I visited a home where a service
flag hangs; and while we ate we
talked of the boy who la over there.
"I wonder If he Is cold tonight,"
the mother said, "I wonder If he has
a place to warm himself and dry his
clothes; and something good to eat."
"What wouldn't I glva to tie with
him," she said and we were silent,
knowing her heart.
But I thought of the soldiers ot
friendliness what that very night
would crawr out across No Man's
Land to take chocolate and hot cof
fee to that boy.
Of the huts with their warm fires
burning; ot the great lecturers snd
preachers and actors and motion pic
tures that are over there.
And I thought to myself; "There
Is a difference between this and every
other war. For when the boys have
marched away before, the influence
of their homes has stopped at the
front gate and could go no farther.
But In this war It follows the flag,
across the ocean, over the ahell torn
battle land, straight up to the froift
line trenches.
Home Is where the boy Is In this
wsr. From every town and village
the linos of helpfulness, run out.
And no boy leaves his home be
hind him: step by steo It travels
with him, financed by the folks be
hind him a token' ot their love.
DONE THE. ARMENIANS
London, Nov. 9. The British gov
ernment is determined that the
wrongs suffered by the Armontana
at the hands of the Turks shall be
righted and their recurrence made
Impossible writes 'Lord Robert Cecil,

Bryce.
Four points mentioned by Lord
Cecil as the charter of the Armen
ians' right to liberation at hands of
the allies, are: ''
"The refusal of the Armenians as
a nation in the fall of 1914 to work
for the cause of Turkey and her al
lies, although offers of autonomy
were made It they actively assisted
Turkey In the war.
"Partly on account ot this cour
ageous refusal, the Ottoman Armen
ians were systematically murdered
by the Turkish gvernment In 1915,
two thirds of the population being
exterminated by most
coldblooded
and fiendish methods 700,000' men
women and children being killed.
"From the beginning ot the war
that half ot the Armenian nation un
der Russian sovereignty' organized
volunteer corps and bore the
brunt of some or the heaviest fight
ing In Caucasia under their leader
Andranlk. ' ' '"
"These same Armenian corps af
ter the Russian breakdown took over
the Caucasian front and tor five
months hold up the Turkish advance
and thus rendered Important service
to the British In Mesopotamia."
Lord Robert Cecil adds that Ar
menians are still fighting In Syria
and have been taking part in the
Palestine campaign.
