MODEST HEROES

One OF the things which makes Itself
felt Immediately after we have been
with our service men who have re-
turned from the battleaelds Of France
and have talked with them. Is the en-
tire absence OF anything like Dragging
or clustering. Undoubtedly, this Is
characteristic Of the large majority
Of tho real lighting men everywhere,
but among our own boys. not one IN
stance II this sort Of thing is noted.
without exception these home low
ing. quiet young men, who were taken
away from their simple pursuits, and
In 4 few months could be numbered
among the bravest and best Of the
soldiers Of the world, have nothing 10
say IN praise 81 their own deeds. and
can hardly be induced 10 tell even the
simple incidents OF their service, so
ayerse are they 10 anything like parad-
Ing what they have done
Most 81 rs felt that We could not
love these boys any more than we did
when they were away from US, but
their simple and modest bearing In
the face Of the expressions OF honor
and admiration which the home peo-
pie have delighted ID giving them, has
made even warmer place ii our
hearts.
