The Evening World, knowing New York, measured the bigness of the event in advance. That is why New York read early yesterday afternoon in The Evening World the first and fullest account of the | homeward voyage of the Twenty-seventh on the Leviathan, complete | lists of the returning officers aboard and columns of first-hand news about the men. Martin Green, staff correspondent of The Evening World, who cabled the first announcement of the sailing of the Twenty-seventh from Brest last week, came over on the Leviathan with the troops.

If they thought about a future which holds no promise of dancing, their faces mir- : rored no reflection of their thoughts.” “The crippled and wounded constitute a problem growing | out of the war. The handling of the problem will require t thought and effort. Our wounded are coming home cheerful | and confident. It is up to those who have not experienced the horrors and hardships and pain of conflict to see that this cheerfulness be not dissipated, this confidence be not weakened, even after the sight of a crippled soldier becomes a commonplace feature of the peaceful life he has guaranteed to his fellow lie: t _ And ) by the encrifice of hi , his bones, his flesh.” | ler, retaining two fives and a ten, ; ; soyrreraeth bio geiaead adhe and thus indicating to the amaze-| {he cashier turned away as though te ‘ Honor to the immortal dead; pride in the living and sound; but, fent of all that {f be tad bes) ee 3 above all, honor, pride, tenderness, consideration and practical help- fulness for the permanently disabled.
