Two English workmen were discussing it, obviously under the influence of a great deal of unofficial news. “It’ll be an awful long job, Sam,” said one. “It will an’ all,” replied the other. “You see, these Germans is taking thousands and thousands of Russians prisoners, and the Russians is taking thousands and thousands of German prisoners. If it keeps on, all the Russians will be in Germany and all the Germans in Russia. And then they’ll start fresh all over again, fighting to get back to their ’omes.”
