AFTER ALL
It’s The Little Things In Life That Count.
Little Drops of Water -Little Grains cf Sand-
Little Children’s Laughter, without which the
World would be a dreary place.
Little words and deeds of kindness that make
the great mass of humanity - one.
AND NOW
It’s the little things we save that will help us
WIN THE WAR. Keep the great wheels of
Finance turning and SECURE FREEDOM and
COMFORT for ourselves and children.
THEN
The Youth’s Companion.
In lato years there has probably Pen in the minds of most
of us a vague feeling that Memorial Day would eventually lose,
if not its significance, at least its poignancy, The time is not re-
mote when there will he no more parades, no more camp fires, of
(Land Army men; when, indeed, there will be no longer any vet-
erans of the Civil War It has seemed paobable that with the
passing of the last survivors of the Civil War Memorial Day
would cease to stir emoti in, to bring vivid pictures of a gallant
past, to n use each separate community again to a proud con-
sciousness of the bravery and the self-sacrifice of its sons. No
doubt there would still he patriotic exercises, more and more
thinly attended; no doubt there would he some pious decoration
of graves; hut more and more as the years went on would Memo-
rial Day be likely to decline into a more holiday, from which all
picturesqueness and symbolism had vanished.
Surely, there is now no possibility that the sacred day will
meet with such a fate. It is being hallowed for us afresh by the
bravery and the self-sacrifice of our sons. There are graves of
our gallant dead in France that no hand will ever decorate, be-
cause they must he forever unknown; and there are other graves
of American soldiers overseas that we may trust the Faithful land \
of Lafayette to keep inviolate and green. In this country there
are graves of young soldiers who have perished in the service
who have given their lives to civilization as truly as those who
have fallen on the field of battle; and t.hc-ir graves will not be
forgotten on Memorial Day.
It is in every respect fitting that Memorial Day this year and
henceforth should eommemorate those Americans who died in IS
I the Great War, as well as those who died more than half a cen-IS
J tiny ago for human liberty and the preservation of the Union. g$,
It is to maintain human liberty and the tfnion of the civilized ' ■
peoples of the earth that Americans are dying today. Negro ®
slavery in this country was never, even in its worst instances, to E
be compared for savage inhumanity with the slavery that Bel-1
gians and Serbians and Armenians are enduring today. The!
preservation of the Union was never so yital to the peace and ‘
prosperity yi the world as is the preservation of the Union
against Germany today.
. The Northern Soldier of the Civil War fought a foe who was I
chivalrous and honorable; a foe who respected women and was
Kino to children; a foe with whom, when the war was over, he1
was at once willing to enter into relations of friendship and com-!
radeship, It is a foe of a different; sort that our young American
troops are facing no\v, Brutish, mean and cruel, torturers of I
helpless women and little children, murderers of civilians on land
and sea. our enemies today have nothing in common with those'
Southern farmer lads who fifty-three years ago laid down their
arms and turned again to the plough. It is the triumph or our
naiion that the sons ot those Southern boys are fighting shoulddr
to shoulder with the sons of the North to put dewn what, please
God, shall he the last effort to enslave any part of »ho human
race.
For Memorial Day there is an inspiring future, It will be no
merely American day. In France end England and Italy and
Belgium and Serbia there will be a Memorial Day-even though
it may not fall, like ours, upon the thirtieth of May. Here and
; abroad what pride, what joy and what ennobling sorrow Memo-
rial Dav must brii g in the coming years! In every village and
| town and city the men who have worn the khaki will be mus-
jtered into hnt.; there, too, in line will be the gallant men of the
navies that cleared and kept the seas. There will be detachments
.of American soldiers and sailors marching with the allied veter-
ans in London and Paris and Rome and Brussels and Belgrade-
! there will be French and British and Italion and Belgian and
Serbian detachments marching with our own young ’veterans in ■
'he Memorial Day parades in our great cities. Brothers in arms
from all around the world will meet and march to the music of
the Marseillaise. Who on that day can see these yonng soldiers
as they pass and be unmoved of countenance, unstirred at heart?
who will not see some of them through tears? Who will not*see
