SEW MCI >. CLASH A, WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 20, 191.'.
Thousands of people just like us have died violent deaths in northern
France during the past couple of days. They climbed out of their trenches
as they would if they had just been climbing over a fence coming home from
the day’s work. A bit of gravel hurt a knee cap or some of the sand rolled
into shoes and became disagreeable. In other words they were ordinary, senti
ent human beings. Two minutes later they were hardly different from a i
quarter of mutton hung up in a butcher shop. A few hours before they had
written letters to relatives at home. Now they, as human beings, were non
existent. The order to charge for many of them, thousands of them, was
the equivalent to the order given to the hangman to spring the trap. War is
a pretty pastime.
There are two ways to look at the deaths of the battlefield. One way is
to look at them from the point of view that mundane existence is everything
to the human being; the other way is to regard them as merely the passing
of lives that would pass anyway. No one knows whether death is a blessing,
a curse or merely a trival phase of existence. The men who are kiljed are
mourned but the mourning would come some time. They might have died
first in the ordinary course of events and their relatives would feel the pain of
loss just the same, or they might have lived to suffer for the loss of their
families. In either event the amount of suffering would be just the same,
war or no war. There may be no more harm done in killing a man than in
killing a ptarmigan for aught we know to the contrary. .
The wounding of General Marchand of the French army recalls to mind
the fact that only a few short years ago France and Great Britain narrowly
escaped war against each other. Somewhere in Africa, at a place called
Fashoda. the present Lord Kitchener arrived with a British army but on,
arrival found there a small French force under a Major Marchand.. Both
countries claimed prior rights to the territory- the natives of the country had
no rights, of course—and both governments refused to withdraw. Fleets
and armies were mobilized. The French papers cartooned Queen Victoria in
a manner that was regarded in England as most insulting, and the British
papers cartooned Marchand as a monkey. It looked very much like war but
suddenly an agreement was arrived at. That is only a short time ago. Soon
afterwards came the Entente Cordiale and the French began to find that the
British people were not so bad, or were improving, anti the British people
began to learn that several of the worse traits of the Gaulish character were
disappearing or had never existed. All of which goes to show what the
point of view will do. Today the British anti French are falling on the necks
of each other just because they are fighting a common enemy, it is all just
as if Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Robinson had a scrap and Mrs. Smith later butted
in against Mrs. Jones. Upon the intensity of the ties ire to smash either one
of the other ladies would depend the alliance formed by Mrs. Robinson.
