the glory ot of patriotism as spouted by a zealous zealous zeal zeal- ous and stupid schoolmaster They go o to Will war over the pos peso pes- pes o session of a umber Jumber yard as a playground There is nothing amusing in the details of oC that war and its j climaxing battle It is too grim too real too bitter The war and the thc battle results re- re suIts in the death o of one lad The day after his funeral a steam f shovel bites into the ground for which the boys bos so valiantly fought An apartment howe house is to be erected there George as the lad whose cent life is sacrificed turns
