FOOD FOR THE EAGLE Boy A LIBERy N BOND AN WATCH xn I have seen men march to the wars, and then I have watched their homeward tread, And they brought back bodies of living men, But their eyes were cold and dead. ‘0, Buddy, no matter what else the fame, No matter what else the prize, I want you to come back thru the Flame With the boy-look still in your eyes! —F'rom Edmund Vance Cooke's Alas! it may not be. It is one of the awful things of war that it may not be. The boy-look is the sequel of mother’s cradle song. It has developed from the peace and comfort of the fireside circle, the bully games of ball with the other lads, the swims in the creek, the fun on the way to and from school, the rough, wild pranks of youth that were of harmless intent. It is inex- perience leaning upon the confidence that all in the world is bright, young, joyful. The boy who plunges his bayonet into the breast of a fellow boy, witnesses the blood spurt, hears the yasps, and finally stands victor over a corpse, never again is a boy. The boy who goes thru the long rows of cots, where big, strong men cry for mother in their despair and fight with hopeless contortions against the cold hands of Death is older than any boy could be. The boy who has gone thru the hellish roaring of The Flame comes not back with the boy-look in his eyes but with the serious look of having beheld all that earth can show, the hardened look of unforgettable experience, the look that tells the subconscious mind ; full of ever-living tragedy. He may be more of 1 man, stronger, abler to meet life’s duties and exactions, but war has taken all his boyishness, and there is no fame or prize of war that can take its place. Saturday you saw boy after boy in line as they marched before the reviewing stand at the Washington hotel. When they come back from “over there” the boy-look will be gone. It will be part of their sacrifice. If only we at home could TODAY realize how great a sacrifice that will be! “The Boy-Look.” or BiRdD marx ALIVE ] @__Zarreatie \VAST MENACE STILL EXISTS ON WEST LINE | WASHINGTON, April §.—Military experts saw in the western situation today A Vast menace despite the fact | that the Teutons’ attack is less bie. | ‘The German spent itself, raid the war summary | ‘and owing to the offensive has not | published today determination placed by the enemy to gain some sort of success at no matter what cost, the situation continue unchanged for some time to co!
