36155''What the dickens does he say?''
36155''What''s that?''
36155''Why did you allow the Volunteers to come out?''
36155= GOD SAVE THE KING.="''Do we look so very dangerous, Herr Lieutenant?''

36155What had happened?
36155What then?
36155What was now to happen?
36155What was the Government doing?
36155What will be its sequel?"
36155What wonder, then, that I reported satisfactory progress, and reckoned-- too confidently, as it proved-- on a victory for the morrow?
36155What would happen?
36155When would it end?
36155Where would it end?
36155Why do you allow your miserable Volunteers to come out and shoot my men?''
36155Why not look in there before we go home?
36155Would they reach it?
36155Yet what could they do if the Germans swept into London?
36155You''ve never had a complete breakdown like this before?"
36155are you going to fire?''
36155he shouted;"who will follow me?"

38288Have we done the same?
38288How are we to supply this need for men trained and toughened to every hardship that must be borne by a soldier fighting under our flag in time of war?
38288How long would it take Japan to put a million colonists-- men of military age-- on the Pacific Coast of Mexico?
38288How many would then have believed possible the work of the Aëroplane Service in the present war?
38288If England can not protect two hundred miles of seacoast from the raids of German battleships, can we protect two thousand miles?
38288If Japan should land an army on the Pacific Coast would we leave it to future generations to defend us against that invasion?
38288Is it any too soon for this nation to begin right now to build the safeguards against that danger?
38288Is it not an undertaking large enough to arouse and inspire the whole people of this great nation to demand its accomplishment?
38288Is not that a national work that is worth doing?
38288Is not that the right sort of national defense?
38288Is there no glory to be won, that will stir heart and brain to supreme effort, except by causing human agony and devastation?

38288Is there no inspiration to patriotism that will move the people to action but the death combat?
38288Is there nothing else that will bring out the best there is in men but the stimulus of war, and its demands for sacrifice, even of life itself?
38288Must every home remain liable to be ruined and destroyed by the fires of war?
38288Must every woman who bears a son live under the terror that she may have to dedicate him to be mangled in the service of the War God?
38288Must the flower of the world''s manhood continue to be flung into the jaws of death to satiate the blood lust of militarism?
38288Must the wheels of industry turn, and the sweat of human labor, for all time, be given to make machinery for human slaughter?

38288What is that"one and only thing"that they must do to save the Colorado River Valley for our own people?
38288What would the California Militia be doing all this time?
38288Where then will they go?
38288Which will prevail, think you, in the struggle to possess the unoccupied and untilled lands of the Pacific shores of Mexico?
38288Why do we leave this empire untouched?
38288Why indeed?
38288Why is not all this done by the Caucasian race who now control this great valley of the American Nile-- the people whose flag flies over it?
38288Why not?
38288Why, with all this incredible wealth lying undeveloped under our feet, do we not seize the necessary tools and develop it ourselves?
38288Would not the German people, as well as the English, be glad now if the war had never been started?

38288_ But what has all this to do with a Homecroft Reserve?_ It has much to do with it.

38288_ Let the Speculators have their way and what will happen?_ Already the inconceivable fertility of this region is known to the Japanese.
38288_ Shall they go to Manchuria?_ Yes, to some extent, but the great body of the overflowing population of Japan will not go to Manchuria.
38288_ To South America?_ Yes, to its northern shores bordering the Pacific, to Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, more particularly to Peru.
38288_ To the Philippines?_ There you project a controversy even by discussion.

