A TEST OF MEMORY.
Nodzu is dead
Do you remember him?
Doubtless not. You ask, Who was
Nodzu? The name lacks even a In.
miliar sound. Certainly If he was
anybody worth remembering it would
be unnecessary to look him up In

the newspaper files of that time. You
will read that Nodzu forced the pas,

Do you remember now?
In the days of the Russo-Japanese
war Nodzu was a hero. The newspa-
pers told about his "far flung battle
line" and about his boyhood and his
home life. and his sisters and his cous.
ins and his aunts.
Then, like a dizzy comet, Nodzu
dropped out of sight and memory.
Well, for that matter
Can you name offhand the man
who outgeneraled and outfought the
Russians in those great battles on the
Manchurian plains or the Japanese sea
captain who swept the ocean clean of
the Russian feet?
Honest, now, can you?
Whether you can or not Is of little
moment. If you remember the names
right of. you are an exception. Most
Of US have forgotten.
And it is significant that we have
forgotten, because the world. like you

but butchers all
We are coming to esteem the pa
triotism Of peace as higher than the
patriotism Of war We are putting
down the killers of men and putting
up the saviors of men.
Nodzu made his noise and subsidized.
He strutted brief figure in the lime
light, and the curtain of forgetfulness
came down. He did nothing In time
of peace to help men or educate or
uplift them. He was logically forgot
