This visual shows how the key words ''Success'' and ''Courage'' correlate within this volume of the magazine. Both words are obviously a strong topic throughout this edition. However, even though ''Success'' was used roughly ten times while ''Courage'' was used only half as much. While this is a more prominent number than seen in other examples, it still does not do justice to the pride in success and pride in sacrifice seen in the language and stories published in the 1918 edition.

This comparison shows the use of the words ''Sacrifice'', ''Pride'', and ''Courage'' used to signify the acts of ''Gallantry'' and ''Bravery'' of soldiers who are taking part in the war. ''Sacrifice'' is used three times while ''Pride'' is used twice and ''Courage'' is used once. The actions these words describe are not done justice by the number of times the physical words appear in the text.
