By DR.. Karl H~ildebrand, Member of the Swedish Parliament.

When Death knocks at so many
doors at the same time, his entrance
excites less notice. At the front he
is a daily guest, received with but
little ceremony. This was borne
in upon me by an incident that oc-
Cured during my sojourn in North
eastern France. In the society of a
colonel | entered a courtyard to in
spect the arrangements made for
the care of the wounded. We met
a young soldier with a fine, intelli-
gent face. The colonel asked him
where he was serving. With a
machine-gun detachment, was the
answer. And what was he in civil
life? An official in a court of law,

others, in service for the relatives
who remain, above all, for the chill
dren. In most cases, perhaps, sor-
row becomes an incentive to a
deeper humanity for the sake of the
Fatherland and of the dear dead.
Just as n can speak of death on
the field of honor" one should say
that the quiet labor of the sorely
tried mother or wife in the service
of charity and love is a patriotic
work, that covers her with everlast-
ing honor. The main difference lies
perhaps in the fact that this work
is done unobtrusively and away
from the public view. But this
makes it no less great. And the
spirit of self-sacrifce is of eqtsal
worth.
Many mourners manifest a nat
ural desire to display as little Q
their sorrow as possible in the pres
ence of others. The Fatherland de
mands work, just as it demands
human life on the battlefield. Is it,
then, right to motlrn? A beautiful
poem which first appeared in the
Lubbock "Anzeiger' expresses far
better than any words of mine the
silent sorrow and the spirit Of self
sacrificing service in memory of the
dead.

cross. IN. N. fell on the field of
honor" is the sentence with which
many start off. Others announce:
"So-and-So suffered death for the
Fatherland," or .'the hero's death
for Emperor and Empire" Many
societies make known the deaths
among their members. The great
Deutsche Bank has 5000 OF its
1000 employees in the field, and
publishes its own "News Letter of
the German Bank, Dedicated to its
Employees with the Colors,' which
contains lists of those fallen, deco
rated for bravery or promoted. A

those fallen means a vacant place
in a family circle, the forcible tear
ing away of a father, a son, a hus-
band, a sweetheart, and with this a
deep sorrow, perhaps desperation,
not alone over the loss of a beloved
relative, but because of the uncer-
tainty of the famity's future. If
one thus puts life into the dead fig
ures, if one considers that everyman
fallen was the object of concern
and love, that he himself has pro-
vided and cared for others, then
one realizes to some extent the ter
ror conveyed by those figures and
the endless woe they signify to
those left behind.
What impresses you from the
moment you set foot on German
soil is the accentuation of life, the
intensifcation of all activities from
the normal gait of peace times to
the hioh speed demanded by the
war. Every one and everything
radiates energy, productivity, life
Yet underneath the gigantic whir'
of the war machinery that deafens
and overwhelms you at first yor
soon perceive the undercurrent 0
death and mourning that soon OBJ
trudes itself more and more or
your observation. Not that the suf-
ferings caused by the war losses adj
v%ertise themselves. The most poig-
nant sorrow prefers to withdraw
behind shut doors and curtained
windows. 1t does not willingly ex-
hibit itself in street and mart. 1t
is not carried on the sleeve. The
eye of the stranger seldom has an.
opportunity to notice it. It has even
been proposed in Germany that no
mourning garments shall be worn,
but such a measure has been felt to
be unnecessarily harsh. Still, deep
mourning is worn only by the near
est relatives. 1t is not seldom that
large families suffer several be-
reavements, particularly families in
which service in the officers corps
of the army or navy has become a
family tradition. One hears Of fam
lilies in which four or even five sons
have fallen. And then again many
aged parents have had to sacrifice
their sole earthly support upon the
altar of the Fatherland.
The strong feeling shared by all
for the demands made by the
Fatherland and the submission Of
the Individual certainly lightens the
lot of those left behind and makes
it easier for them to bear their sor-
row. Countless numbers of them
feel, indeed, that it has been a priv
ilege to sacrifice their beloved ones
for the dear and sacred cause of
the Fatherland and in this feeling
there lies-if not comfort-never-
theless a source Of courage and in
ner strength. But when the war is
over and daily life resumes its
wonted course, when friends and
acquaintance welcome back their
living, decked with honors, what
will be the feelings of those who.
have lost their dear ones? Only
then, perhaps, will come the hard.

