is with the 18th engineers Company
d, now under fire in France. has writ
ten back to Kansas friends the fol-
lowing verse, which is an invitation
abroad to Billy Sunday:
Billy Sunday here's your chance
To fight the devil in Northern France
Who isn't afraid St militant 1t'f puns suns
The world needs men of the finest sort
Come over and hit the trail, old sport!
Froth at the mouth and work up a rage,
Fighting the sins of the world with speech,
R Mhe no safely ely out Ct the devils reach
Come over and hit the trail, old sport!
Poker and dancing are terrible SINS
One leaves off where the other begins,
And drinking of liquor is equally bad
But think of the luck the Belgians had
Forget the dance and cards and port,
Come over and hit the trail, old sport,
TIL,
