LAST MESSAGE OF
A BRAVE SOLDIER
MOST IMPELLiNG EXAMPLE OF
AMERICAN lDEALlSM IN WAR

Following appears a soldiers letter
and mothe's comment that carry Il
thrill of human interest the like Of
which has not appeared since Amer
lea entered the conflict The Dis
patch is indebted to Mr. c. d, Bercaw
for it, and the Literary Digest is re-
sponsibe for its getting into public
print.
Among the hundreds of letters car
rying the story of American idealism
strengthened rather than crushed by
the material and spiritual brutality of
war, the one quoted below stands out
with a strange and delicate poig-
nancy. 1t was written by one of the
five soldier sons of Mrs. Wenonah
Stevens Adams, a widow, of Min
neapolis Mimi. The writer has been
reported Missing" another son he'd
been killed, and the three others arc
in the United States Navy
Mrs. Adams tells in the American
Magazine some of her feelings and
thoughts about the war, and mentions
the reason that moved her to make
public the singularly intimate last
message from the second of her sons
claimed by the conflict She writes:
We mothers who have entered the
valley of the shadow of death to open
the gates of life have learned the
courage born of fear We must keep
our poise now, be worthy of our sons
AS | sit with the last message from my
boy in my hands pray that if my lads

ideals. l will strive to keep calm ANA

and helpful-for it requires all these
traits to live rightly now.
Missing! The day that message
came ! disconnected mp phone, refus-
ed to see any one, could not even
pray. l had bravely faced one sons
death; but in the lists of the dead,
wounded, the missing it is the I'M
known fate that brings the strain to
mother and fathers"
The missing soldier volunteered in
a Canadian engineering regiment in
1914, moved by impulses that sent
many young Americans in to Canad-
ian regiments before America took
her stand on the side of civilization.
and finding there the basic truth that
in view of the issus involved in this
war, she would rather have any son
of hers "a dead man rather than a
live Stacker" she writes of his last
letter
| believe that it reveals what thous-
ands and of other boys feel as they go
into dangers from which they know
they may never return. Because of
this am willing to share my boys
letter with the mothers of those other
boys. 1t begins:
Dear Mother: Before you read
