THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1919. ae Lest We Forget The Victory Loan is now coming along, and one of the points which will be emphasized in that drive is the fact that the world catastrophe had its root in the selfishness of an individual who wished to dominate the world, and for his self-aggrandise- ment did not hesitate to drench the world in blood. After all the sacrifice, in spite of the million mothers’ sons lying in France and Flanders, and in the depths of the waters of the earth, that spirit of selfishness is not dead, and here in this city only a few nights ago was permitted to raise its ugly head, and this whilst our hearts are still torn, and our imaginations vivid with the pictures of youth, strength, beauty and talent wiped from the world forever. As time goes on, these pictures ef the mind will dim, and perhaps vanish. “Lest we forget,” it is well that Seattle should have a memorial of the splendid dead, and no thinking man or woman in this city will think but the best good enough to remind us of those gone West, maimed and crippled and otherwise inca- pacitated, in order that this world might remain comparatively free. The only question left in one’s mind, after listening to the many speeches made last Satur- day evening in the Metropolitan theatre was the important one, “Are we going to give ourselves a present of a splendid auditorium, long and ardently desired, and admittedly much needed by our city, or are we going to get within measur- able distance of the spirit of the men we wish remembered and honored?” “Gone West.” Sad words that chill owrsouls. Maimed and crippled men. Sadder still; but with this saving grace, that we know our gov- ernment will care for them. , Saddest of all, those retaining all the appear- ance of health and vigor, but as some of us know, just unfit mentally and physically; and with the gradual realization of this unfitness coming home insistently to the boys and men themselves as time goes on and we forget, and they face the in- creasingly exacting’ conditions of ordinary ex- istence. Then to what shall they turn—a temple of marble as beautiful as the brain and hand of man can conceive and create, or to a living, breathing, helping center where they shall meet those of their own understanding kind, who will hold for them hope and material comfort? This is the question which Seattle is asked to decide, and to decide without sufficient thought, and with only perfunctory consultation with those most material-+ ly affected, the enlisted men themselves. The few returned warriors present at the meeting, with soldierly modesty, voiced the de- sire of many of us who realized that the only and proper memorial to valor and sacrifice is ma- terial help for the returning men, such help as they can find in a club designed for them, man- aged by them, and consecrated to their use forever. Shalt we fall below the standard set by the boys themselves, the standard of purest service and love, exemplified by the boy, who as his blood seeped into the earth, and life went with it, looked at the doctor and whispered, “Tend to Jim first, I'm all right”? asia os eal Let us “Tend to Jim first,” and follow the simple suggestion made at the meeting, i. e., that one-third of the funds shall. be devoted to provid- ing a permanent club for sailors, soldiers and marines.
