The
Living Monument
r.
By GEORGE BARR Nc CUTCHEON
Of The TigHonfeS

In the little Connecticut town OF
Norfolk there is triangular piece OF
,ground belonging to the people. For
years it stood useless, almost aban-
:doned, and to certain extent UNI
noticed. Norfolk sent to France early
lin 1918 q score and half of her boys
to fight with the American armies.
Other boys followed and still more in
due course were called from the small
but hardy class representing the fight
ing quota.
A few months after the first contin-
gent marched out of the town on its
way to ~, training camp and thence
to the line of battle, Norfolk began to
receive its share of tidings from the
front. Names of boys known to every
one in the town were found in the lists
iof those "killed in action Boys whose
faces We're bright and shining and
whose voices were strong and CHEEKY
were never to return. They were lying
in the fields of France, covered with
the earth of France, and over the
graves of each stood the small but
noble cross of wood bearing name
AM date.
The return of these names to Nor
folk instead of flesh and blood that
went away, gave Norfolk It's inspira-
ton. The little green triangle became
tract of glory. No more will it be
looked upon as waste, no more will
the people of Norfolk call it iwOrth-
less bit of ground. For some one
thought of way to make it rich;
some one thought of a way to make 1t
the most cherished spot in Norfolk.
Tree for Each Hero.
On Flag day in the year that the
war made heroes of these lads from
Norfolk the people of that place dedi-
Gated the point of this triangle to the
memory of those who were not to come
back from France. At that time four
of NOrfolk's boys were lying in
France under cheap little crosses of
wood, and on this day four little
crosses of wood similar to those in
France, with a name and date on
each, were driven in the ground at
the point of the triangle, and there
they will stay until they are perhaps
replaced by more enduring and i'm
,,pressive marks of tribute. But the lit
tile crosses of wood are not all that
the people of Norfolk placed in the
Village triangle in memory of the boys
who will not come back. Something
that will live and thrive and beautify
the barren triangle was placed there
for each boy, and it is named for hin.

America Their Only
Hope
Ey CHARLES J.ROSEBAULT
of The Ti2i!Infes

From PARKWAY Asia comes cry
for help addressed to the wide world.
1t is cry made up of many voices.
1t issues from the desert lands OF
Arabia, from the mountains of the
Russian Caucasus, from the highways
and byways of Turkey, of Mesopo-
tamia, of the Holy Land. The indi-
viduals who make up the great mass
from which comes this call to the CIV
flized world are scattered far and
wide. 1t includes four hundred thou
sand children in towns and cities and
villages or hiding like frightened rab-
bits in such shelters as they can find
I'm the open country; women, most OF
them gray and beyond the years of
,cOmeliness. and others looking from
behind barred windows of the prisons
called harems; old men and men dis
abled. and few men still in the
prime of life but hidden in mountains
and obscure places.
All these are joining in the cry that
comes to us across the fertile l.,ndS
and the Deserts of Asia, the wartorn
countries of Europe, the vast Atlantic
and across our own great continent
to the very ends thereof. 1t is Il sad
CRY, an agonized cry, made up of the
treble of children. the soft voices of
women, the harsh bass Of men and.
mighty as is the mass of it, rising
from four million throats. yet has it
the ring of exhaustion, the frenzy of
desperation. To the attentive ear it
says: This is the end; if help comes
not soon, we will call no mOre-fOr
the end will have come for us.
America Must Respond
Particularly is this appeal directed
to America-the one great country
which is prosperous because it en-
tered the war only comparatively re-
Gently and has had to bear only
small part of the cost of keeping the
world safe for democracy. 1t is Amer
lea which must espond-immediately
and without stint. Later on there
will be time to consider fastening this
cost upon the responsible parties in
the form Of'stern demands for repara-
.tiOn and indemnity There is no time
for considering the call of justice
now. One does not think first of pun
fishing the asSailant when one sees his
victim bleeding on the pavement.
If America could only visualize the
terrible situation. Here are four mil
lion victims of Turkish vilainy and
brutality, under the guidance of Prus-
sian efficiency" Here are husband
less wives and fatherless children.
Never mind the dead men-rnOre than

CASTOR OIL FROM ORIENT
Thousands of Gallons Are Coming
Through the Port Of
Seattle.

Seattle, Wash.-Thousands of gal.
Ions Of castor oil are coming through
this port from the Orient, and it has
been largely due to this importation
that Americas airplane performance
in the war has been so successful.
Castor oil has proved to be the best
lubricant for airplane motors. but its
production in this country was lin
tied.
The United States government en-
couraged the planting OF castor beans,
but the crop was failure. In the
Orient crops have been exceedingly
bountiful. 1t is believed the stream
Of oil flowing into this country soon
will be increased owing to the use of
airplanes on mail routes.

For each hero q tree was planted, and
it will always he known as his tree,
by his name; and long after the great
grandchildren of those who now live
in Norfolk are dead and gone, these
trees will still be standing and they
will be known through all the sunshine
and storm of the ages to come by the
ing.
A Fine Example.
The thought is a beautiful one. That
little triangle in Norfolk will have
many trees and crosses, the boys who
died in France will live and grow to an
age far beyond the years Of the Oldest
of men. The John Perkins ELM" or
the Henry Smith Oak" as the case
may be, will be living in Norfolk 200
years after the day on which they
were so lovingly named by a forgotten
generation.
And how simple, how easy this way
of concentrating the deeds and the
spirit of the boys who went forth to
the war never to come home again. A
little cross of wood for the present, a
towering tree for the future, and the
name of hero preserved for an aga
to come.
Whst better example could be set
for tie rest of the country than this
beautiful act of the people of Norfolk7
Why not in every community, plot of
hallowed ground with it's trees bearing
the names of the boys who went out
and did not come back? A living
monument, green and spreading with
tlnsyears to'stand as guardian over
the memory of him who fell in battle:
not the artificial product of man, but
the incomprehensible handiwork OF
God who first put life into the body
Of the boy whose death dignifies the
community that lost him.
