a crowd in a street watching a
regiment 60 by? Who has not
caught the thrill that went
through the people as the first
orderly, steel. tipped rank swept
by? Who has not felt the mount
ing enthusiasm as platoon fol-
lowed platoon until the street
became a brown river, running
tank-full, and the very hearts OF
bhe watchers throbbed in cadence
to the sergeants' measured chant?
Perhaps it was a regiment
outward bound, for overseas
service, and there were in the
crowd faces white to the lips, and
stained with unashamed tears.
Was it greed, or fear, or hate,
then, that caused even those
white lips to cheer? 1t were sacri-
lege to suggest it.
Have you not heard the great
shout that went up when the
colors came by? What did the
crowd see in the bits of colored
silk, brave in their flaming hues
over the brown mass beneath?
Certainly not the symbol of a
great empire, ambitious to ex-
tend its sway over all the earth.
Certainly not the gauntlet of ha.
tired, flung in the face of a de.
tested enemy. Most certainly
not the advertisement of a nation
of shopkeepers out to conquer
dividends by force of arms.
They saw the pure white of
Americas honor. They saw the
true blue of her mistaken 10y

: the red badge of her courage
that would never falter between
Chaumont and the Rhine. New
er mind what the flag was be-
fore. Never mind what it may
have become since. On April 6.
1917, it was the banner of right
eousness. For the moment, at
least, a white-hot passion for
what we believed to be the truth
had burned all our dross away;
and on April 6, 1917, America
touched the loftiest height that
1t is permitted a nation to gain
the peak of supreme and unhesi-
tating sacrifice for the right.
That Is our memory.
And our dream Is based upon
1t. What men have done, men
can do. Once, at least we were
magnificent. Once we rose
above all sordidness and shame.
Once we dared essay mighty
task, forgetting the cost and
pain. And our dream is that
some cay the spirit of greatness
will come upon US again, and we
shall complete the abandoned
task, shall highly resolve that
our dead shall not have died In
vain. And at every recurring
anniversary, garlanded with lau-
rel and with rue, the dream
comes back again.
Only a memory and a dream,
for all the cost and pain! Little,
oh, far too little and yet not to
be despised; for out of memories
and dreams have risen all the
splendors that glorify the grim
and bloody story of mankind. =

A Memory--.and a Dream

Fiveyears ago today the United
States of America started some
thing. We don't know what it
was. The.present rulers of the
republic don't know what
it was. Most certainly the men
who were in charge of affairs
April 6, 1917, are still uncertain
as to the outcome. And, with
respect, we hazard the assertion
that you don't know what it was.
The vast majority of us believed
then that we were starting on a
crusade. Some few believed
that it was buccaneering expe-
dition. But after FIVE years the
weight of evidence tends to show
that it was merely a FOOLS err
rand.
Technically, our immediate OBJ
ject was the destruction Of the
military power of the German
Roanoke Rapids herald. [volume] (Roanoke Rapids, N.C.) 1914-192?, 1922-04-14

empire. In that, we and our al
lies were prodigiously successful.
Indeed, we came near destroying
Germany altogether, people
along with political system,
which was more than the most
rabid of US advocated at that
time. We kicked the kaiser's
throne from under him, and re-
duced the German nation to
economic chains and slavery for
the next half century.
But what good did that do us?
We spent 26 billions and 100, 900
lives, and neither asked nor re-
ceived a cent of money or an
acre of ground in payment. Un-
less we received some advantage
this destruction of our substance
and slaughter our young men,
waving all consideration of its
wickedness, was the most stu
pendous folly every written upon
the record Of mankind.
We were told, andmost US be-
lieyed it, that the object of our
frightful e xertion was not t
punish the people of Germany
out of mere vindictiveness, but
to sweep away the obstacle their
pernicious political system. had
raised against the progress of in
ternational justice and fair deal
ing; so that we might erect on
the ruins Of the old, a new sys.
tenn that should work for right
eousness and peace. Believing
that, we fought blithely and
well. But when we had destroy
ed the old system, we found a
new obstacle in the way of the
ere tionof a be tier one. Tha
was another political system, but
not the one raised and maintain
ed by the Germans. 1t was our
own.
And before that enemy Amer
lea, victorious in the field, wen
down to a smashing defeat.
Where is the man bold enough
to proclaim that the system un-
der which the world is grooming
today has been in the slightest
degree improved by our war
making? Where is the man so
blind that he cannot see that the
hell-broth now simmering in Eu-
rope must, if it is left alone,
eventually boil over in a new and
more frightful war? Then what
have we to show for our struggles
and sacrifice? Well. we have
managed to put the Republicans
back in power. But if we spent
100000 men and 26 billions of
dollars to do that, when we
could have achieved the same re-
suit merely by marking ballots,
then we are the biggest fool ma
ton that ever numbered the
earth.
Yet after five years two things
are left us, and only two-a men,
Dry, and a dream. Let dingy-
souled philosophers say what they
will, we know for what it was
that we went out to fight. 1t was
not for empire, nor for vengeance,
nor for power, nor for gold. 1t was
for an ideal, and for that alone. |
