Wield Pen and Sword.

The report of the Authors’ club of London gives some eloquent figures. Out of 644 members resident in Great Britain, many of whom are far past military age, no less than 171 are in active service in corinection with the war. Six have died in action or of wounds and 13 votes of sympathy with members in the death of sons or brothers upon the field oh heroism have been adopted. The same hand, it is clear, may wield both pen and sword.
