"Dictionary of Greek Biography and Mythology."]
[Footnote 55: Further, we must remember that "The Red Cross on a
white field is not a magic mantle that can ward off shells fired
by an artillerist at a target which he cannot see, nor against
flyers dropping bombs from thousands of feet in the air.
'Bomb-dropping flyers are the terror of the doctors and wounded

[Footnote 65: "England," "Germany," "France," etc., in these
connections actually stand for a very small group of diplomats
controlling foreign policy. The association of the names
unfortunately makes us think of the countries as a whole, a word
fallacy that leads to illimitable disaster.]
