~ “Tewas the leader. ofthat lost cause, and
from the bottom of my. stricken heart I pray
that a merciful God may not delay too long
their redemption, that the day of salvation
be not so far removed- that they perish;
that it -not again be too late" * * The
Bataan ‘force went out ds it would have
wished, fighting to the end of its flickering, _
_forlorn hope—nothing became it more than
its last hour of trial and agony." -
‘OF CORREGIDOR:
“Intrinsically it is. but a barren, war-worn
tock, hallowed as so many other places by.
death and disaster, yet it symbolizes within
itself that priceless, deathless thing, THE
HONOR OF A NATION. Until we lift our
‘flag from its dust, we stand UNREDEEMED
before mankind. Until we claim again the
ghastly remnants.of its last gaunt garrison,
_ We can but stand HUMBLE SUPPLICANTS.
OUR HOLY GRAIL. * * *

“One cannot wage war under present conditions
without the support of ‘public opinion—men will not
fight and:die without knowing what they are fighting
for—in ‘the democracies it is essential that the public
should know the truth,”
