MEMORIAL DAY, 1918.
By DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1851
Memorial day comes this year with

Memorial day comes this year with
a new significance.
Not long since the soldiers who pa
raded with the flag, leading the way
to the cemetery to honor the heroic
dead. were mostly graybeards. Year
by year we watched their backs
STOPPING. their cheeks furrowing with
years. their strength fading.
And that meant that little by little
the fact that the price Of liberty Is
eternal vigilance was fading from our
lives. The great sacrifice was becom-
ing history.
Now it springs again into realiza-
ton Every issue of the newspaper
carries its list of "killed in action.
The bloody sickle of destiny is busy.
We have reached another station on
the road of progress. where Death
stands and takes his toll
The sun never sets now but that
new blood has watered the soil Of
freedom. new loves are darkened, new
hopes forever chilled.
Every day some daring young avi-
ator plunges to death. some brave soi4
dier at his post reels into the black
river. and some woman at home
shrieks as the terrible news pierces
her heart.
We are paying our installment on
the price Of liberty.
But this visitation Of wrath from
the high gods, who exact their pay
in advance for the golden age. finds
us not gloomy. nor resentfuL nor
fearing. We are proud that We and
ours have been deemed worthy to suf-
fer and to die for the redemption of
the world.
Beneath our tears is an inward joy.
Under our sadness our hearts are
erect. Bathed in grief our wills be-
come as tempered steel.
Let the bugles blow, then, this Me-
mortal day, and the childrDn sing and
the bands play. Fer we know how to
rejoice as heroes. as well as how to
be glad in the sun of prosperity.
We exult in the pains of our great
passion. For our boys are dying in
Picardy for the same cause for which
Jesus died in Judea. to save the vAorld.
Beat the drums! Light the bonSres,
We face yoS. o Destiny. smiling. Do
your worst. You find. and shall find.
US unafraid."
We strew our blossoms on the same
years. but for every rose or lilac
spray we place here there is a ghost
sister over there, somewhere in
France, a phantom Hover that carries
all our love and pride.
AS we have not forgotten the vet
Grams of the civil war, SO we shall not
forget you, great sons of great sires.
For you are fighting, as they fought,
that
''Sweetee shall the roses blow
In those far years. those happier years,
And children weep, when we lie low.
Far fewer tears. far softer tears
