Shells are tossed near them now and

WHEN A BABY CRIES.

While thousands of brave men are
dying on the battlefields of Europe
among them Americans from our own
cities and towns, we pursue our daily
life much as usual, with little thought
for the dead and dying.
The great European misery mass
makes but little impression on us
that is, we feel little concern over
the matter of men in misery and
death.
But down in Missouri a baby is kid.

alive-nobody seems to know.
The attention Of nation Is arrest
ed. Everyone is concerned about this
child.
And the reason? 1t is simple. The
human heart is always touched by the
appeal OF childhood We may grow
callous to everything else, but we
cannot grow callous to the cry of a
baby
Childish prattle has always brought
us joy; childish tears have always
brought us sorrow. 1t will he so al.

Great armies may march to death
they are just armies. But when a
child is lost-ah, that is something
else. We are not happy till that child

has more than the color of being in
spired by the German government 1t
is perhaps significant that Hillquit
and Berger have been most eager to
promote that conference. These men
may be entirely sincere. Their ap'
parent pro-Gerrnan attitude may be
merely hereditary and instructive, an
unconscious tribute to the land that
gave birth to socialism. ~
At the same time we cannot over
look the possibility that Wilhelm
strasse may be operating through sub
terranean channels to influence the
action of American socialists. We
have only to recall that many such
organizations as the Friends OF Peace
were proved to be financed by Ger
many direct or by German sympathiz-
ers. If it is contended that Germany
can no longer communicate her secret
desires to the United States, we may
refer to the apparent success of Ber'
lin in learning more about the move
ments of our ships than the American
people.
