It ought to be known to all English boys that there is a terrible and costly war inwhich the British nation is at all times engaged. No intervals of peace mark thecourse of this war. Cessations of hostilities there are for brief periods, but notreaties of peace. "War to the knife" is its character. Quarter is neither given norsought. Our foe is unfeeling, unrelenting. He wastes no time in diplomaticpreliminaries; he scorns the courtesies of national life. No ambassadors arerecalled, no declarations of war made.
