THE LITTLE DREAMS
THAT DIE IN WAR.
"Chicago Frenchmen Off lo the War
Today.” "Twelve Thousand Hoek Pass
age to War Scene," "Tho Thousand Aus
trians Heady.” These and many other
newspaper headlines about reservists call
attention to the little dreams that die In
war’s fierce atmosphere, says the Chi
cago Herald, the long-held, se'Yet hopes
that the blasted by the deadly fires of
conflict.
These reservists who are hastening
hack at their country’s call—Germans,
Austrians, Frenchmen, Englishmen—was
this the return they had dreamed of? Was
it with the Idea of going hack to their
native lands to play a part In the trt--
rlble tragedy of wsr that they came to
this country, with all Its gloden oppor
tunities?
No. Most of them came with joyous
hearts either to make a home here or to
return at last to the fatherland with the
fruits of peace and honest labor. Most
of them bad thought to take some
Grechen or Marie or Joan by the hand,
after the yesrs of wsltlng and struggle,
to make a little hearth and home against
old age.
Heretofore ws have thought and talk
ed chiefly of the larger aspects of the
great conflict, of the vast empires that
arm, of the millions that march with
measured step to the fray, of kings and l
rulsvs and the great, men of the reath
of the great conflicts by sea and land
that bid fair to recast the map of Eu
rope and the world.
Hut more poignant In appeal to the
iari heart, more close to tears than
even the thought of the wreck of great
empires Is the thought of the millions
of humble folk who must put aside the
little dreams that were all the world to
them, the little cherished plana furthered
try patient, thrift and waiting, that gi eat
kings miv deride their quarrel*
In the mazes of this thought tho kings
and empires arid great things fade, arid
one sees only the Freneh peasant who
lias saved sr,d saved, the German peas
ant who has worked and welted, the
Russian peasant who tula suffered and
suffered, compelled to submit with dumb,
patient eyes and hopeless heart ae the I
