/ was waiting at the station,
Where the manhood of nation
The boys in olive drab had come to 60.
Then apart from all the others,
With their sisters, sweethearts,
mothers,
sought the wistful eyes that love
so.
Just kiss as tears were starting,
Then a few last words of parting
From lips that trembled as he whis-
pered low.
Goodbye, Goodbye, my own sweet
heart,
When / am somewhere Ger the sea,
Remember, dear, to write to me,
For I'll be lonesome sometimes
there,
And I'll need news from those WHO
care
You don't know how much it means
dear,
And how it brings the home scenes
near
To have line from sweetheart mine.
80 write 10 me, anu ~ WIlCS "
you, /,
For I'll need news from home and
you"
Oh, we parted, little knowing
Of the place where am going.
We only knew twas somewhere lover
there"
Now he's far across the ocean,
And I'm sending my devotion
In a letter with an address, Just
somewhere in France"
But I'm sure he'll not be failing
A long letter to be mailing;
He said he'd need the news from
those who cared.

Just how long, / cannot say.
Where TIL hear the lannon's roar
And see the mighty human fray
For long, long time.
/ leave on the morrow for my ship
That will carry me away to France.

I'LL do my best and be brave,
For the dear old U S. "A. must not

And the Stars and Stripes in peace
will wave
For a long, long time.
Oh, It's hard indeed to part now,
But Liberty calls upon me
To 60 at once and make the kaiser
bow,
SO our country may be free
For long, long time.
Old times will be an empty dream
Of the days gone by,
When you and / meath the moon

CUNNING
BY Edgar Guest

I'd rather lose than play the cheat,
I'd rather fail than live lie.
I'd rather suffer in defeat
Than fear to meet another's eye.
I'd rather never win prize
Than gain the topmost rung of glory
And know / must myself despise
Until death ends my sorry story.
What if another never knew
That / had tricked my way to fame,
And all unseen my hand could do
The cunning little deeds of shame?
The stolen prize would not be sweet,
In pride could not ever show it;
Men might not know me for a cheat,
But / should ever after know it.
There is no joy in tricky ways.
Who does not justly earn his goal
The price for such victory pays,
For shame shall torture long his soul.
What if / could, by cunning, claim
The. yictor's share Of fame or pelf,
And hide from all the world my
shame!
l could not hide it from myself.
I'd rather fail in every test
Than win success by base deceit;
I'd rather stand upon my best,
Be what it may, than play the cheat.
I'd rather never win mems praise
Nor share the victor's sum of laugh
ter,
Than trade my self-respect for bays,
And hate myself forever after
From the American Boy.
