THEY WERE WILLING TO GO.
By Neal Wyne.

 Out from the Woodland shadowy gloom Out from the green shady dell; Down by the river where flowers bloom, Down where the meadow-lark dwell; Away from fields of ripening grain, Where the summer breezes blow; The boys heard the buge call, and came For they were willing 10 go. Out from the whirl of the city streets Way from pleasure and duty; Frcm workshops dingy. where labor meets Or life of light and beauty; Away from mounainsdes grassy plains; stream of young flow, The boys heard the bngle call, and came For they were willing to go. Away from mothers so sadden,
 From home so tender and true; But the hearts bond now are widen, To support theI red white and blue; Loudly couhtriy's s call has sounded To martial music we know The boys heard thel bugle call, and came For they werei Wiling to go. Yet as they go in gladsome mind, With nothing bfrregretfulness, Let not the friends they leave behind Be shrouded in forgetfulness God shield them from all hostile arts And restore them again for I6 The boys heard the| B0gle call, and came For they were willing to go.

HOPE OF EARLY PEACE.

Premier Lloyd George has given psha.tt hat is is pronounced ta be the clear est and most definite outline of the war aims of the Entente Allies, and now well-known authorities express the hope that his effort will do much to bring an early peace.
