RY REnTON RRALEY

There's been a lot written about the
brave mothers who are giving their
SONS to war. And no one will quarrel
with the words Of praise uttered in
Their behalf. It Is impossible TO over
estimate The sstrifce they make IN the
service Of uieir country.
Rut want 10 speak about ,he
fathers.
4 boys baby food and youth belong
very largely TO his mother. His father
and no may be the best Of pals. but
because the father is at his work all
day, while the mother Is at home. there
cannot be the same intimacy.
II Is not until the boy verges on man
hood, TIN he reaches that time in his
life when he Is ready 10 play the game
with men, that father and son find
themselves in closer relationship.
Then Dad discovers that the "kidr
talks his language, and the kid" learns
that Dad Is not only Dad but a bul1y
good companion and friend who under
stands his point OF view as no mother
however loving, can hope to under
stand.

THE KING OF TIE HUNS.

~ EVENTEEN years ago when German troops were about
~ TO depart from Bremerhaven to help suppress the
Boxers rebellion in China and secure revenge for what
had been done to Germans Kaiser Wilhelm said among
other things:
III you meet the enemy you will defeat him, give no
quarter, make prisoners let whoever falls in your
doomed Just as thousand years ago the Huns
under their King Etzel made FOR themselves name
which to this day is mighty one IN tradition 50 may
your appearance make the name German be feared for
thousand years in China so never again will China
dare 20 look askance at any German"
Substitute for the word "Chlnaman" the word "Aies"
and the speech might have made at tho beginning
Of this war
Tho spirit Of ruthlessness, Of Hunnish saysgery Of
utter disregard Of restraint which breahed IN the words
Of the Kaiser in 1900 ia just alive in his heart today
and in the hearts Of his men.
The Germans have not made war as civilized human
beings make They have made as it was made
thousand They have made war as their an
cestors made long before that before the religion OF
the God Of Love had been preached TO them.
The God TO whom the Kaiser is always appealing and
Of whose aid he IS always cocksure the God Of
the Christian world Il is the God his Hunnsh ances
tors, God Of battles God that reoices in blood.
No man, not the emperor of the Huns could dare
appeal 10 the God worship, when his hands are drip
ping with the blood OF the nnocenis His nnons have
outraged women and mutlaed children carried on the
helpless into slavery assassnated civilians upon the high
seas.
In no way, as a brute and barbarian is King Ezel
The superior Of Kaiser Wilhelm They ore from the same
mould. Just as King Etzel made FOR himself a name SO
has tho HohenzoIlern--a Of infamy which will be
execraed by generations yet unborn Just as he desired
the name Of German should be feared for thousand
years In China so the OF will be hated for
thousand years throughout the world
1t will not be necessary after this war; 10 form an
economic union Of the free nations against Germany The
union is already formed u union Of hearts and OF
spirits.

How About Dad?

This is the time when the father and
son plan together on the boys imme-
diate and more distant future, when
they have long smoke-talks and look
more deeply into each others hearts
and souls than ever before.
And it is just at this place in their
lives that war steps IN and separates
them. It Is just at this period that the
nation calls upon the son to serve, and
the father to sacrifice.
The mother has had the past, the
father gives up the future.
For If the boy does not come back
the father cannot have quite the store
Of memories Of the mother, and II he
does come back--as most OF them Will
he Will have spent the time that
might have. been the fathers with
other men and In other scenes. And
though he may be a bigger, stronger,
and better man for II, Dad and he will
never quite touch the intimacy they
would otherwise have known.
So without bellttlng the beauty and
holiness OF the mothers sacrifice,
speak this brief word for the brave,
quiet, fearless sacrifice Of Dad"
