GHOSTS OF why RIDGE DO NOT
SEEK OUR PITY
(By BRUCE CATTON)

Those two pylons that rise toward the
sky along the green slopes of Vimy Ridge
were dedicated by the King of England,
and great crowd stood in silence to hear
his eloquent tribute to the heroes whom
the pylons commemorate.
Yet this memorial, like all World War
memorials, becomes more than record OF
great heroism and painful sacrifice, when
YOU think about it little. 1t is both ex-
clamatiOn point and question mark; re-
minder that human beings on this earth
must stand or fall together, all of them,
and a repetition of the wistful, unanswer-
able "Why?" which the. great war con-
tinueS to provoke.
It is a strange and tragic thing, when
you stop to ponder it, that this gigantic
memorial should rise on hillside in
France to honor the last sacrifice of co.
900 young Canadians. skin.
The.Tery pick of the earth's young man.
hood, they were, those Canadians, II you
close your eyes you can sSe them - tall,
brown as Indians, gay with that peculiar
tough and impudent gaiety of the new
world, rangy and vital as BELTS sons OF
their great Dominion.
Ghosts, now, all of then-gone to JOIN
the shadows, along with the fair-haired
young Saxons and Bavarians and Brandon
burgers whom they fought so desperately
for temporary possession of that hill.
And you cannot pass them in review be-
fore your minds eye without thinking how
strange it was that dispute born in the
middle of Europe could call all of those
Young Canadians across the Atlantic to
die
What has young rancher in Alberta to
do with the quarrels of close-packed Eu'
rope? What have the endlessly involved
problems of overseas imperialism to dc
with the forests of Quebec, or the streets
of Toronto, orthe mountains of British Co
lumbia, that they should call 10000 boys
away to die?
To ask those questions is to hear the an,
swer; those things have everything to DC
with young Canadians-and young Amer
cans, too, for that matter. For the worlc
has somehow grown small, of late, and one
mans troubles is all mems concerns nova
days. If things go badly on the plains O.
Manchuria, the Louisiana farmer and tn
Montreal shop-keeper will ultimately fee
the effects. No man lives to himself alone
in this modern world. Injustice and stu
pidity are the concern of all men every
where; the fate of mankind is one fate
and none of us can evade his due share.
But even when we have learned tina
lesson, the Vimy Ridge pylons raise ques
ton, What about those $4,000 boys, as IN
dividuals? They were, and now they ar
not; they answered the loyalty and tn
bravery that was, in them and got kule
for it: where are they 'how-and;is itsWel
with them?
For our answer to that, we can only g
to our ancient faiths and to the bilnd an
enduring confidence of our own hearts; TN
confidence which says that the man VIII
gives up his life for gain not his own ma
somehow, in spite of all logic, done wei
for himself. ..'@
The glass is dark and the mystery is pro
found; but we can feel that these fallel
soldiers, like all their kind, deserve OH
homage, our remembranee--bu never,ou
pity!

Use OF BEING GREATER
SUCCESS THAN THAT OF
LAST YEAR

A much more finished produc-
ton of "The Pirates of Pen
zance," being presented here next
Tuesday night at Fort Dillworth,
was predicted this morning by
Mrs. Jennie Vecker, well known
soprano who has just returned to
Key West for a brief vacation.
Mrs. Vecker, who served as
bookholder last year, has been re-
quested to act as prompter at the
performance next Tuesday and
has agreed to assist in this way.
Tuesday night, she attended the
rehearsal and at its conclusion ex-
pressed the belief that the comic
opera will be far superior this
year to the performance last win
ter.
In many different ways the OPP
eretta is being improved upon.
Under the general direction of
George Mills White, the cast has
been rehearsing since before the
first of the year, and as a result
with many members already IA
miliar with the score and theme
of the operetta-the players are
ready to give a much better dra-
matte production than during the
previous presentation.
Members of the chorus have
been practicing the dance routine
for months, and many of them
know it from last season. The
lighting equipment is to be better
than it was, and number of new
costumes, with correct color COM
binations, designed by Mary Louise
Spottswood, have been procured.
Stage scenery has been prepared
by Stanley Wood. state director
of stage crafts in the WPA.
In the final rehearsals, Harry
Adams, a producer and dance d.
rector of many professional shows,
and now director of ballet at the
Miami Playhouse, and Miss Doro-
thy Lynch. state director of drama
in the WPA, will assist in smooth
ing out those parts of the per-
Torrance.
Thirty members of the Miami
Symphony Orchestra, WPA unit,
are coming down the first of the
week to assist in the musical part
of the opera. Their coming was
arranged by DR.. Clarence Carter
Nice, state supervisor of music,
who for four years served as
guest conductor at San Carlos
Opera, and for four years was di-
rector of the Philadelphia Grand
Opera. He also has been persuad-
ed by Mr.. White to serve as guest
conductor at the presentation
/ Tuesday night.
