is SHE STILL ALIVE?

For over four years a young
Greek in America had not heard
from his aged mother, who lived
in Constantinople. Eagerly he
watched the mails for a letter.
Month after month he sent her
money for food and clothing, but
never knew whether she received it
or not. -Four years passed without
word from his dear old mother
and he was frantic with grief and
despair. When the war ended and
he FASTENED home on the first boat
that sailed for Constantinople to
find out if his mother was still
alive
The terrible strain of the war
has affected nearly everyone.
American fathers and mothers
have suffered in silence, waiting
day and night for some word from
their boys far away in the army.
Thousands of foreign-born Amer
leans have waited in vain for a let
ter from their father, mother, sis
ter or brother across the sea in
war-torn Europe. Grief gripped
their hearts when they thought of
their loved ones cold, hungry and
despairing amid their ruined
homes and the graves Of their
dead.
How could they laugh when
they were sick at heart? How
could they help grieving as day
after day went by and no letter
came The mother, whose son was
wounded and at the
point of death somewhere in
France, could not go to her boy.
She could but wait and pray for
him.
With the clutch Of fear at their
hearts and nerves strained to the
breaking point, many fathers and
mothers have bravely smiled, but
the strain and suspense have
brought the gray hairs, lowered
their vitality, exhausted their
strength and undermined their
ealth.
