TEN MILLION WEEP FOR James Douglas has written in the Loudon Daily News one of the most moving articles which yet have ap- peared about the war. In a won- derful net of words he has captured for all time something of the spirit of Me world's motherhood when it sees its pons going down to death in war, "In 'the immeasurable anguish of the war there iz a nation without a name, without a language, without a ruler, without frontiers," he writes "Its territory is not marked upon any map. It "is a secret natien which is bound together by invisible ties, *"This nation dwells in all the lands that are being ploughed by the sword. It is the nation of mothers. "The equality - of motherhood the same in every race. The {ull tragedy of the war can only be gras- ped by those who see the nation of mothers, hidden within the warring nations, and who feel the beat of all those aching hearts. There are at this moment millions of mothers suffering the same silent agony. No census can compute the precise num- ber of mothers who are carrying a ceaseless pang in their breasts. But if we try to imagine the sum total df pain involved In the vigil of ten mii- lion mothers, then we are by way of comprehending the dreadful magni- tude of the calamity which has vis- ited the human race. "Ten million mothers weeping, like Rachel, for their children! What an ocean of tears! And each tear is the same salt sorrow, wheth- er it be shed in Warsaw or Munich, Cracow . of Cologne, Bruges or Amiens, Adras, or Ely, Iondon or Louvain. The grief of motnarhood is a thing apart. It is outside the causes of war, the quarrels of races, the pride of empires. It is an older apd more durable passion than any of the motives which send bravé men into battle. States rise and fall, em- pires come and go, but through all the vicissitudes of governing machinery the nation of mothers re- | undestroyed and inde- structible.. And when all the human links between nations are broken this Hols Holda<-fast-- between the mothers of the young soldiers who are slaying each other there is the link of a common love. mains The Link That Holds, "I is well for the world that this last link holds when all the other links have snapped in the storm of war. The {ink of brotherhood is too first to go, and men with relue- tant violence teach themselves to hate fellow-creatures whom they have never seen. This hate is an artificial passion, and it is not easy to keep it fed with the food upon which it lives. One of the myster es of war 18 the undoubted fact that coldiers are not nearly as good hat- ers as elvilienis.

"Through the smoke cf burning cities we cam descry the sweet, sad face of the eternal mother--yearning over a thousand battlefields, search- ing the trepohes with patient tender- ness for the beloved face, laying a reverent hand on the graves of the unknown and unnumbered dead, and shedding over all the wild cheas of carnage a hallowed radiance of un- dying devotion, Highest Form of All Love.

It ¥ in its supreme form utterly selfishness. It is proof against imgratitude, against cruelty against all the evils which are fatal to all er kinds of love, Where- fore,' w a country asks a mother to give her son to its zervice, it asks for something that "is dearer than lite itself. © Thefe are few mothers who would not prefer to give their own lifé father than the life of the son they bore. Greater love has no man than the love of the mother who gives her son's life to her coun- try. "And this mother-love is above all the conventions and distinctions of class, rank, and caste. All mothers are equal in sacrifice, The poor mother in the town slum or the ru- ral hamlet gives 'her all when she gives her son to the army, and the greatest lady, in the land gives no less and no' more. The mothers in this ordeal are drawn together. They are made one by suffering and self- abnegation, They are a great silent sodHtly' of voluntary sorrow. Our new army owes more than can ever be guessed to the simple heroism of motheriidod. These young men who march in long columns throughout London streets are tied to their mother's heartstrings. How many of them could or would have answer- the grest call if their mothers bad held them back? It is their country that cries 'Come'. but i is their mothers who cry 'Go!'

"And. yet these British mothers do not flinch or falter. They say their farewells with fearless smiles and a plain courage that simulates indifference.
