"War' tends to crlpplo exports because It

The woman's hair was snowy white nnd
she clung tremblingly to the gaunt man
who patted her hand Beside them was a
youth of IS, who tried bard not to show
tho emotion he felt, and a little girl who
cried openly. Few of the hundreds who
gathered today In the West Philadelphia
station to bid farewell to the recruits
entraining for Mount Gretna observed tho
little group.
There was something curious In tho nun
net in which the woman softly stroked the
boy's face, something btrangc In the way
the man let lift' hand caiess the shoulder
of the young recruit But no one paid
nttentlon
The train btopped young men, eager
and alert, spiang lightly up the steps and
found seats Men and women and children
pressed forward for n parting handclasp
from the car window. The man's hand had
found that of the boy; the woman was
smoothing his hair The youth kissed both
the man and tho woman and tho little girl,
who was crying as If her heart Here break
ing lie went Into the car and found a beat
by an open w'lndow
Tho man and tho woman seemed to find
It difficult to reach tho window from which
the boy leaned with both hands extended
The little girl tugged at their hands. The
boy was calling Flnaly they rtached him
The other .pectator3 near the scene knew
from tho clasped hands nnd the endearing
words that tho boy was artlng from his
fathr nnd mother and sister They learned,
aljo, that bo was the only son They sensed
In a ague way that there was more of
tiagedy in the parting than they could pos
sibly know. There was nn expression in the
boy's ejes that told this a3 he permitted
them to rtroko his hands,
The shrill pipe of the air whistle an
nounced the moment for parting Men nnd
nomen clamboied forward for a last greet
ing Handkerchiefs fluttered from the end
of the platform Women were softly weep
ing Kveryuhcre there were noise and
confusion, except at one point.
Tho boy leaned fnr from tho window and
pressed n k'ss on tho brow of his mothei
lie was biting his Up to keep back the tears
His lathtr prebsed his hand Ills mother
clung to tho other Slowly the train be-
gan to glldo away Gently but remorse
lessly It drew the boy's hands out of the
hands., of his mother and father. They
stood quietly, the mother crying, the father
patting her hand
A handkerchief fluttered from the train
window.
"He Is waNing at us," said the girl.
Tha mother looked toward the departing
train and waved a very wet little handker
chief The father waved his hand, man
fashion The girl had a flag.
Gradually gathering momentum the train
was moing awuy Tho fluttering speck of
white still waed from the window- The
father's hand dropped to the shoulder of
the mother The mother's handkeichlef
was pressed against her face. Only the girl
knew
"Wave. oh. wave again," she cried, "he's
still waving at us."
And then the spectators knew.
The father and mother weie both blind.
Last night Peter Darlington and his wife,
Ellxabeth, talked oer the question of the
enlistment of their son George, at the little
home at 3831 Melon street The boy Is only
18. He wanted to go. He felt that he was
needed But h could not leave his parents
He had been a irember of the Boy Scouts
nnd when tho call was made for volunteers
ue told his parents of his desire to join the
colors.
A REAL SACRIFICE. -
This morning they accompanied their son
to the 6th Heglment Armory, list street and
Mantua avenue. Captain Hoe held their
hands as they signed the papers which gavo
their son to Uncle Sam
Mi Darlington has been blind for more
than 35 jenrs His wife became blind when
n child The man supports his fnmlly by
distributing papers Ills 12- ear-old daugh
ter Eleanor guides him along his route.
Mr Darlington raid he had no objection
to his son's nction
"Hs is needed," he said "It Is his duty
to serve his country I should be a poor
father Indeed if I were to stand In the way.
He does not leave us unprovided for If I
loved him less I would have refused."
Mis Darlington agrees with her husband
"I hate to have him leave us," she said,
"but I am proud of him for fearlessly facing
his duty."
