THE ONES At HOME,

For men must fight and women
most weep is the law OF Europe.
Meager reports received merely
saw that the loss Of life has been
tremendous. The world will ne,
Or. probably, know just how many
lives have been sacrificed in the
bloody conflict.
Every one knows what single
daath means in a family. A little
child may be called and the family
il left in sorrow. Grief follows
the death of the bread winner.
Creif follows the death Of any
member Of the family, whether OF
high or low estate.
The pity Of this war Is for those
who have been left at home. In res
pouse 10 the call Of duty men meet
death on the battlefield without
fear. A bullet or a sword thrust
may end 1t all. The soldier dies
for his country and is at peace.
The ones who are left at home are
the real sufferers. Death is knell
Of sorrow. The wife must bear
the brunt Of the tragedy. Her
children must live, must grow into
manhood aud womanhood. The
wife tacomes the toiler. War
does net recompense her for
the loss Of her bread winner. She
must takeup the dutiesthat belong
to man.
Mothers must sustain the loss Of
sons with brave hearts, but no
mothers heart is 50 brave that it is
not racked with grief when the
news comes that her boy has died
on the field Of battle. She has the
proud knowledge that he did his
duty, that he died for his country's
honor, that his sacrifc was noble,
historic. but thissdoes not give her
boy back, and She must grieve in
silence,
The sweetheart waiting her
lovers return must also suffer. All
of loves fond ambitions are shat
tered when the news of death comes
from the front.
Soldiers suffer, to be sure, but
they are intoxicated with the iu-
cense Of battle; they lose all fear
sf death: There is that pang of
regret when the ones left at home
are thought of and then in the fury
Of the fght all is forgotten.
Those who survive will return
home houored and respected aud
will become heroic figures in years
TO come. The ones left at home
will be rewarded for their worry .
1t is the snes who does not return
that Will be Sadly missed.
Thousands die in a single fight,
and each death leaves vacancy
in some home. The saddest news
that can come FROM tha front is the
news which holds the name Of
some dear one among the missing.
This is the hnwritten tragedy
OF war, the tragedy Of salient
pathos, written about the lives oi
the ones Who are left at home. -
