We came back as soon as the Zeppelin was out of sight and the firing had ceased; we played our game of cards; and here I am writing you the story-all within about half an hour .-- There was a raid over London last night, too, wherein a dozen or two women and children and a few men were killed.

I haven't the slightest idea what harm this raid to-night has done.

For all I know it may not be all done.

But of all imaginable war-experiences this seems the most futile.

It interrupted a game of cards for twenty minutes!) Now--to go on with my story: I have wondered ever since the war began why the Allies were not better prepared--especially England on land.
