Flanders Fields Poppy and Torch of Lib
erty for War Service Flags
By MISS MOINA MICHAEL, Univenity o( Georgia
Take up our quarrel with the foe; And now the torch and poppy red
To you from falling hands we throw We wear In honor of our dead.
The torch; be yours to hold It high; Fear naught that ye have died for
If ye break faith with us who die naught;
We shall not sleep through popples grow We've learned the lesson that ye taught
In Flanders fields. In Flanders fields.
—Lieut. Col. John McGrae. —Molna Michael.
Out of every great event and for every great cause has come some
fitting memorial. The great American organization of mercy has its red
cross ; the Y. M. C. A. its red triangle. For the boys serving their coun
try on land or sea came the service star flag and pin.
The service flag met the psychological demand during the war, but
now a new need has arisen. Something is needed to keep alive that thrill
which we all feel now for the inspiration and the triumph of the fight
for democracy. The poppy should be the victory flower, and the torch of
liberty the emblem chosen by a grateful world to memorialize the devoted
sacrifice of men who, like the hero author of “In Flanders Fields,” gave
their all to save humanity. Let us keep faith with them.
The number of men who served could be shown by the service star—
of blue if they lived and of gold if they have died—in the upper left-hand
corner; service bars in the lower left-hand corner would tell the length
of time served with the colors. The insignia of the branch of the service
in the upper right-hand corner, and wound stripes—if warranted—in the
lower right corner would make the story complete at a glance.
The Mere Sight of an American Girl
Spells H-O-M-E to the Doughboy
By MARY ROBERTS RINEHART. America Writer
It has been said that the American girl’s work is done abroad, and
that the sooner mother gets her home again the better. In my long tour
I saw a few girls who seemed overtired and nerve-strained. These were
chiefly young women whose work kept them confined closely in offices.
They had not the stimulus of anything social or very interesting. Mostly
they had been for a long time in the little towns where they were first
assigned. They had no chance to see other places or to meet fellow
Americans or mingle in the life of the camps even to the extent of the
canteen workers. These girls should be relieved, either by transfer or
by being sent home. Fresh helpers should replace them.
The canteen and general welfare girls—and I saw hundreds of
them—are not in any more danger of moral or physical breakdown now
than they have been at any time since they went over. And that is neg
ligible. When they are fagged they can rest.
Oh, what a psychological effect a good doughnut can have upon a
doughboy! I have seen homesickness vanish with the first mouthful.
Even when the doughnut is made by the ’prentice hand of a French
peasant woman it performs miracles of cheer. When it is made and prof
fered by an American girl, with an American smile—well, say—words
can’t describe what happens. You have to be there and see it. And it’s
beautiful.
Our boys need the American girl as a tie. The mere sight of her
spells H-O-M-E and the best traditions of America,
