THE MOTHERS RETURN
The Gold Star mothers are coming
home again.
They are leaving the slim green
graves across the sea, where red pop
pies blow in the careless breeze, and
small white crosses keep lonely vigil
They are watching the coast of
France blur into a blue-gray haze,
as the low hills disappear, and the
fishing boats with their colored sails.
grown mellow from many winds and
rains, slip back into the harbor.
Some of the mothers stand on the
deck until the cool wet winds have
blown the darkness everywhere and
a light or two is shining far, far back
where a boat or two goes home.
They have not said goodby to war
riors, though they have kept their
(ryst as soldiers' mothers. They have
made their long farewells to the lit
tle boys they used to know, tousle-
headed, freckle-faced youngsters who
licked the frosting bowl, banged the
door, and liked bread and butter and
jelly.
Sons do not grow up to their moth
ers. Tney are always imie Doys wiin
a cut that needs bandaging or a base
ball that has ripped and must be
mended. Because of this it has made
it all the harder for the Gold Star
mothers to leave the graves behind.
It has been hard for them to visu
alize long lines of marching men.
steel helmets glistening in the sun
swinging down the brave white roads
of France, chanting of a maid in
Armentieres, whistling to keep up
their courage. They are still a little
afraid of those khaki clad men who
stood for the war that took their boys
away.
Not many of the women who made
their pilgrimages to the cemeteries
together knew one another before the
Journey started: Yet there was a
strange understanding among them.
Their memories were so much alike.
Their suffering had blown from the
same hot fields of battle. The star
light that filtered through the trees,
across the graves, brought the same
benediction.
The sound of taps changed to
lullaby strains, from long, long, ago,
to all of them. ,
So they are coming back again,
these mothers whom our government
so generously and graciously sent to
visit the graves of their soldier sons.
They are coming back realizing that
their individual sorrows are only
part of the community of suffering
which all must share. They will not
feel so lonely now, because they
know the mothers of the boys who
sleep in the graves that are scattered
here and there.
The cemeteries will not bestrange
places in Flanders, for they will
know that other boys, Just like their
boys, sleep quietly around as sum
mer slips into autumn and winter
comes again.
They have learned, too, that be
reavement is a world-wide word. The
sympathy and understanding of peo
ple who speak a foreign tongue has
needed no interpreter to assist in its
Flanders grave, and another box of
memories stored away with their
treasures, the Gold Star mothers are
coming home.

LINGLE AND BUCKLEY
Reporter Lingle of Chicago, and
Jerry Buckley, Detroit radio an
nouncer, are dead. They cannot de
fend themselves against charges of
blackmail and extortion such as
gangland knows how to frame.
They both were placed "on the
SDot" by gangland is known. But
their connection if any, with gang-
land 13 an unknown quantity, al
though insinuations creep into the
news that both were gangsters them
selves.
It is a safe bet that the same sort
of insinuations will creep into the
news after every assassination in
which gangland appears to step out
of line. They represent the clever
est kind of propaganda.
Whether these accusations are true
or false, they satisfy a great many
people that nothing very serious has
happened, on the theory that when
racketeer meets racketeer the result
ant obsequies are for the good of so
ciety unless an Innocent bystander in
trudes himself into the line of fire
Reporter and announcer stand ac
cused, not by society but by gang
sters and suspected gangsters. But if
they were guilty, as the whispering
implies, would the situation be bet
ter, would the murders be less rep
rehensible, or would there be less
cause for public alarm?
If gangland has reached a point
where it can put false reformers at
the mike and dishonest reporters in
