Where Is the true mans fatherland?
Is it where he by chance Is born2
Doth not the yearning spirit scorn
In such scant borders 60 be spanned?
Oh yes, his fatherland must be
AS the blue heaven wide and free!
Is it alone where freedom IL,
Where God is God and man Is man?
Doth he not claim broader span
For the souls love OF home than this?
Oh yes! his fatheriand must be
As the blue heaven wide and free!
where'er a human heart doth wear
Joys myrtIe-wreath or sorrows gives.
where'er human spirit strives
After life more true and fair,
There is the true mans birthplace grand.

Where'er a single slave doth pine,
Where'er one may may help another
Thank God for such birthplace, brother
That spot OF earth Is thine and mine!
There is the TINE mans birthplace grand.

 Has Grip on Situation
 secretary Baker has really won derful grip of the military situation. and he has a group of men working with him who are speeding up military preparedness in a way that shows that America is strictly aware that she must strike quick and strike hard; and it is gratifying to note in this plan of adequate military preparedness, that the so-called German Americans at Washington, among them General Kuhn, head of the war college, are among the most earnest and efficient supporters. As matter of fact, in Washington one hears nothing of any thing but Americanism, and partisan ship, so called, is practically fc-Sotten.
