THE RAINBOW
The story of the destruction of the British warship Rainbow is
a good one. Before the close ot the war we might expect many more
of them but after a little taste ot that kind ot stutt people will begin
to get more careful. Even the sensational corrosjiondcnts will, let
us hope, learn that such faked reports will only injure their busi
ness instead of helping it.
All of us here felt more or less personally interested in that
Rainbow as it w as only a short time previously we were reading
about efforts to subdue a shipload of Hindus. After that experi
ence she rather gained dignity in our eyes by getting sunk by a
German man-of-war but now she comes up smiling and convoying
a sloop. At the other side of the continent the Canadians fired at
a steamboat that is probably in the same fighting class as the Pora
and made her show her,papers. Will that war never get real dig
nity at this end of it?
What a picture the dispatches suggest totheimmagination when
they tell us that the sun was shining brilliantly while the men ot
Germany. France and Belgium were letting each others’ blood yes
terday on the smiling Belgian plains.
Maybe that fighting is going on now this atternoon again and
that same sun is probably shining down. And when the sun shines
on Belgium and France it lights up the loveliest scenes on earth
usually.
Belgium is a country of industrious, small farmers outside of the
populations of the cities.
The plains are level and tertile. Great white, level roads cross
them ami these roads are l>ordered with trees. Lvery tew hundred
feet or yards there is a pleasant cottage or a pretty residence of the
more wealthy. The meadows are green and the gardens are just
blooming. The villages with their Flemish style of architecture are
like groups of beautiful toys set in the landscape. Inside of every
cottage is perfect cleanliness and purity and outside is whiteness of
wall, flowers, gabled windows and red-tiled roofs. And by them in
many places run canals with flowered, grassy banks. And the green
grass and flowers crowd down to the water’s edge on the banks of
the Meuse, the “lazy Scheldt” and even to the water of the sea
around beautiful Ostend.
But now over that landscape are the forms of mutilated men
whose eyes are staring in death. Forms are crawling through the
grass and drawing trails of their own blood as they try to get away,
even while dying, from the shrieking shells.
In the “Stories of Sebastopol lolstoyktold ot young, brilliant
officers who shone in the drawing rooms one night in their uniforms
and the next night were shrieking to heaven in the trenches while
their hands were trying to press back their protruding entrails.
Just imagine a sunlit battlefield that smells of everything but
flowers and meadows. That sun must look like the mocking of the
demons.
