Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mr. Watson´s Editorials on the War Issues In order that you may have in your mind a picture of the battle-field in Northern France, where four millions of Christians, (supplied with Bibles, chaplains, and regular prayers, on each side) are murdering one another, according to President Wilson´s "proud punctilio," I will ask you to reflect upon a few of the actual facts. First of all, you must realize that the length of the battle-line is only about 50 miles, and its width less than ten. Try to imagine the crowding of that small territory by four million men, tens of thousands of horses: millions of cannon, motor cars, trucks, wagons, piles of ammunition, food depots, sleeping quarters, field-hospitals, &c. Imagine the vast net-work of trenches, in which the men on duty at the front have to live, sleep, and fight. Imagine a deafening roar of cannon-thunder, lasting all night and all day, every day in the week, every week in the month. Imagine tens of thousands of soldiers making charges, every few hours, on several parts of this short battle-line; and imagine those soldiers falling, under the terrible fire of cannon, machine-guns, rifles, and hand-grenades. Imagine at least one hundred thousand of these soldiers killed along that short line, every month; and twice as many wounded. The wounded, of course, are carried to the rear, sent to hospitals, and treated perhaps with every possible consideration. But what about the dead? There is no place to bury them, and no time for it.
