FORGET IRELAND!


(Suggested by Irish Standard Editorial on above)
Forget you Ireland, base the tongue
That phrased this declaration,
Forget the land from which sprung,
And youthful aspiration.
Forget the colleens young and fair,
The old familiar places,
The crossroad dances over there,
The fox hunt and the races;
Forget the good athletic sports,
The football and the hurting,
Enjoyment of the handball courts
With all the tricks of twirling,
Forget those days, those youthful days,
When heart light and airy,
And attempted writing lays
To my little sweetheart-Mary;
Those memories will never fade,
No circumstance can smother
Or cast into oblivion's shade
The thoughts of home and mother
For when to exile was forced
And saw my mother greving
So down her cheeks the tear-drops coursed
The morning was leaving,
And then vowed without a clause
Or qualifying statement,
That would work in Erin's cause,
Twas then knew what hate meant.
l hated the tyrannic laws
That caused this separation,
l cursed the authors and the
OF Irish emigration;
But though the curse may retract
AS being rashly spoken,
My VOW in Erins to act
Till death, remains unbroken,
But now you say to Uncle Sam
owe my first allegiance,
He has it with loyal heart
And dutiful obedience
The love the Blessed Virgin won
1ntensifies the greater
Our love for her beloved Son.
.4ts Our Saviour and GreataE,: q <......--.
So whilst love the motherland
With ilial devotion,
Columbia has my heart and hand
Whilst capable of motion;
And with grateful Irish heart,
Although my hair is hoary,
For Uncle Sam I'll do my part
To keep aloft Old Glory;
But though to serve at his command
/ freely shall endeavor,
The memories of my Native Land
Remain with me for ever.

merous injuries. Two objectors to
the draft have been killed and

heed a posses warning to halt.
Development of the causes of the
outbreak and of the forces behind it,

quired the entire line. Here they
set up machine guns in buildings
and cellars. No counter attacks fol-
lowed from the Germans and this
