A MOTHERS PROMISE
TO HER SON
By KATHLEEN NORRIS

My Dear One-Im writing this very,
very small and on the thinnest Of pa
per, so that tightly folded-it may slip
into one of the olive drab pockets of
your new uniform without encroaching
for the tiniest part of an inch upon all
the new things that you must have
there-the passports and identifica-
tion slips aad photograph, the knife
and pen and writing pad, the lists
and numbers and names and clphers,
the address book and the thin manual
you have been studying so hard and
the slim little Bible, for this letter Is
a part Of your equipment, too, or at
least like to think that 1t Is.
I'm going to tell you in 1t just one
or two of the things we've been try
ing not to sayin these last days. You've
said to yourself. haven't you, that
there were possibilities that /, thank
God, hadn't seemed to think Of
You've maryelled gratefully, haven't
you, that l could say goodby with
dry eyes and talk about what we
should do when the war is over. My
dear, there is nothlng-nothing-that
can happen to you that haven't fore
seen in every detail since Mig, since
the very beginning Of 1t all. ] know
that some of our men are not going to
come back. ! know--as write this
in the room you love-that your fin
gers may tumble for this little piece
of paper in some dreadful hour, a
month or two months or six months
from now, just to read II over once
more for the last time, just TO feel
in your fingers out there in shell
lighted battlefield something that l
have touched-for goodbye.
And thinking of all this for almost
a year while you've been getting
ready to 90 I've been getting ready to

stay. Just as you planned planned,
and l said to myself: "When the time
comes for us to part l shall make him
promise" Dear one, this is my
promise, and / make 1t for the term
Of your Own-"for the duration of the
present war"
l promise you that while you are
away, whether 1t is months or years,
nothing except what l can give you
and give all the others shall fill my
life. l promise you that l shall de-
vote myself, here in safety, to the
work of making what you do easier
and stronger and safer for you.
promise you that / shall give-and
give and give-for the Cause! Not
the money l can spare, not the time
l have left when everything else is
done, but all the money, all the time,
all the energy havel
Your whole life has been altered,
has been set to sterner and graver
music. So shall mine be. You will
know self denial, privatlon and fatigue
while the war lasts. So shall | know
them. Even If black news comes, even
II the blackest comes, l shall remem-
ber that against your brave heart this
promise Is resting, and shall go on.
And while there is one man among our
million and among the millions Of our
allies who needs clothing and nursing
and comforts and solace for your sake
/ shall not fail him.
Perhaps in Gods goodness this note
will come safely back to me in the
olive drab pocket, and we will smile
over It together But, remember, until
that hour comes shall be always busy
filling my own small place in the great
machine of mercy and as truly under
the colors over here as you are over
there. God bless, you!

In asking the public to voluntarily

NEGRo's RIGHTS DEFENDED

To the Editor of The Journal.
In your issue of Nov appears a letter under the

make the correction to show that Mr.. Heath s
information is as incorrect as his logic is bad In
the next paragraph Mr.. Heath says that Lincoln
advocated the colonization Of the Negro, but that
the southern states refused TO consider his. Does
Mr.. Heath know why the South vetoed such move
and if what reason has he to think that it feels
any different today? \ little later on Mr. Heath
says Their numbers have increased to such
an extent as to render such project almost impoS-
sbe, and toward the end of his article he lays
out quite an elaborate plan for doing the same.
Why attempt to do something which he says is al
most mpossibe Then. perhaps, the wishes of the
coored people themselves should be consulted
In another paragraph Mr. Heath says, 1T is a
beautiful theory that places the Negro the same
plane of citizenship" Yet hundreds of thousands

PEACE

This is being written Monday, Nov. II, 1918,
a memorable day in American history As we essay

inuumerabIe bells and the voice of the multitude.
Everybody is crazy with JOY, not excepting our
selves. And well might be. Hasn't Germany
accepted the Ally terms Harsh? OF course they
are harsh but more than would have been
imposed had conditions been reversed; no less than
ought to be imposed upon the ravshers of Belgium,
the dcStroycrs of the Tusania and the vioators of
all the rules Of civilized warfare.
PEACE! What world of meaning to millions in
this country alone to the mothers, the wives the
sisters and sweethearts. to say nothing Of us mere
men who may think we conceal our emotion
our pen fails us we are not equal to the task

WHO COUNsELs pELCE?

Written by Robert Southey in 1914
Who counscls peace at this momentous hour
When God has given dcvcrance to the oppresse'
And to the injured power}
Who counsels peace, when Vengeance, like food
Rolls on, no longer now to be repressed;
When innocent blood
From the four corners Of the world cries out
For justice upon the accused head;
When Freedom hath her holy banners spread
Over all nations now in one Just cause
United; when with one sublime accord
Europe throws off the yoke abhorred,
And loyalty and faith and ancient laws
Follow the ayeuging sword?

Nothing daunted, the young woman

When she had crossed the English
channel she learned that her fiance
