AMERICAS RESPONSE TO THE CALL TO AIMS.

VXTHAr is going on in the homes Of America in the |

The President and the administration officials and the

BY BERTON BRALEY.

The Man with the Grin may win, per,

But out Of bunch Of likely chaps
The one I'm picking to make his
mark
To lead the others and set the pace
Is the keen-eyed lad with the lighting

For the smile may help and the grin
may aid,
But it's grit and labor and brains

And the hard rough way that the game
is played
It takes struggle and night 10 mount,
So the Lords Of Destiny make place
For the keen-eyed chap with the
lighting face.
He needn't be grim and he may he gay,
But he never must quit while the
game Is on.
He must learn TO stick in the worlcly
fray
When loss seems certain and hope is
gone,
And the fellow who plays that part
with grace
Is the keen-eyed chap with the fight
ing face.
So smile your warmest, but grit your
teeth
And fight your hardest when lights
