Show PUT HIS PRECIOUS ICE FIRST Lecturer, Commenting on the Deadli-ness Deadli-ness of War, Recalls a Humorous Hu-morous Story. Apropos of the death of the two Garibaldi brothers, fighting with the Italian volunteers in the Argonne, Judge Parker Tillman, in a lecture on the war, said: "This was is deadly past all precedent. prece-dent. These two lads are the first of all the brood of fighting Garibaldis ever tovbe killed on the battlefield. "Deadly past all precedent. A leader in this war must, willy nilly, sacrifice his men for his country's sake. He must treat his men as the man who ran the skating pond treated the chap who broke through the ice. "As this poor chap floundered in the water, the exploiter of the pond roared at h hn : " 'Come out of that, or the water won't freeze. But don't you break anymore any-more of my ice, do you hear? Swim underneath to the edge, here where I am, and I'll knock a hole for you to get out by.' " |
