SHADOW OF WAR AGAIN IS ATHWART HUMANITY’S PATH; HORRORS OF CONFLICT PICTURED FOR YOUTH OF TODAY

The sinister shadow of war lies once wore athwart the path of mankind. In the far east troops are on the march, the caissons are rolling again, machine guns are rapping their staccato death message. The world is watching with acute anxiety as Soviet Russia and imperial Japan gird themselves for trial by battle. What will happen when the ice goes out in the spring? Western Europe, still brutally scarred by the last conflict, has resounded for more than a year with saber rattlings and the jingoistic pronouncements of dictators. A mad nationalism is abroad in civilization. The old balance of power system of diplomacy once more has come into being. It is a sorry

The estimated cost was $337,91*6,179,657, which, if laid on the ground in dollar bills, would carpet an area of 1,260 square miles* Three hundred twenty-eight homes in Marion county alone lost members of their families in the conflict.

Tuesday, this newspaper will publish daily a full page of pictures giving a graphic history of the World war from start to finish. The pictures were collected from official, and sometimes secret , sources by Laurence Stallings, who lost a leg in action with the marines. He has suppressed nothing, colored nothing. The history shows war as it actually is. The Times believes that those who went through the conflict well may be reminded of it at this time. The generation which has grown up since 1918, and to whom war meant nothing but meatless days, should have an opportunity to study war. Only by knowledge can come understanding of humanity’s greatest problem.
