They Must Answer

Look upon these dead men of the European war!
One Of the enemy's shells burst near them and their
HIVES went out Breathing striving maybe, laugh
Ing human beings one instant; corpses so suddenly
that their bodies do not hit the ground.
+ That lad with his head on the wheel was a hand
some fellow. He has good face. Death tears away
every mask, and this boys dead face shows youth,
brightness and loveable disposition
What sweet innocent he was when he-crawled
upon the floor and smiled up into his mothers eyes
over his own efforts to learn to walk!
How easy to picture agirl back there, in some
quiet village who stood with him at the gate in the
moonlight with silver clouds sailing across the sky,
with voices in the grass whispering that katy did!
Katy did" she blushingly promised to be always
true to her young soldier!
Maybe an old father with pale face, watched him
leave Maybe swarm of little brothers and sisters
hung to his uniform and cheered him with pride.
Maybe at the last moment, clinging mother almost
unnerved him by her-oh! you cannot picture what a
mother feels.
Infancy as the angel and tyrant of home. Youth,
with school books under arm, romping in the woods
and meadows, where are flowers, sunshine, bird
songs, zephyr hymns in the tree tops, brooks chat
tering over stones where the minnows hide. Man
hood, when father begins to consult with son, when
mother begins to lean ON her boy in sweet pride.
The joy of being able to do things with men. The
future mysterious armament full OF stars OF hope.
