Shocking Pictures
(New Haven Times-Leader.D

(New Haven Times-Leader.)
 In the Illustrated News there is published every week a shocking ser ies of pictures.
 There is nothing immoral or disr gUsting about it-it is merely a dt able page full of small photographs of fine looking young men. The shock comes when one reads the words printed boldly above the pictures Dead on the Field of Honor"
 Dead on the Field of Honor!
 Ail the pictured faces you sec arc dead. A fine, ap-standing lot of young Englishmen they wcrc-intei=. ligent, clean, brave, and gay-b1t they are all de"d
 That boy, with tho eyes full of glorious youth and the mouth stlIl sweet and whimsical-le is dead.
 There is man with the face of a chief-firm lips and steady eyes, ard square chin--but they led him to death.
 This ono must be poet, the beauty of his face revealing his mighty vii sions for the future-but he is dead too.
 And there is face from the Cail- adian prairies, q face that is strong and gentle, and ciear-eyed with look ing out across mighty acres of wheat eyes dull now. and dead.
 1t is all dead-the youth that push- cd us up and on, the laughter and courage that sweetened the worlh,' the dreams, the strength, the Man. Power--all dead on the Field cf Honor.
 "On the Field. of Honor"
 The fieId of honor is a field in a strange land. The marching men thought it was green field, full of music and glory, but it was just sugarbect field, very muddy, ond-' full of trenches, that in time made gcod graves for tho honored dead.
 On the field of honor there was no lnusic--only a roar and many moans; no marching of brothers banded only lying flat H. the mud to shoot br other men; no glory-only hatc. and dirt, and horror and red pain. =
 It was the field where men throw away life-work, homes, the love of women the future of children. the existence of a race, and then--beauL tiful creative life itself-the field of honor!
 We look at these pictures of the men who died on the Field of Honor and offer prayer for their souls and the souls of those dead whose bodies yet live. ..-..a
 Then we make a prayer for our selves.
 Lord! What shall we do to be saved?" s...r

 There must be some reward to the office holder beside the petty salary the town pays. Perhaps it is the feeling of triumph over a rival; per- haps it is the honor connected with office; or perhaps it is the desire to perform civic duty. Any one, or two, or all three of these incentives may be the force behind the strenu~ ous efforts in progress today.
