long night a hideous drumfire of artillery has been smashing in the German first line.

83 The commanding officer of the Marine Sector. Major Thos. Holcomb, U.S.M.C.

84 Over the top

85 "The marines have landed and have the situation well in hand."

86 "If they hadn't potted me that second, we'd 'a got off. We'd 'a had some more nice times, sir."

87 "Lefty, listen! Take this in--I'm not 'sir' to you: we're equal. - - - - Get that, old Lefty."

88 "You've taught me to judge people as people, Lefty, old pal, and  class pride is junk!"

89* "Good-bye - pal - God     bless - -"

90 Greater love hath no man than this: that a man lay down his life for his friend.

95 "Advance contingent to Dixmude, - by direction Lieutenant Colonel."

96 "Last night I dreamed the Americans would come."

97 "The marines are out-numbered two to one. They must be warned!"

98 "We are safe, mes amis, les Americains come."

99 Overpowered by numbers, a retreat is ordered.

100 "Quick! They would kill me as well:-two flights-the trap door!"

101 Meanwhile, the Germans force their advance.

102 "You must not let them take me alive!"

103 "I am not afraid to die - for         Belgium!"

104 Re-enforcements.

105 "You came here and, now, you're    going to stay here!"

108 'At the twilight's last gleaming.'

109 "You might - want to go to America, Here is a word to my mother -  she will look after you."

110 Into the enemy's territory.

111 By afternoon the fight has attained such unexpected proportions that it is impossible to reach the wounded.

112 A rabbi from a nearby village risks his life to aid the wounded.

113 The fast dimming eyes of Terence O'Shaughnessey make no distinction in creed.

114 "Father - - my crucifix!"

115 "Out of the depths have I called unto thee. O Lord, hear my voice!"

116 "A thousand damnations on your sniveling, lying preaching! There ain't no God - - I know it! There's only Hell - - - - -"

117 "O God! Give me back my life so that I can use it for your  work. I will! Save me - - -  God help us all - - - -"

118 "There is a God! I have to give in - - ask him to - - - to help - me - I believe O God --."

119 "Patience, m'sieur, yours was a man's fight and the injury is grave.  But soon the wound will mend."

120 "What a shame - - he's    only a kid."

121 "Ach! Träume ich? Ist sie die Mutter? Was schafft sie auf dem Schlachtfeld?"

122 "Es ist nichts - - I saw you were busy."

123 "So long! Remember me to the boys  at the front. I'm sorry I have to   go home."

124 Afterward, as the "veteran" lives his battles over.

125 "Lefty - good old Lefty - killed class pride. That was buried in his unknown grave   out on 'No Man's Land.'"

126 "Then on the battlefield, unbelief was wiped out. Out of the depths, the choir of the dying chanted faith and  hope - and there I found - God."

127 "So you see, mother, I've come around to you on the things I said we'd never agree on. But--I've paid--fairly high for the lesson."

128 "There's one friend of yours you haven't told me about."

129 "Did you think that torn scrap  of paper from you would mean   nothing to me?"

130 "One does not say thank you for such things as you have done -"

131 "You saved my life, that is much -"

132 "You fought for Belgium, that is more---"

133 "Every Belgian owes-I owe you - the life for you to use."
