DURING YEAR
.\ R ESIDENT of Cottage (Trove, alter a hurd
d a y ’s work, and while the family had gone nut
_____
lot an eveninif’M plcawire, sat down in h com*
fortahle rockitiK chair to read his paper and
dropped off into a fitful aluntlier.
As he slept he heard a bugle call. The clarion note»
compelled him to go outdoors to learn why the call was
given.
There lie saw klutki-elad hoys and young men
rushing alu.nt obeying thi’ o r d e r s ot a commanding ofli*
e*i
lie reeogni/.ed (hem as the Cottage (Trove hoys who
had volunteered In nerve their country in the war with
(Termany. They were gathering their accouterments of
war together preparatory lo answering some hurried call
from the government, lie was not the only spectator.
.Mothers and fathers, wives and children, sisters and
brother» of the kltaki clad l*oya and men were there.
Tears came to the eyes ol those who realised as never
before that loved ones were going to the great war, per
haps never lo return. The pride they felt to know that
a son, a (notlo t, a father or a husband had answered his
country's call eould not hid«’ the grief of the sudden
parting.
Presently all preparations were complete and to the
Inal of the drum the boys swung into line and marched
dottble-ipiick lo the stulion. Fathers grasp!’«I the hands
of 'brav«’ sous while mothers elutehed them to thi’ir
breasts; husbands caught in their arms the wives thi-y
might sc«- no more uiul kisse<l the ruby lips of curly-
luuileil ha lies who «ltd not realize that pa pa might never
«•nine baek to romp with them again. Soon the «-iiginc
whistled ami the train was on its way, the men waving
khaki-clad tit ins through the wimlows to tin- sorrowing
ones who stood rooted to tin* spot wlo-rc hut a tVw mu.
incuts iM’forc they had felt the warm embrace of loved
oim ’ s now speciliiig out of hearing «»f the ch«*eis given in
their honor,
li,\ some inexplicable phenomena the dreaniiug on«-
«¡is carried with the train and, apparently unnoticed l.v
I nclc Sam s soldier boys, tollowe«! them to the embarking
point and seerete«l himself on the boat that carried the
troops to Europe. As the American hoys tlisemhai kc<l,
lit«' che«’is that greeted lh«* hearera of the Stars ami
Stripes were «leafi’tiing. With old (¡lory and lit«’ tri
color of France carried side l»y aide, the soldier hoys
mat flii il to «putt iers that had been provided for them,
hut in what si'emeil hut a few moments of time th«-y were
onlereil to the front to assist in taking a strong position
necessary to the security of lh«’ allied arms in an ad
vanced position. The «livuming one Kccur«‘«i a place id'
vantage on a high hill ami watched th<* terrible conflict,
lie swe||e«| with pride as he saw the Stats ami Stripes
swing into action, llts blood tingled as he saw the best
ol the blood amt brawn <d' America swing into «louble-
• piick. See thoMf fine specimens of matthooil, see thus«'
fi-i-t of a million men move as one
lli-ar those cheers
from a million French and liiitish as tiny see Old (¡lory
coming up the slope. Shot and shell rend the air. (ireat
cannons boon« as if announcing the coming of the jmig-
mciit day. ( 'lomls ot| earth are thrown high in the air
as shells hurst about tlm advancing khaki-elad host, l.ut
as one man they march straight ahead. Can nothing
stop them? Do they not know they are matching into
t lu- jaws of death? Why «1«. not the officers give the
<»nlcr to halt? N o ! Straight on they inarch! A million
French ami English, stirred to a frenzy by tin* pr«.settee
of their new ally, join in the forward movement. What
a sight ! It seems a great sea of moving human beings.
Every few moments a great shell hursts ami tears a hoi«’
in this moving sea of melt, l.ut more men flow into the
opening and on they go. (¡real guns are belching in the
rear and throwing up «lift ami t i«•«•«, concrete and debris
ol' every kind only a few f«*et ahead of this marching mass
of mi’ll. Carrie«! with iii«* dirt and debris are human
forma of the enemy's woumleit left behind or of those
left to guard tit«’ trenches ami protect the retreat of the
enemy. Th«’ thunder of the great guns is awful, (¡reat
tongues of fire belching forth with methodical precision
ami th«' Kim II of powder nta«le it seem lik«* an inferno.
At the eh«»«1 of tin1 «lay the firing c«‘as«’s ami tli«>
smoke clears away. A great hurrah rends the air and
s«*eiirely entrenched in what the enemy that imu-mug
thought an impregnable position are the armies of Amer
ica, France and Britain. The psychological effect the ap-
piaram'«' o f I'nele Sant's soldier boys had had upon the
allied aiinii’s had transform«'«! them into an irresistible
force. Ami th«’ dreaming one, although he could not It«’
h«*ar«l, joined in llie gla«l hurrahs., lie hurrahed until
It is voice was hoarse.
Suddenly there appear«’«! b«‘ fore him a white-gowned
st ranger.
“ Why <lo you hurrah?” the stranger ask«>«l.
“ Ih'caus«’ the Americans have won the «lay,” was the
reply.
“ Where nr«’ you from?” the stranger asked.
“ I'm from Cottage Grove, ami 1 saw Sixtli eoitipany
in the front ot the battle today. Why shouldn’t I hurrah
when lit«’ greatest battle in the history of the war was !«•«!
by the boys ami men front my own oitvT”
‘ ‘ Come with me,” was all the stranger said.
Fnnble to r«‘sist. th«' «Itearning one followed ami was
guiih'd over the route taken by the victorious army.
Seatlered ¡ill along the way were the luxlies of the «lea«l
ami «lying. One the dreaming one recognized as a boy
whom he lunl seen a mother strain t<* her breast Another
lie reeogtiizi'd as the father he had s«>ett kiss a cooing halt«'
good bye. Another, not yet dead, raised up on his arm
ami pleaded with the dreaming one to bring a drink of
water ami stop the wound from which his lifi’-hlood was
slowly ehhing.
“ Why is no one earing for these «lying?” the «Ireatti-
ing one demanded. “ Why are th«‘se Inave hoys front
my eitv left to «lie n«*edloasly on the fielil of battle? Are
tlicy to be treated like «logs as the reward for their dis
play of patriotism?”
The white-robc«i stranger turtle«! his eyes slowly upon
th«* angry one. " W e trie«! to get care for them,” he said.
" W e appealed for funds for the Red Cross hut so many
Inih’d to respond that the work cannot lx1 properly ear-
tied on ami many thousands of these brave hoys must «lie
nee«ll«'sslv because o f those nt home in comfort who faihxl
to subscribe their proportion to th«* great relief work.
