September 4. 1937.
Today recalls sad memories
Of a loved one gone to rest.
And those who think of you today
Are the ones who loved you best.
Some think T am not lonely
When at times they see me smile;
Little do thev know the heartache
That I suffer all the while.
We think of you in silence.
No one ran see us ween;
But silent tears are shed
When others are asleep.
HIS LOVING MOTHER.
Peaceful be thy sleep, dear brother.
It. is sweet, to breath* thy name:
In life we loved you dearly
In death we do the same.
Oft we think of you. dear brother.
And our hearts are sad with pain:
Oh. this would be a heaven
Could we hear your voice again.
You are rone, but not forgotten—
Never shall your memory fade:
Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger
Around the grave where you are laid.
CLARA AND BILLY.
In m.v heart your memory lingers.
You were loving, kind and true;
There is not. a day that, passes
That I do not think of you.
We cannot hear your loving voice.
; Your smiles we cannot see;
But this little token shows
We fttlU remember thee.

Twenty soldiers from Fort Brady,

Dffice there is one car. belonging to 1
i news photographer, with a radio.
Ml the press gathers around and
rears the voice of the Prime Min-i
.ster announcing the momentous
iecision to the world. The police
lather around also.
Back in Downing street again,
rhen suddenly come sharp, inter
mittent blasts on whistles from all |
sides, warning of an air raid. The
solice are as much astounded as
inybody. Has Hitler actually struck
so soon?
No words can adequately describe
he orderliness of that crowd, 1,000
men and women gathered in a short,
pne-way street, in the face of the
threatening danger. We all go quiet
y, reporters and photographers as
veil as the merely curious onlook
>rs, as the police direct us through
i narrow gate to the nearest air
•aid shelter. There is absolutely no
rushing or pushing. We cross a
muddy field beside St. James Park
Dnlv a few in the crowd has gas
masks.
Poise Kept in Shelter.
There are soldiers and air raid
vardens in tall rubber boots awaiting
is. Their smiling calmness accent
lates the unbelieveable calmness of
:he crowd. Without tfie slightest
iisorder. 1,000 men, women and
children are ushered into concrete
ined tunnels. The system works to
perfection. A seat is provided for
;verv woman.
‘‘We have every reason to believe
it is a real raid,” says a warden. "I
rave absolutely no intimation other
wise.” It is five minutes later before
ne announces that we can all go out
igain. "Just a practice warning,” he
says, but it is 10 minutes before the
long, uninterrupted blasts on the
whistles conveys the "All clear” sig
nal. If only Hitler could have seen
now that crowd behaved!
We stand before the House of
Commons. Cabinet members arrive
a few at a time and are mildly
cheered. Sir Samuel Hoare enters
with a lady carrying her gas mask.
A woman member enters clad in a
blue uniform with a silver insignia
on her cap.
Worship Uninterrupted.
We cross the street to Westminster
Abbey. A single black-robed clergy
man is doing something about the
altar. It is a place of infinite peace.
The altar is covered with a red-and
gold altar cloth. Over it is a paint
ing of the last supper in white
and red.
"There was a communion service
in progress." says the clergyman.
“It was not interrupted by the
alarm. The persons taking com
munion were a little annoyed." He
smiles. "Maybe they thought God
could not hear them for the noise.”
An old woman is kneeling by the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier,
heaped high with wreaths from the
President of France, from French
veterans and Belgian veterans. For
days there have been continuous
prayers for peace there.
We walk down the Mall to Buck
ingham Palace, a broad avenue of
lime trees. Cold, silent and de
serted stands the yellowish German
Embassy. There is a chow dog on
the Embassy steps.
“Yes.” says a policeman, “it is
Von Ribbentrop's dog.” He pats its
head. It is a gentle, friendly old
dog. quite unaware of his new re
sponsibility as representative of the
Third Reich.
