Part IX
DELIVERANCE
Their eyes, reddened by the heat, flamed with the enthusiasm of war, their dry throats found strength to shout "Hurrah! The whole regiment forgot their fatigue , and seemed, as they marched under fire, like men refreshed and stimulated by a generous draft.
"Poor devils"t hought the prince they are running to death ai if it were a kermess dance. What are they thinking about? nothing prabably.
They are driven on by a blind desire of conquest. What good will victory do them? how will it better their lot if they have the luck to escape death? Glory for germany?Perhaps forme that might be worth something, hardly for them. Victory might add to the splendor of my uniform. Still i dont know, I wear it so seldom. Perhaps if I go to Japan next year, The mikado will receive me better if I belong to a victorious country do for them?They wont get much much of it in their village.
