"Thousands of young lives are be ing snuffed out daily.

Shall the ruins of so many cities and villages and monuments erected by genius in com memoration of the faith of our fore fathers answer the bitter tears shed within the privacy of home or at th foot of altars? No, that cannot be The price of the struggle is too high."
