A hymn Of thanks to Thee,
Author of Liberty,
We beg to sing.
List to a Nations lay,
She would her homage pay,
On her Thanksgiving Day,
To Thee, her King.
The light of peace now beams
Upon her lakes and streams
And surging sea;
While every streamlet flows,
And every zephyr blows,
And every visage CLOVIS,
In thanks to Thee.
To Thee, for broad domain,
For peace-and-plenty's reign,
Thanks ever be
Let mounts and meadows ring,
Wales ope' their lips and sing,
Birds soar on high to bring
Our thanks to Thee!
From hearth of Freedoms home,
Like incense to Thy throne,
This prayer doth spring:
Long keep our Nation freel
Long keep her heart on Thee!
Long may Thou only be
Her God and King

More lies have been published about the Chinese trouble than ot all other wars combined.
 "The foreign missionary has had his share in fomenting this trouble and must bear his share of the blame. Some of the missionaries have been politicians as we'll as Christians, and their grasping, selfish attitude has helped to bring about the present condition" So says a returned missionary.
 The foreign ministers are alive, but no one knows their fate if the Allied Forces attack Pekin. The Chimes State Department demands that attacks cease.
 The Allied Forces capture the towns as they go along.
 The government of Uncle Sam is having things it's own way, and is so far getting everything asked of the Chinese government.
 The American ships in Chinese waters under the command of Ad- miral Remey are the Newark, Hell ena, Nashville, Yorktown, Monoc- acy, Oregon, Brooklyn, Castine, Don Juan de Austria, Princeton and Monterey.
 Tientsin is threatened with fam inc.
 The Russian forces thru mistake fired on Americans at Yang Tsung. The Americans had captured the Chinese trenches and were occu- pying them and the Russians did not know it.
 The Allied Forces are within a few days march of Pekin.
 Uncle Sam doesn't want a foot of Chinese soil, hut he does want monetary indemnity to the fami- lies of those who have lost thru Chinese depredations.
