Ordinarily, such moment has but one side

But behind the cloud of war that
nenaces the United States TODAY,
looms a tremendous opportunity for SER
Uice to mankind, and some of the a.Uful-

thereby.
THE WAR HAS BECOME STRUGGLE BE-

1t has created one democracy-in Russia democracy
gaining its momentum directly from rcvulsion of feeling
against the intrigues of the kaiser.
1t needs only another little spark in the kaisers

overthrow the Hohenzollern dcspotism.
The United States entering into the war may furnish
that very spark may lend the needed encouragement

Our alignment against German autocracy may be the
which tho brought into being. still needs the

THE WORLDS WAR
Through WOman's Eyes
"The Last CdIP'
By ELLEN ADAIR

But twas the service on the battlefield
that was more wonderful than this"
heard a soldier whisper, land twas on the
battlefield the padre was wshln' his last
call would come. For. boys he would
say. I'd like to die alongside ye. fghtin
TO the end"
1t was in a remote part of the High.
lands of Scotland not very long ago that
came across a little graveyard most of
whose age-worn tombstones dated back to
the fifteenth century.
Several of the inscriptions were poetical
and crude--as used to be the fashion a
hundred or so odd years ago. The faults
of the departed, as well as the virtues,
were set forth for all the world to read.
Here one could learn that bad temper and
sptefulness had been the leading charac-
teristics of the occupant of one grave,
while nearby a paragon of perfection lay,
''mourned and lamented by all who knew
him"
But the small cross that caught my eye
was of simple wood and very new. It
somehow seemed strangely out OF place
in that old-world graveyard. so ] crossed
over TO read the inscription. 1t was
scrawled in pencil, roughly:
THE Last Call"
Below was the name of very famous
soldier of a Highland regiment man
who had won every decoration for GAL
lantry that it is possible to win.
For moment I wondered that such +,
gallant and famous soldier should lie in
such simple grave, with only a wooden
cross TO mark 1t.
And then ] remembered the story OF his
little Highland mother. who had come all
the way to France, just to bring his body
home for burial. She was far too proud
to accept penny for expenses, too Jealous
that any one else might want to share
the honor of burying him. So she herself
had erected the little cross and inscribed
the words on it.
wreath of white heather lay on the
grass above the grave And the rain and
the damp had blurred the writing on the
cross or perhaps it was the mothers
tears, who knows?
And as l drew nearer ] read some
words written in much smaller writing
below "The Last Call"
They were: "He answered 1t brayely.
and as a soldier"
