It was w ar—tw entieth century w ar—In the process of de stroying for all tim e the somnolent pence of a world th a t has drow ned for ages In eastern dreu.’v s. T he A rabs— children ot the d«-*ert and Inheritors of noiseless ease and ancleut m ethods—s a y : ‘T h e B ritish cam e with the sm oke." But It was the other way round. T he smoke came with the British, and It rolls today In black spirals of Industrial abom tualioa —from worksbopa Innum erable, from electric power plants, from many steam boats and from tall chimney» and funnels of every kluff all round the horizon. And with the B ritish came also the loud m urm ur and the clatter and clank of toll, the shrill shriek ot the locomotive and the honk of the horn of the motor. T he A rabs say also: "Leisure Is God- given and haste la of the evil one.” They never worked before In all their lives, hut they are w orking now, and they are working w ith a rapidity and rheerfnlness which denote much with regard to the rew ard they get and the ch aracter of the discipline they are under. But the scene on the am azing river hank looketT to me like the utm ost In dlsorderllnesa and confusion. Docks and w harves were llred w ith ships and crowded w ith men and women— coolies—working ant fashion, coming and going In endless lines, currying on heads and beut hacks boxes and bales of m aterials and m aterials and ma terials. Acres of low sheds stretching aw ay Into the fringes of the palm groves; miles of closely tented open space seen hazily through clouds of d u s t; pyram ids of hay and smoked grain under light green .a n v a s; mule wagons, m otor lorries, ^am m unition carts, am bulances, an artillery convoy getting under way out across a baked gray w aste In the distance; autom o biles hurrying hither and th ith e r; offl cera on handsom e horses moving slow ly here and th e re ; a long line of di m inutive donkeys tricked out In bright ly ornam ental pack saddles and with Jingling hnlters and strings of blue heads round their necks; a longer line of am bling, m unching, disdainful nosed cam els on the way down to the adjoining dock, w here they w ere being sw ung up one by one. like so many bales of hay. and deposited In the hold 9 f a big gray ship; It was a scene to hold the new-comer's attention and to m ake the tim e pass sw iftly. . l 4 !*• 'if;« '.r.> fv L * .. ‘ H.

I’va w atched you through ocean m ists and dream ed ii a l o i u dream«. Ye«, and cried a little, too, but not when people could aee. ] And now you're com ing home. Oh, It ««era« too good to be true. I’ve Just read your lettar« again. They aay aa much mora than you ever thought when you w ere w riting them. J u s t happening»—th at'a all moat of tha things you w rote about w ere to you. But ta me they said you w ere facing the biggest thing In life, facing It bravely, aa I should w ant my aon to face IL You were offering your body and your «oul for a thing bigger than you or me or America. W hen I w rote to you I tried ta w rite cheerful, encouraging left era, because I did not w ant you to go Into battle feeling that I was holding you back from the big sacrifice. It's only now, when the fighting la over, th a t I ran let down a little and be ju st jo u ^ m other, Juat tjis wom an who love* you b etter than anything else In tha world and Is so glad to know you 'ra coming hack to her th a t she doesn’t care who aeea her cry. Perhapa for some of th e boy» w hs have stood with you so finely through these trials the fighting la not yet all. over. The fighting I m ean Is th at bo-J tw een a man and him self, and for many of them thla will be the h a rd e s t battle of alL D uring tha long d a js ahd evening* of w aiting before they! can s ta rt for home thoughta will creep!

I ilo n l ask you to crush «hem. They ere nat-! ural, and they only prove th at w ar ha* failed to dry up the well spring o f your em otions.

Many of the hoys who will come home w ith you have do toothers to w rite to them. Some of them m ay think th at no one cares w hat they do. But somebody does csre. Am erica cares. And the girls they will m arry, some day care. And, oh, the dlfferenca It will m ake in their Uvea If they wtH Juat rem em ber th at there is alw ays somebody, alw ays! H elp them to rem em ber.

If they have no m others let me be th eir m other until they have come back and taken the high places th at aw ait them here. Tell them to w rite to me. How 1 should treasu re tl.cir letters!
