be。　Many　people　have　realized　the　war　this　summer。　Officers　whom　I　thought　could　never　realize　it　realize　it　now。〃

〃What　will　happen？〃　Istroked　the　blanket　with　my　hand。

〃I　do　not　know　but　I　do　not　think　it　can　go　on　much　longer。〃

〃What　will　happen？〃

〃The　Austrians　are　Christians……except　for　the　Bosnians。〃

〃I　don't　mean　technical
