The Cloud
sV OR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915 by Frank Crane)

over the sky of the world is a black
cloud. Its shadow lies upon every soul
Brave men blanch at its hideous light
nngs. Women cringe at its ominous
thundcrs.
The unbelievable has come true. The
impossible has happened. The frghtful
fact has outrun imagination.
The Great War is the largest spiritual
Increment of the minds of men today. 1t
is in the back of every brain. 1t sleeps
in every soul 1t leaps up before Us in
the morning paper IL is the last topic
before we go to bed. When We awake
in the night we hear the roar of the guns
in France echoing in our fancy. When
we sink to sleep It is TO dream of the
detailed horrors of which we have read.
Like a monomania the war obsesses
the universal mind. 1t is ghost in every
family's closet 1t is spectre clutehing
every woman's heart. 1t is an evil eye
fixed upon every child. 1t is a threat at
every mans business. It's robber hand
is in every bank treasure, reaches to-
ward every housewives store, and grasps
at every farmers crops.
1t is as tho hell had vomited in gigan-
tic volcano, and the smoke had covered
the heavens, and the burning ashes and
lava We're dropping down on all mankind.
No one escapes A million young men
are leaving shop and field and school and
are taking up the hard life Of the soldier
in the sixteen environments. For every
one of them a womans heart is anguish
ed. In how many homes little children
are praying for the father that has gone
away How many mothers are weeping
at midnight and smiling bravely in the
morning,
Yes; those guns that roar their de-
tonating chorus in France vibrate in
every home in England, in every moujiks
cabin in Russia, in every humnn habita-
ton in America, in Australia, in New Yea
land in Japan, in China, in the sunny
fields Of Italy. in the lowlands of Hol-
land
Surely the Great Beast Of the Apoca-
lypse has arisen and reigns his forty
and two months having a mouth speak
ing great things and blasphemies, and
causeth al, both small and great, rich
and poor, free and bond, to receive
mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads."
Against the cloud are arrayed the
forces Of sunlight. Against the beast all
the clans of honor, truth and justice are
gathering This is no time for divided
loyalty. Let us have no more argument,
no more indecision. II ever God has
spoken II is now. He calls every man
and woman in America TO join his ranks
For He is marching on.
Re has sounded forth the trumpet that shan
never call retreat;
He f. sitting out Tho hearts OF men before
Hs judgmentseat:

Because 1t Is Hard For
Many To Recognize 1t Is
A Different England

Certain Americans, whose patriotism IS
beyond question, can't rid themselves OF
distrust Of England, the greatest OF
America allies
They want England to win because she
Il allied with the United States but they
doubt whether she is actuated by the
same high motives with which America
entered the world war.
Despite the fact that there is scarcely
a notable family in Britain which has
not lost at least one son on the b.oody
fields of France, they doubt that England
Is doing her full share Of the fighting
Especially are they convinced that the
troops from the British dominions, Cam
ada. Australia and New Zealand have
been called upon to do the bulk Of the
fighting, while the regiments from the
homeland have been given the posts Of
less danger.
There are a variety of reasons for this
entirely erroneous belief
First and foremost is the fact that
our school histories have taught too
much Of the England Of George III and
not enough of the England Of Lloyd
George.
Then the activities Of the Canadians,
our near neighbors, have naturally re-
ceived a greater amount Of space in
American newspapers than the equally
valorous exploits of the cousins of the
"Old Land"
But the chief reason for the wide cir
culation of this libel is found in the eff
forts of the army of pro-German agents
with whom, to quote Curtis Roth, "the
world is literally a-crawl today
Quick to sense the distrust of England
held by many Americans as the legacy
from by-gone wars, they have left no
stone unturned to spread the idea that
England is not doing her bit-that the
English were safely at home in London
while the troops from the colonies were
doing the fighting.
Even in Canada, where there is nat
uraIly better understanding of Eng
lish war effort than in the United States,
this propaganda has been circulated with
some success, so that on several occa-
sions the leading Dominion newspapers
have felt called upon TO refute it
About the most convincing reply to
this enemy SANDER which we have seen
to date is contained in the Toronto Star.
a newspaper which, far from champion
ing the aristocratic traditions of the
mother country, has been an out-and-out
foe Of Toryism, and inclined to place
Canadian interests first in all questions
involving imperial relations
Quoting official figures, The Star saws
or the numbers OF British troops engaged in
the war 10 percent are English. 8 percent Scotch
percent Irish. and Is percent from Canada
Australasia. India etc But Of the casualties I'D
TO date rs percent were Of tho English troour
This question needs no discussion in Canada
except where the destinations OF some furtiye
enemy eympathiZer need 10 be refuted
England contributes 20 percent Of the total
British lighting force In the war and IS percent
OF the casualties, which shows her troops have
done not less. but somewhat more. than their
share OF the fighting.
Americans may rest assured that Eng
land is doing her bit, and will keep on
doing it to the end of the chapter.
