When George Palmer Putnam went to the War Department to secure photographs for "The Horror of It," a little volume containing stark pictures of the war, which has just been published, Major General Carr of the Signal Corps refused to show him any pictures showing war's gruesome results.  "Only those photographs showing the pleasant aspects of war can be released," the General said.  "The Department has a moral obligation to the Gold Star Mothers."
