Our Debt to the Dead.

To receive, after hostilities had ceased
and great expectations had been formed,
news of the death of son or relative
at the front-that is the tragedy that
has entered three st. Adams homes. The
whole city joins with the parents and
relatives in mourning the deaths Of Corp.
Walter T. Finn, Pvt. Arthur Hebert and
Pvt. Joseph Berrod.
There Is little that can be said in the
circumstances. The grief of the stricken
families is acutely reflected in the
thoughts of everyone, for those families
gave up their boys to their country ard
the boys gave up their lives for what 2
So that the rest Of us might live in peace
and security, and in the liberty Of our
own institutions. Every last one Of us
is under an unpayable debt, not alone to
our fallen soldiers, but to their families
as well. Not one of us, worthy Of the
name American, but who is conscious of
this debt, for all that we are, or all that
we can hope to be, we owe, in the final
analysis, to the daring of men, typiied
by these youthful soldiers, who all
through the history of this republic,
have fought and fell that we might live
and build.
Grief and pride must struggle for SUI
premacy in the hearts of those who have
given their sons to this cause. And with
their grief and their pride it is seemly
for the rest of us who are under such
deep and lasting obligations, to leave
them. There are times when words are
futile things. Adams Messenger