40479Wo n''t you give me your suit of clothes? 40479 You did n''t come to the Legion because you had too much money, did you?"
40479You do n''t? 40479 You seem to be German?"
40479You''re from the tenth company?
40479You''ve a letter for me, corporal?
40479Your name is Schneider?
40479Your name, please?
40479Your shoulders have been drilled into shape somewhere?
40479A letter-- a letter for me?
40479After a while he asked:"And is there really nothing left?"
40479Amongst beautiful things of art?
40479And the beggar of a horse did run, I can tell you-- and I behind it-- because I was tied to its tail, see?"
40479And what is the end of it all?
40479And why not?
40479At last the captain in the thick of the firing called out to his men:"Are there any doctors among you?"
40479Boys, if only they have such a thing as beer and kümmel down there!--Say, old fellow( he turned to me) what do you think about this French absinthe?"
40479Chose-- n''est- ce pas?
40479Civilian clothes?"
40479Could he do it?
40479D''you think they''ll take me...?"
40479Did I know that the price of a"litre,"of a full quart, was but four sous even up here on the hills?
40479Did I like the Algerian wine?
40479Do you know what I caught?
40479Do you suppose that my bunk''s a manoeuvring- ground for dirty recruits?"
40479Five francs would do, and what are measly five francs anyway, if they are the means of saving you from prison?"
40479Had I not the same right as these other poor devils to go to perdition in my own way?
40479Had n''t enough to eat, eh?"
40479Have you anything particular to tell me?"
40479Have you forgotten our five centimes, légionnaire?
40479He looked at me for a moment, and then said contemptuously:"What do you know about opiates?
40479He was in high debate with another Bavarian légionnaire...."You''re from Munich, you fool?
40479He''s a pretty hard case, ai n''t you, Blacky?"
40479How about drinking arrangements?
40479How did we know that it had really been women who had tortured the corporal?
40479I asked,"what does''merde''mean, anyway?"
40479I did not know anything about it?
40479I saluted and said:"Non- malade, monsieur le docteur?
40479I spoke to him in my rusty college French:"Would you please to direct me to the recruiting office of the Foreign Legion?"
40479I was just beginning to breathe again, when a gendarme came up to me and asked, saluting courteously:"Monsieur is a Frenchman?"
40479I''se in Paris( this here nigger''s been''bout pretty much) and a great big doggone Paris cop nabbed me, see?
40479In an atmosphere of culture?
40479Is it all right?
40479Is it easy here?
40479Is it right, eh?"
40479Is n''t it bad enough if one Munich fool drinks their sticky old wine?
40479Is the Legion then a collection of ruined talents?"
40479It can be divided into two questions: Is it fair to pay a man who works really hard a daily wage of five centimes?
40479It''s been given to a recruit already, you say?
40479Like this:"Well, sonny, know anything about the Chapter of the Prophet''s Stallions?"
40479Must I live among these uniformed human machines, amongst unthinking, unfeeling automatons?
40479Nom d''un pétard, what do we want room for?
40479Now do n''t object, because I''m going to call you Dutchy anyhow, see?"
40479On this road a patrol was coming along at a gallop.... Had the police already seen me?
40479One is only tempted to ask: How long will it last?
40479Only his eyes lighted up...."Got money?"
40479Palm- wine, ai n''t it?
40479Said one of them:"Ca n''t you see that?
40479Scoot, skin out, bunk it-- see?"
40479See how they are looking at you?
40479Shall I help you to write a real, nice, touching letter, Dutchy?"
40479Smith grinned in answer:"Room?
40479The question was: Had a telegram from the regiment with my description reached Oran already or not?
40479The reason?
40479The silent march into the night was trying for my burning curiosity, and I did a most unmilitary thing:"Where are we going to, Lieutenant?"
40479The"merdes"were always flying about...."Well, what is this''merde''?"
40479Then after a pause:"What do you really expect?
40479This child''s been fooled, see?
40479Too bad, is n''t it?"
40479Votre nom?"
40479Want a bottle of champagne?''"
40479Well?"
40479What do you think of that?"
40479What do you want?
40479What in h---- you want to come here for?"
40479What is the difference?
40479What was my name now?...
40479What was your profession?"
40479What would the custom- house say to my valise filled with paper?
40479What''s in a fine name, I say, if you''ve got nothing to fill your stomach with?
40479What''s this bow- legged monkey doing on my bunk?
40479When I answered it was I, he said he could not stand it any more in there-- hadn''t I a cigarette?
40479When I was relieved at midnight the sergeant asked:"Anything unusual?"
40479When the corporal had made his report, my captain sent for me:"You have not been punished so far?"
40479Where was I, anyway?
40479Who''s going to help you?
40479Whose fault is it?
40479Why should I not live a rough life now?
40479Why should a convict get paid?
40479Why should they make it so hard for me in particular?
40479Why should they stare at me?
40479Without any examination?"
40479Wo n''t you come?"
40479Would they appreciate a true artist?
40479You sit there in your arm- chair?
40479You surely must be a relation of the Bismarck family?"
40479You''ll give me your suit, wo n''t you?

40479he yelled, laughing as if he had suddenly gone crazy,"what''merde''means?
40479nom de Dieu, de bon Dieu de la Légion-- damn me, why should I work myself to death?
40479said the nigger disgusted,"me?
40479toujours viaïsse-- what does the fellow want?"
40479will you give me a cigarette?"
40479will you have a cigarette?"
40479you pig, do n''t you know that this month the overcoats are buttoned on the right side?"
