I was sitting at my desk talking to
a lieutenant Of the Jersey National
Guard. On the wall was big war

Lille flags showing the position of the
Opposing armies on the western front
in France. In front of me on the desk
lay New York paper with big fiaring
headlines:

The windows were open and feel
ing of spring pervaded the air.
Through the open windows came the
strains of hurdy-gurdy playing in the
street-'T Didn't Raise My Boy TO Be
a Soldier"
''Lusitania Sunki American Lives
Lostr'-'T Didn't Raise My Boy to
BE a Soldier" To us these did not
seem to jibe.
The lieutenant in silence opened one
OF the lower drawers Of his desk and
took from 1t an American flag which
