J. HAVE SEEN the soldiers come down
from the ships and stand in long lines
on the docks, their ‘B’ bags on their
backs and their rifles slung over their
shoulders.
“I have seen the supplies come in by
the hundred shiploads, locomotives and
tanks and trucks—acres of boxed food and
great mounds of hams, shiploads of bombs
stacked in from keel to hatch and all ma-
terials that we need at home—steel for
bridges and buildings, food for our own
people, material enough to make all Amer-
ica well fed and well housed and well
clothed.
“I have seen the men climb into the
Fortress in the early morning and fly away
waving with elaborate nonchalance and I
have seen the gap in the mess when they
did not come back and the empty bunks,
the blankets thrown aside as they threw
them, and the framed photographs on the
steel lockers.
“The men have gone up the gangway
again to go into action and they jump from
landing barges to a beach, strewn with the
bodies of their own people, and they claw
their way like animals into a hostile coast.
“I have seen the hospitals with the
mauled men, the legless and blind, the
fingerless hands and the burned faces—all
the destruction that steel and fire can do to
a man’s body and mind. In God’s name,
what is it for except to get this horrible
thing over with as quickly and as thor-
oughly as possible? And if this is true, it
should not be a matter of ‘Who will lend hi»
money?’ but eWho dares not to?? ”
