"1 Came To Wish You

An Old Friend is Puzzled

the Somme, I saw a sight I
shall never forget. That was,
you may remember, the first Christ -

war from the face of the earth for-
ever.
In the strip of frozen. nlud that
constituted the No Man's Land be-

Englishmen and sentimental Wurr-
tembetgers throw down their rides
and fraternize.

And what of the children? Do
you remember what Hee---that Friend
of aline ---said? He said: "Suffer
little children to come unto Me."
Do you think He would lilte it if they
lowded around Him with gas -masks
hiding the terror in. their innocent.
