WHAT WILL YOUR ANSWER BE?

By David A. Brown.

It is only a question of time before the boys who
have gone "over there" will be coming back "over here."
....These boys, who have given of themselves without
stint, who have made every possible kind of a sacrifice
and have done it willingly—yes, gladly.
Upon their return they are going to have a few priv-
ileges not usually, accorded the average man—one of
which will be the right to ask of us who remained behind
a few pertinent questions.
They'll want to know what part you have played
back home in the winning of this war.
They'll want to know how many bonds you have
bought.
They'll want to know how you have responded to
the call of the Red Cross and to th eother numerous
activities that have been standing back of them.
There will be no opportunity for hemming and
hawing.
Reasons why and excuses will be hard to give.
As soldiers, they have been accustomed to standing
erect on their two feet, looking those whom they are
addressing straight in the eye.
You can't ride the fence or pussyfoot with these
men. It has been their habit of life, since entering the
army, to get direct answers to direct questions.
What kind of an answer will you be able to give
them?
Can you look them in the eye and shake them by the
hand and say, "My boy, I, too, have done my duty. I, too,
have made some sacrifices. I, too, have stood ready to
do all things necessary to help win this war."
If you can, all will be well. If you can't, then God
help you.
The utter contempt—the contempt that the soldier
will hold you in will spread through he communiy; and
those who have failed to respond in a manner that cor-
responds to their income and their wealth will be put in
a redlight district of their own. They are not fit for
decent society. They are not fit to associate with decent
people.
There is still an opportunity offered to those who
have as yet failed to do their duty. The campaign now
being put on gives many who have been slackers all
throuhg the war an opoprtunity to make good, so that
when the men come marching home, with bands playing
and crowds cheering, they will be able to stand on the
sidelines, happy and cheering with the crowd, instead of
sneaking into a corner to hide from shame.
