Easter and the Dead Ones.
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank crane)

The dead are not those who lie in the
graveyard.
We call them dead. but we do not un-
condition. For all we know, they may
be more alive now than ever. They may
have just entered into life.
The real dead ones are walking al
around US. They meet US in the family,
in social gatherings. business; the streets
are full Of them.
They laugh and talk, they eat and
drink, they gesticulate; but il is all an
illusion: they are dead.
Death is relative term. A man is
dead more or less, 10 the degree to which
his nature has ceased To function.
One man is dead to love- The fires Of
lust have consumed his power to have
genuine loyal affection. He has killed
his horsepower. He is a grinning corpse.
He is n beast: the man in him is ashes.
Another is dead TO beauty. The sun
shine sings to him in vain. The ex-
quisite charm of light and shade, Of form
and color. that plays around us all con-
stantly like a full orchestra. does not
exist for him. The world TO him is a
penitential cell.
Another is dead to humanity. The
subtle appeal of all things human does
not find him. Man delights him not,
nor woman neither" He is absorbed in
the service Of the wooden gods OF bus
mess, of physical qualification, Of am
bition; or he is drugged with the nepen-
the of continuous amusement:
This woman, bedizened for her social
activities, seems alive, but she goes her
empty round as squirrel in its revolving
cage She is deeply weary. Her lips are
dry. Her heart is bitter. Death has
marked her.
Life is measured by our ability to re-
spond TO our environment.
We are alive according TO our power
TO eat the world and men and events as
they come to us, TO assimilate them, and
to gather strength and JOY from them.
We are dead when they eat US, when
they devitalize and corrode us, when
they continually take something out Of
us.
And what do you get from the In
finite? Only fear, shudder, horror?
DO you dodge daily that into which
eventually your life must slip?
Or do you daily take deep draughts
of the Infinite? Is il hidden spring at
which you drink, secret food that feeds
life?
Let us live! "Let the dead bury their
dead!"
The real test of life is the amount Of
radiant energy you possess. These
failure-people," says DR.. Julia Seton,
"are depressed below the level Of uni
versal life, like the Dead Sea; yet all
the while within their own being are ly-
ing dormant the possibilities of the life
more-abundant and the success that
comes from this life"
1t is Easter time. The grasses are
upspringing. The birds return. The
annual miracle is here. New life is en-
tering into all things Is it entering in
to you?

BREAD SACRIFICED FOR BEER

Engllsh statistlcians have calculated that g..
2S7.637 bushels OF malt was used IN brewing
their beer I'm the last year. II In estimated that
every bushcl OF the grain used would have made
ut least fifteen four-pound loaves Of bread. This
would have provided fourpound loaf every day
for year for the 100000 fighting In Belgium,
with 100000 leaves lea ever for the hunsu

"A Banjo In the Trenches
Changes Soldiers to Men!

There's sure to be certain dugout
somewhere in the trenches where musical
men gather. In our trench, George UIard.
Negro from Galveston, Texas, played
Wonderfully on banjo with one string
and in our mud hut there was the music
OF mouth organs. an accordion, and Ullards
banjo every night The German trench
was only As feet away from US at this
point and they used TO listen TO US every
evening and cheer US.
We have clipped paragraph from an
article by Phil. RAIDER, the third in re-
markable series appearing in the Times
In which this talented writer is telling of
life Cor DEATH in the trenches.
The article in which there appeared
the incident of the one-string banjo,
started out like this:
How does 1t feel TO live in the trenchesf
Here's little recipe by which you can
find out. Take a cold, damp cellar, flood
II with some three 20 six inches OF almost
iceoold mud. At q height of five feet from
the floor stretch tangie OF wires. turn an
electric current into the wires and LEI the
voltage be so heavy that every wire viii be
q deadly az a third rail Now blow out
the light, crawl 10 the middle OF the floor
IN the darkness and stand erect trusting
% blind luck that your head won't touch
These charged wires. In the darkness.
"A represent the invisible deadly trails Of the
bullets that ny over your head in the
trenches
This particular RAIDER article empha-
sixes for US the sad and lamentable fact
that in the trenches there are MEN and,
also, SOLDIERS, and describes for US
the difference between the man and the
soldier.
The SOLDIER--man conquered by the
savage in him; worker by the day at
killing soldiers.
The Mantle soldier transformed
after sunset to a brother, to whose
snusic-hungry soul the plunkety plank
ety-plank Of banjo of one string, In his
From the same trench, but short
time before, SOLDIERS, men turned by
that weird something which conquers
them and makes them beasts, with the
bloodthirst of beasts, had shot, to KILL
And the return from the other trench
had been bullets.
II had been unsafe to show ones head
-as safe to run ones head into a net
work Of fatally charged wires.
But there arose, in the calm of eve
ming, when SOLDIERS were now MEN
brothers, sons, fathers and husbands; ;
when mayhap their thoughts were of
distant home--a darkey's song sung to
a one-string accompaniment.
And the return now from the trench
was cheers from the fulness of mellow
hearts of MEN.
Only As feet apart as men, but what
difference apart as SOLDIERS.
Forty-five feet apart and what a mar
row space with tune going, maybe the
same tune someone played on the organ
at home.

and these shells are fired at tremendous

The strains from darkey's banjo,

straight TO the heart and always hit, at
a trifie cost--and pick SOLDIERS up
and make them MEN.
