FOURTH or JULY ODE,
Our fathers fought for liberty,
They struggled long and well,
History their deeds can tell
But did they leave Us free?
Are we free from vanity,
Free from pride. and free from self
Free from lofe of power and pelf,
From everything that's beggarly?
Are we free from stubborn will,
From low hate and malice small.
From opinions tyrant thrall?
Are none Of US our own slaves still?
Are we free to speak our thought
To be happy, and be poor.
Free to enter Heavens door
TO live and labor as We ought2
Are we then made free at last
From the fear Of what men say
Free to reverence To-day.
Free from the slavery of the PASTE
our fathers fought for liberty,
They struggled long and well,
History of their deeds can tell
But ourselves must set Us free.

STAND BEHIND OUR
I, FIGHTING MEN

America today is filled with young
men of the country who wear their
country's uniform and who have Of
fered their lives to the service of
their. country. Every city, every
town, every hamlet, every country
community has some of it's boys in
the military uniform of their coun-
try. They are the very flower of our
young manhood.
These are the men who are to 20
to the battle front. How effective
they will be there, how safe they
will be there depends on the sup
port that their country. gives them.
The slower the United States is to
exert it's full power and put an end
to the carnage in Europe the more
of those Americans who are now in
France and those who are to join
them will suffer death\and the great
err number of American homes will
be made desolate.
It is not to be belived that some
national catastrophe, >some calamity
that will be- shameful to US if it
comes from Jack Of preparation or
from our failure to stand behind our
soldiers, must occur to awaken our
people to their duty.
The soldiers of the United States
are standing by their country with a
steady courage and devotion to duty
that should inspire the Nation with
pride and patriotism and loyalty
Some of them now are facing death
for their people, are participating ir
the great battles in Europe to make
the world safe for Democracy, to-in
sure our own safety and to vindicate
| our honor We who remain here ir
peace and safety must surely do ou1
| part.
The Liberty Loan of 1917 was au
thorized for the purpose of, and its
proceeds are being spent in arming
