Now, since we're talking about the war, let me deliver my opinion and leave the subject.

They're killing one another all right; you needn't have any doubt about that--so many thousand every day, whether there's any battle or not.

When there's "nothing to report" from France, that means the regular 5,000 casualties that happen every day.

There isn't any way of getting rid of men that has been forgotten or neglected.

Women and children, too, of course, starve in Serbia and Poland and are massacred in Turkey.
England, though she has by very much the largest army she ever had, has the smallest of all the big armies and yet I don't know a family that had men of fighting age which hasn't lost one or more members.
