B. ¢ Me C. Beaton) To.the Mothers and Fathers of Seattle: In a little while your boy may be “Somewhere in France.” You won’t know where. You'll only know that somewhere on the firing line, side by side with your neighbor’s boy, he will be fighting on toward the goal that must be reached before the war is done. And here at home you'll wait and pray that he’ll come back, and God grant that he may. And God grant, too, that he’ll come back just as he went away, with shoulders back and head erect, and in his eyes the light that comes into the eyes of those in whom there is no fear that future days or months or years may point to them and say: “He heard and answered not.” i a v" a And while he’s gone, unless you’re brave beyond the strength of human kind, you’!l dream of him, and wake, and in those hours of the day—the darkest— just as morning breaks, you’ll take the hand that soothed his brow in babyhood and hold it tight and wonder how it goes with him and where he is ‘when morning breaks on that same day “Somewhere in France.” ~f- And then, if you have “done your bit” back home, while he is over there, if you have sent across the seas a Red Cross nurse and what she needs, a surgeon to hold back the life that looks down where the valley lies and shadows lurk, there’ll come that light into your eyes and you will know no one can point to you and say: “He heard end answered not.” YOUR BOY’S LIFE IS BETTER THAN HIS MEMORY A Great Spectacular Parade Monday Night Will Bring Home to Every Beholder the True Significance of the Red Cross. ++ +++ +
