Uncle Sam, we hear you calling,
For Justice, Defense and Liberty,
And for humanitys sake,
To fight on land and sea.
And with bands APPLYING,
Meath our grand old flag,
AS our fathers did before us,
In the wars we have had.

So it's up to you and me and every

To stand by the Red, White and Blue.

We will fight for you.

So when war is over
And stories they will tell
OF the brave deeds done in battle,
Their names always dwell.

HAS IMPORTANT
ROLE IN THE WAR
Americas Task Gigantic
Says Congressman Mill
er In London
(special to The Forum.)

London, Oct. 25.-That a ten days
inspection OF the efforts of England
and France to make war had altered
all his views towards the conflict,
was the declaration yesterday Of
Rep. Clarence B. Miller, OF Minne-
sofa, member of the foreign relations
committee of the house.
Il am now convinced" he said,
that the part America must play to
bring the war to a successful issue
is vastly more important than l had
ever imagined. Furthermore, l now
see this is a war of peoples as we'll
as OF armies and this makes 1t all
the more evident that Americas
wealth, resources, and man power
must be given to it.
For the first time in history the
British people are keenly alive to
America and her people. ] believe
that Great Britain and America
have been drawn more closely to-
gether to a better understanding in
the past year than in any time in
history. BY France, the entrance of
America will be remembered with
the same appreciation and in the
same way as the divine inspiration
that moved Joan of Arc to rid France
of her enemies and to bring her new
life.
The part America is to play in
this struggle is, as leading English
men tell me, gigantic and / believe,
as a result, her position among the
nations of the world will be made
still greater"
