Sw ift moves the war.
T il one
wonders where it will finally end.
The speech made by our own Presi­
dent on Monday was no milk toast
affair. Had he called for 10 millions
of men for arms to fall in at the
same time and if all the nation re­
sponded as did the men in Nyssa
then by nightfall he wouldst have
had them. But we do hope that
ere that call comes the nation has
gone a long way on the road to pre­
paredness and not again will our
boys, soft in flesh and green In ex­
perience, be called to the superhu­
man task of saving this world again
for free government.
Not again
will the lads be shutted into make­
shift training camps, ill housed and
poorly clad. Taken in summers
heat from the inland to training
camps on the coast, dripping in fog
and chilled with winds blowing in
from the sea. There to contract
pneumonia, lung abcesses, tubercu­
losis and perhaps there to meet
their death. We know. We watched
over them, whole wards of them
and watched them sicken and die.
Martyrs to unpreparedness.
And we read this day how wools
had gone down on the wholesale
market. It does seem that now
there would not be an ounce left
to sell so badly would it be needed
for warm uniforms, bedding and
army equipment. And hides and
pelts, shoes it takes for soldiers on
the march, strong long wearing
shoes of soft and water proof lea­
ther if the feet of the marching
men are to stand the strain. I f it
so be that our own armies wilt not
need them then those of the nations
to which the President announced
the sympathies and gave promise
o f supplies of this country most
surely will. And sugar and corn
and wheat and meat. All that we
have here wilt most surely be need­
ed by the fighting men in Europe
who struggle so desperately to pre­
serve the economic and cultural
scheme as we know it today and
which it has taken centuries to de­
velop out of the cave man stage.
But if this nation is to have war
and provide men then let us also
have universal military service of
all the male strength of the land.
As another told is this past week,
a mother with two sons one almost
of military age, rather a son of
hers killed in battle or even bearing
the honorable scars of war the
rest of his life in a free land than
the slave and under dog of some
foreign conquorer.
There will always be a Bergdoll
and swivel chair officers perhaps
till the millenium ist reached and
man in truth turns his guns into
plowshares but they can be cut
down by compulsory military ser­
vice. We have noticed in these late
years as the boys who fought “ over
there" in the last war have become
men and assumed their places in
the administrative affairs of life
have an inner something that those
who kept aloof are missing and
those same aloofers offer more and
more frequently their puny excuses
for not going as if in their hearts
they know that they have missed
the greatest experience that man
can know. T o follow his flag in
the face of seerlng battle, to carry
on when every one and everything
at iris side is being shattered to bits.
To come out of the flame and to
see the tatters of that flag, the red
and white bars and its field of blue
still aloft. That thrill and that
glory is not given to every man nor
to those of every generation. To
those who have come through such
a hell to the sunny side of the bat­
tlefield that flag and all it stands
for becomes far more precious than
life Itself. It is the smybol for ev­
ery American aspiration and hope
and spiritual ideal. Among those
who have fought for it and followed
it through a mad world’s inferno
of war there is no room for a
Fifth Column as Winchell puts a
ploitical “ thjrd rail" So if we are
to prepare for war then let every
mother's son be entered into the
ranks and learn the glory and the
thrill of self-sacrifice and of con­
sciously proving himself a United
States of American citizen.
We watched them go before, the
boys of the last generation. We
cared for them when they came
home. Ward after ward of them.
The spiritual gain was to every one
of them worth whatever the sacri­
fice. Do not encourage any youth
to be a slacker, rather let him drink
the cup of life to its fill, let him
know the glory of sacrifice the
thrill of a victorious home coming
and the joy in afterlife of having
done his share that the flag of his
nation still flies aloft undipped to
any foreign mad man and his co­
horts.
We speak not as an unknowing
enthusiast. Our own mother has
a gold star and deep in the trunk
lies a flag. A flag, an American
flag, that draped a casket.
But war or no war the world
carrys on. Must in the very nature
of things and sooner or later every
vain glory-inflated dictator finds
that Destiny will take a hand, punc­
ture his wind bag of self-esteem,
deflate his vanity and leave him
to reap the whirlwind and the world
will be at peace and man again
turn hts face to the perfecting spir­
itual ideals and the building anew
of higher and a nobler civic foun­
dation for all men and every na­
tion.
And here in Nyssa we still carry
on even as we will do whatever
eventually befalls us in this world
pandemonium. Our merchants still
serve us with the best that the land
provides and at prices that scare
another town can or will duplicate.
