Gould Men Remember That
Theirs Are the Hearts of
Children, There'd Be No War

The daily paper, Monday, brought the
word to Detroit home that the militia
! Of all states had been ordered modified
Tor possible duty along the border, to
protect Americans against further inva,
don of Mexican bandits.
A screaming headline was interpreted
I at first glance in this home to mean that
4 the United States intended to intervene
with war upon Mexico.
From corner of the living room there
came the sobs of little girl, nearing
nix.
why, what's the matter, darling ?"
asked the mother, taking the child in
her arms.
T-don' t-papa-to-go-to to
war" said the child, the sentence length
Ianed by her continued sobs.
The day of universal peace will come
when men shall cease to forget that
theirs are still the hearts of children,
and war shall impress them first of all
~ q thing which "papas" HAVE TO
60 TO.
~ It happens this father of the little
1jrl's love and interest would not, could
not 20 to Mexico should his country go
<there to make war, and the child's tears
came from needless fear, but they rolled
down her cheeks, just the same, TO serve
= purpose.
They suggest the tears just as big, and
her little sobs suggest the sobs from
hearts breaking as hers had begun to
break, in the hundreds of thousands of
homes where war HAS sternly called to
the terrible conflict over seas.
4, They suggest the tears Of so many
children who sensed so plainly what it
has meant for papa" to go away to war,
and the helplessness of so many children
left dependents because of the "papas'
who never came back.
War is terrible thing for many rea-
sons, but is most terrible because it puts
upon the little boys and the little girls
Of papas who die in war such frightful
handicap for facing the struggle Of life
War is damnable thing, but is more
damnable because its victims are chill.
