THE SPIRIT OF MOTHERHOOD

President Wilson has written thu
to West Virginia woman, who, il
a patriotic letter to the President in
formed him that she has already giveT
two of ner sons to the navy and will
give the third if necessary:
your feelings about your sons Is
the feeling which l should think ev-
cry mother in whom true spirit of
motherhood and of Americanism
dwells would have, and l like to be-
lieve that it is true that the country
is full of mothers of the same heroic
and self-sacrifcing sort. 1t quickens
my pulse and strengthens my belief in
the splendid capacity of this country
to meet every crisis of that sort to
receive such a message as you have
been gracious and kind enough to
send me, and l shall treasure it in
my heart as a typical expression of
devoted motherhood"
This is a war of great sacrifices, but
it is the mother that must make the
real sacrifice. She must see her son,
whom she has nursed SO tenderly in
to manhood, shoulder his gun and an
swer the call of humanity and de-
mocracy The true and devoted
mother will not beg that her son be
spared, but instead will say to I'm
Gle Sam, Here he is. He is my all,
but take and use him as you best see
fit" When the mothers of America
follow the example of this West Vir-
ginia mother, there can be but one
result-the overthrow of Prussianism.
