Leslie Waller M/8gt Richard B. Talt Pvt James Hearns Poet Photo SecUoo THE FOUR HORSEMEN End Their Ride Tlie Feu HonaaMn oi Uw Apecalypu, who rode the! earth on iheir coal-black steeds spreading violence and ter' ror in their wake, were labeled Famine, Pestilence, Disease, and Death. As the old story goes, these four horsemen were sponsible for the misery and suffering of mankind, having been sent to Earth by Satan himself. Well, nowadays, folks don't believe too much in the Four Horsemen os such. Most of us know that pestilence and disease are usually caused by germs and infection, that famine is bred out of bad living conditions and faulty food supply, .hot depth always hos an accountable reason for happening. ■at in lUs deadly war. four new horsemen ride ogain. They ride against us—on the side of the enemy—and they ride in earnest. You won't see them driving across o dark and sullen sky. flogging their bony nags into a frothing frengy of de- siruclion. You won't see pictures of them striking fear into the hearts of our country and ormed forces. But they're here, all around us, and they're just as potent os ever. AWOLs, Goldbricking, Rumormongeriug, and Griping are the four. And don't laugh, soldier, bec^se they're the things that can and will help us lose this war unless we con stamp them out. 1 T 1\1 T 1 ih.
