THE BLACK REVERSE OF WAR

TWO mothers OF France met In the
streets OF Paris the other day. One
had just received intelligence OF her
son az the front that he was safe.
The other had sent four sons 10 war.
and TO the inquiry. have you good
news OF your sonsg'' with white. drawn
face. replied: Yes. they are all safe
They are safe in the arms OF the
Father. am proud TO give all TO the
cause"
This is Spartan. the sterilization Of
sacrifice. but how pitiful. how cruel
When we pause TO think how count.
less hundreds OF other homes have
been made as desolate. how thousands
or other mother hearts have been
wrung with the same anguish we
come 20 an accounting OF the awful
the appalling effects OF this bloody
eataelysm that IS sweeping over Eu-
rope. Above the deafening roar OF
the clash OF battle can be heard the
wailing OF the widows. the sobbing OF
eereft mothers. the moaning OF the
fatheriess. And these sufferers only
look around to see the streaming
eyes OF the maiden whose sweetheart
has gone to the tryst OF eternity.
The glories OF war; All victories
all eonquests are damned in the con.
temptation OF the price exacted IN the
suffering. woe and anguish inflicted
on the ineonsolable and innocent. II
Is the black reverse OF glory's shining
shield And men cry peace. peace.
yet there Is no peace. The oondemna.
ton OF the Father OF Mercles certainly
lays with heavy hand on the world TO-
day.

CHARLESTON. W. Va, Aug 10
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt will make

from oyster Bay that the Colonel
has turned a deaf ear TO the appeals
