...dead, of course, are all now buried, save perhaps a few horses hidden in woods or hollows, but advertising their presence in a most "impossible to be ignored" manner. The roads are lined with dumps of material--shells, grenades, rifle and machine gun amunition, discarded rifles, helmets--everything, in fact, one sees along those roads, though of course it is being rapidly collected by the salvage departments, sorted and sent back to salvage depot for repair, renovation, and reissue--for a use is found for almost everything, no matter how badly smashed and broken...
...lack of aggregate and individual honor. All these are gladly lost, sunk, destroyed, in the mad stress to achieve unholy means to unholy ends. It is hopeless to treat for peace with sovereigns so entirely turned from right to wrong thought.

As for actual earlier retiring, there still remains the same amount of study and after all, the time of retiring is dependent on habit developed through years...
Aside from the motto, the cover is attractive; the decorative design is simple and dignified, and the color scheme harmonious. Amid bursting shrapnel stands the Red Cross, partially hidden by branches of laurel and by a gleaming sword. The motto alone is weak. It is hard to see how one could have made a poorer choice than the singsong couplet...
