None was dead to us. 'M ; "Rill" Jones from around the corner, who cnlist- Im ' ed or was drafted, is not included. The story of m the tens of thousands killed is a faraway story. 'M Rut it is apparent that the day Is coming when t ,'flj "Hill" Jones will bo on the firing line when let- K ' a tors from him to his kin locally will be printed JL I W In Tho Sun., And tho dny is coming when "Hill" ; M Jones will go "over the top," Perchance he will '' ' . bo among the tens of thousands who may bo fl BI killed. Then the story of the tens of thousands K vM will be a local story. And we'll see the war In a K jSf different light than we do now. We'll feci exact- w ' w ly liko tliu kin of tho tons of thousands feel now ff i whoso "Rill" Joiiosoh nro included in the casualty ' ; X lists, and which now doesn't interest us much. , ' ' f; It's the local story of the war that will wako us Jr . m up.
