I could mention a large number of tests that have been made, so to speak, before my eyes by absolutely trustworthy relatives or friends. As my space is limited, I will relate only one, which typifies and summarizes all the others very fairly. A mother had three sons at the front.
The degradation of the diamond to the rank of the glass bead, save for its mechanical uses, expresses and typifies as no other one fact to me the completeness of the revolution which at the present time has subordinated things to humanity.