Fallen for the Fatherland
There is no death that is higher.)
The German armies have fought
many great battles and suffered
heavy losses in dead, wounded and
missing. How great these losses
are, perhaps no one knows with GER
tainty. Lists are being regularly
published and compiled, but every
day brings numerous fresh victims
to those that have gone before, and
the terrible upheaval that staggered
the world in the early days of Au-
gust, 1914, seems to have settled
down into an endless agony to
which the nations submit with
meek resignation. The losses of the
great nations involved are no longer
counted by the hundred thousand,
but by the million. Before this war
the human imagination was unable
to conceive SO immense a destruc-
ton of human life in so short a
space of time.
To be sure, these vast numbers
include the missing, many of whom
will be returned to their country
and their home when the war is
over, and the wounded, a large pro-
portion of whom will recover their
health and strength. But there are
the dead, lost prematurely and for
ever to their dear ones! A~ssuredly,
few of the dead will have left no
relatives whatever. Every one of

words that my only, beloved son."
my son, my child" has fallen for
the Fatherland? Father, mother
and a daughter sign another an
nouncement telling that their two
only sons and brothers, the one a
medical student, twenty years old,
the ohter a nineteen-year-old lieu-
tenant, "who were the joy of our
lives" fell on the same day in
Galicia. With visible and compre-
hensible pride, mention is made of
the fact that the dead man had
earned the iron cross or had been
proposed for it. In the announce
ment of the death of an only son
the parents state that the regiment,
in the words of a letter from the
commander, was proud to have
counted the dead man among its
members.
While news of death must come
as a hard blow, harder still is the
uncertainty over the fate Of the
missing that keeps the relatives,
week after week, suspended be-
tween hope and despair. Ear from
his home and his dear ones"-thus
ran n announcement-"our only,
dearly beloved, brave son, the vol
1nteer N. N, died the hero's death
for the Fatherland in his twentieth
year in the faithful discharge of his
duty in an attack on Dixmuide.
After many weeks, full of sorrow
full waiting, we have only now re
ceived this news. May he rest
peacefully in foreign SOIL" Not to
be able to care for the grave of a
dear departed one, not even to
know where he is buried-what a
bitter drop is this in the already full
cup of grief One announcement
concludes with a verse saying that
those left behind cannot do any,
thing more for him who has fallen,
not even lay a flower on his grave.
Another notice says that a lieu
tenant-colonel, seriously wounded
i'll Belgium died of his injuries, fol-
lowing into death his wife, who had
died a few days before him, while
he lay dying in a foreign land.
In times Of peace the death
notices had perhaps by our daily
perusal of them lost some of their
deep significance. But not SO now.
The v~icissitudes, the deep tragedies
of life are contained in a single
word. The examples | have cited
above show that clearly enough.
Yet their tone is calm and re-
strained. The Fatherland makes
the same demands on the courage
and patience of those at home as on
the soldiers at the front. And in
the same spirit as in the trenches
and on the battlefield, these de-
mands r met in the thousands and
thousands of German homes over
which the Angel of Death has cast
his shadow, Or in which the rela-
tlves are tormented by the agoniz-
ing uncertainty over the fate of a
husband or a son. 1t is not sur
prising that some breakdown in
mute despair under the burden of
grief. But as a general rule sor-
row finds expression in the care for

is made that these feathered creatures
more than repay all their damages by

SKIM MILK AS POULTRY FEED
One of Best Protein or Meat" Feeds
That Can se Given Fowls Dur
ing Winter Months.

Hens need some feed that is high
in protein and they need this especial
ly in winter One of the best protein,
or meat feeds that farmers can use
is skim milk or buttermik. 1t is
cheap, the hens like it, and it gets
results.
In experiments made at the Indiana
experiment station the hens fed skim
milk laid 1854 eggs a year for four
years Those fed no meat" food,
such as skim milk. laid only 32.5 eggs
a year for four years. The skim-mill
pullCts laid better in December and
January than those given meat scrap
or fish scrap. In the pen where the
hens were fed skim milk it cost less
than 10 cents to produce a dozen eggs
The birds used were Leghorn nuilets
the total cost Of feeding was 81
year, and the profit on each hen in
the skim-milk pen was $1.62 a year,
a higher profit than on any other pen
in the test.
Skim milk fed to chickens must be
thoroughly sour. It must not be fed
"on the turn as in that case it will
sour in the fowls stomach. Feed sour
skim milk or buttermilk with an egr
mash. The proportion Of Cottonseed
meal in the egg mash may he reduced
from 33 l-3 per cent to 20 per ceut
when the milk is used. When this
combination is fed it is not necessary
to give the fowls water to drink
