The Story of Three Boys and How
They Did Their Duty in the War

"a story by Harold Whitehead, Bos-
ton University, serving with the
American Council of Education,
Washington, d. C.)
Warl Like a rushing, living torch
that word lighted divine fire IN these
glorious United States on that nevei-
to- o-be-forgotten April 6, 1917.
From the busy rush OF the big city,
from the quiet peace OF the. Village
came a mighty force Volunteers TO
fight for the most glorious heritage
man ever fought Freedom.
The demands were ENORMOUS, for
the task was gigantic. but the de-
mands were met with a promptness

and deadly earnestnesss that heartene
our courageous allies.
This war was no impersonal affair,
hut something that touched every
home and every heart. An eager de-
sire to anticipate the call to duty
thrilled millions OF men and women.
What that duty actually was, many
people only vaguely understood. Our
Government promptly realized the
need for pointing out the duty to its
citizens, for IL did not at once call
everyone to battle on the tortured
fields of France with the greatest
seourge that ever cursed the world.
In the small. busy manufacturing
town of Hammerville lived old man
Parsons with his wife and their three
sons,-John, the eldest, was twenty
four years old; Robert. who would
soon graduate from high school, was
going on eighteen, while Dick-dear,
mischevious Dick-was sixteen,-
three boys whose manliness would
cause a glow of pride to any parents.
on that memorable April 9th, the
orderly routine OF the Parsons house
hold was rudely shaken when Robert
rushed excitedly into the house and
yelled
It's war. Dad! It's war, Mother!
Gee, now Wen give the Hun something
TO remember. I've just seen John:
he's going to enlist II says we're
going to send millions of men to
France q. hope I'll have to 60"
The father looked with pride on his
son, but the mother merely smiled

others should not see the anguish in
Der eyes. "Of course II the boys had
to go. she would be proud to have

Mrs. Pearson read the news item
carefully three times. AS she was fin

band came in. one glance told him
that each had read the important
news.

After n time. however. he saw that

is too good; something is wrong with
the lad
There was, and day or SO later a
very rebeIlious Dick stood manfully be-
fore his father and said:
Father, I'm going to woIii; I can
get a job in the Hillside Mill and work
on war supplies. 1 can't be a Stacker;

"Yes. father

Dick promised, and it was a long
week of waiting for him, Before the
week was out, however, Mr.. Parsons
asked Dick to go for a walk with,
him. Father and son set off together
and after a few minutes Mr.. Parsons
lsaid:

Secretary Baker of course" Dick
answered with surprise.
II suppose he'd know as well as
anybody what would help to win the
war, wouldn't he?"
Sure, he would"

laughed.

of providing in full measure for the
education of all people, That in
cludes you. Dick. YOU know"
Again Dick made no reply.
who's the United States Commits
sioner of Education?"
"Mr. Claxton, isn't he2"
Yes. He says: When the war is
over there will be made upon us such
demands for men and women of
knowledge as has never before come
to any country. There will be equal
need for much higher average OF in
telligence for citizenship than has ever
been necessary until now. The world
will have to be rebuilt and American
college men and women must assume
a large part of the task . . Yea

Dick gave n little sigh. "I guess
you're right. father. Say, but it's
tough to have 10 stick in school
though"
"Of course 1t is, Dick. You've got
as hard a job as John or Robert. but

Robert graduated from high school

ALL CHARRED BEYOND REC
OGNITION-TWO MISSING.
PROPERTY LOSS $4,000.

Norman, Okla, April l5.-Up to
a late hour this afternoon, 33 bodies,
burned and charred beyond recogni-
ton, had been taken from the ruin
ed building that housed ward IA of
the state hospital for the insane
here, ravaged by fire that started
at 3 o'clock this morning.
Three buildings, all frame struc-
lures, were destroyed by the con-
flagration and a fourth damaged
severely.
The list OF missing tonight stood
at 81, having been increased to that
number from 80 this afternoon.
According to the best information
obtainable, the fire started from de-
fective wiring in a linen closet in
ward IA. A night watchman dis
covered the blaze in the closet
shortly after 2 o'clock this morn
ing, and when the door had stood
open for a few moments, while the
watchman ran for help, the floor
OF the building took fire and the
blaze quickly spread throughout the
first floor of the two-story struc-
ture.
Thirty-five helpless negroes were
carried quickly from the adjoining
ward, but the blaze in ward IA hat
gained too much headway to al
low any effective rescue work there
and it was in this ward that all the
deaths occurred.
Ward 10, a one-story frame struc
ture, next caught fire. A total O.
50 patients were removed from it
most OF them having to be carried
out in arms of rescue workers.

those principles which are recog-

Oklahoma in addressing a luncheon
Of the National Security League
here today.
Having declared for these princi-
pies on international government,
including disarmament at the end Of
the war, and other policies set forth
by President Wilson, Senator Owen
said the compact of nations should

do not desire to rob you, but we say
to you that unless you underwrite
these great principles of internation-
al government-unleSS you use your
influence to bring this war to an end
we WILL after 4 limited number of
months, impose upon you the fol-
lowing penalties
The speaker then enumerated the
exclusion from all ports of the con-
federated nations OF all German
shipping; banning OF importation OF
German-made goods and of the ex-
porting, directly or indirectly, OF
any manufactured articles OF com
merce into Germany; the seizure OF

their liberties -
This suggestion make because
it would save, possibly, the slaughter
of the youth OF the world" Senator
Owen added. 1T is intended to no
