Excerpt from State Normal Magazine, Vol. 22: June, 1918Let us go with them, these soldiers of ours, who war for us on the foreign battle field. Some of them were once the greatest that we had, some the smallest; some the most powerful, some the weakest; some the richest, the poorest; some the wisest, some the most ignorant; some who labored for the progress of civilization, and some who lolled in luxury's lap, who checked the growth of a nation; but all changed now, in the same uniform, in a new equality, in a common purpose, a com mon love. The prince and the every day clerk are brothers; the little sons of the rich and the of humble shop hand stand side by side; for the battle for Democracy has already been won in the trenches. And under each khaki coat beats an honest and manly heart, a heart that has awakened, that has been purged of selfishness, that has been purified.And we see them, these soldiers in khaki, optimistic, cheerful in every occupation of the war. They are in the camps whistling bits of ragtime.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
