Roosevelt's Idea Of
Duty, Life and Death

honor with the bravest soldier, for
she has gladly gone down to the
brink of the chasm of darkness to
bring back the children in whose
hands rests the future of the years.
But the mother, and far more the
father, who finch from the vital task
earn the scorn visited on the soldier
who flinches in battle. And the ma
tion should by action mark its atti-
tude alike toward the fighter in war
and toward the child-bearer in peace
and war. The vital need of the ma
tion is that its men and women of
the future shall be the sons and
daughters of the soldiers of the
present. Excuse no man from going
to war because he is married, but put
all unmarried men above a fixed age
at the hardest and most dangerous
tasks, and provide amply for the
children, of soldiers so as to give
their wives the assurance of material
safety.

I'm such a matter one can. only
speak in general terms. At this mo-
ment there are hundreds of thousands
of gallant men eating out their hearts
because the privilege of facing death
in battle is denied them. So there
are innumerable women and men
whose undeserved misfortune It is
that they have no children, or but
one child. These soldiers. denied the
perilOus honor they seek. these men
and women. heart-hungry for the
children of their longing dreams, are
as worthy of honor as the men who
are warriors in fact. as the women
whose children are of flesh and blood.
Ii the only son who is killed at the
front has no brother because HIS
parents coldly dreaded to play their
part in the Great Adventure of Life,
then our sorrow is not for them, hut
solely for the son who himself dared
the Great Adventure of Death. If
however. he is the only son because
the Unseen Powers denied others to
the love Of his father and mother.
then we mourn doubly with them be-
cause their darling went up to the
sword of Azrael. because he drank
the dark drink prOffered by the Death
Angel
I'm America today all our people
are summoned to service and sacri-
fee. pride is the portion only of
those who know bitter sorrow Rat
all of us who give service and stand
ready for sacrifice are the torch-bcar-
ers. We run with the torches until
we fall, content If we car Tn III pass
them to the hands of other runners.
The torches whose flame is brightest
are born by the gallant men at the
front and by the gallant women
whose husbands and lovers, whose
sons and brothers are at the front.
These men are high OF soul as they
face their death on the shell-shatter-
ed earth or in the skies above or i'm
waters beneath, and no less high of
soul are the women with torn hearts
and shining eyes, the girls whose boy
lovers have been struck down in their
golden morning, and the mothers and
wives to whom word has been
brought that henceforth they must
walk in the shadow"

dence of the crucifixion of an Ohio
man.
The text of the letter which Sena-
tor Poindexter has received confirm
ing the crucifixion of this man has
been made public. The letter is from
DR.. p. II. Howard, of st. Louis, who
wrote to Senator Poindexter as fol-
lows:
I'm regard to atrocities reported
by me. | reported to the headquarters
of New York of having met A. c.
Cole, 40 Prospect street, East Liver
pool, Ohio, at the Hotel D. Strass-
burg, and he told me of finding his
brother, Sergt. A. b. Cole, crucified
by the Uhlans, July 81, 1915, at the
battle of Ypres.

"A. c. Cole is a member of the
First Canadian Tunneling Company,
and was on furlough in Paris at the
time. / have his signed statement of
the above act as we'll as that of Fred
A. Robinson, Cayuga, Ind. of the
5Sth Infantry, Canada. who was
personal witness to the above.
have also interviewed five different
members of the First Canadian Tun-
neling Company in Paris who testi-
fed to the above atrocity.
"A personal feeling that any well
authenticated atrocity should be
known by the American people was
my reason for mentioning them on
my return to America"
In submitting this. letter to the Sen
ate, Senator POindexter also present
ed telegram from Montreal detail
ing gross outrages on British prison
ers and wounded men committed by
the Germans last March. The tele-
gram came from London via Montreal
and says in part:
"A private of the Royal Highland
ers tells how he and a number of
comrades consisting of one officer
and fifteen men, ten of whom were
wounded, were compelled to surren-
der near Monchy, March 2S. They
were lined up in the original front
line trench and after some time a
German officer and two men appear
ed. One of the men under orders of
the officer turned a stream of liquid
fire straight down the trench in which
the Britishers were standing, and not
withstanding the fact that they were
unarmed, continued to spray them
for six or seven minutes. The pri-
vate testified that he and a few of
his comrades who were able to move

kissing sound for short while. Then
II stopped but started again. During
this time the men we're shrieking and
writing. The flame reached right
back to where | was. My overcoat
and tunic caught fire. BY this time
all the men were on the ground.
The soldier added that he managed
to crawl up the slope and get away.
Another soldier related how an Of
ficer, wounded in the head and foot,
and four other wounded and three
unwounded men, including himself,
were in an old trench when two Ger
mans appeared and used liquid fire.
One of the Germans, revolver in
hand, ordered the Englishmen to get
back to the German line. The mar
rator said his hands and-right ear
were burned. Three of the party
managed to escape and reach the
British line. but the Germans either
must have suffocated or burned all
the five wounded men, as nothing
further had been heard from them"
Senator Poindexter, who introduce
ed this evidence of atrocities in the
Senate, is one of the most vigorous
advocates of Unconditional surren-
der" as the only basis on which the
United States will consent to deal
with the German government.

yarn and the necessity of preventing

avoid the future war for which the
Germans are openly planning. the de-
