WARS TOLL OF HUMAN TEARS
Signs on English Village Homes
Mutely Tell Of Family
Tragedies.
LONELY SOULS REVEAL WOE


In order to restore and revive the sense
OF pity II is necessary 10 hold the war
at arms length and to see It as an alb
normal and abhorrent tragedy.
The atmosphere OF London and OF oil
great cities dulls the edge Of lima ginstion.
for we unconsclousiy fan into the habit
Of thinking in bulletins and dispatches
rather than in hesrtaches and tears. The
war machine Is more pitiless than any
ether engine. II grinds out it's wee CO dly
and dispassionateiy. Tho casualty lists
touch no nerve Of living sympathy and
compassion. II needs an effort,-a spirit
utal effort--to see the obscure grief Of
the home behind the humble name printed
in pitifully small type with its pitiful
number and its pitifui abbreviatlon OF
rank and regiment.
Now and then the youthfuiness OF n
second lieutenant stirs the languid vision,
and we see the face OF a boy. cIear-eyed
and smooth-skinned. joyous. with dim
down on upper lip, and the queer note Of
imminent manhood In the merry voice.
And when we are hurt by the blow struck
at a passion of fatberhood such as Mr.
Rudyard Kipling's-a passion revealed in
wistfuliy tender stories that have touched
a thousand fatherly and motherly breasts
we are quickened with a new birth OF
truth.
To us all there comes lightning stroke
when a boy we knew falls and Is seen no
more-the laugh lives in our memory. the
Jest, the brave and gallant carelessness,
the divine ignorance of the dark into
which he marched breast forward the
happy unforeknowledge of the cruel and
intolerable surcease Of all that makes
youth adorable and clear.
