honest service and lives every day and
buy bonds too"
This shows what the soldier boys
over there are doing. Buying bonds,

they might pay FOR them. 50 that they
might be properly equipped. They real

Home Is Nothing Like This"

The British government plans t.
hold the Holy Land-a home for the
Jews. The administration at Wash
ington is reported to have given an in
formal assent to the plan. 1t is good
idea one that the Zionists have had in
mind for long time and which they
have thought 20 accomplish through
diplomatic means, perhaps by pur-
chase. Bat it is by no means certain
that the Jews will respond. The
Zionist movement has never had the
undivided support of the Hebrew race
In fact. the movement back home
carries no special appeal to Jews who
live in countries where liberal institu
tons prevail and where there is OPP
portunity for advancement Nor are
the Jews alone in this. The Irish in
America, for instance, have never
shown any o~erweening desire TO 20
back to the Little Green Isle. They
have tried to get Home Rule. to be
sure; but they are we'll satisfied to
stay here. So, we think, it will he
with the Jews. The war is bound 10
bring large ameIiorations to the Jew
ish as to every other race held in sub
jugation: and while Palestine will at
tract some of them, the great majority
will stay where they are.

We're In The Army Now

(By Walter Oscar Keck. Co. \, Four
Infantry, Camp Greene.)
No more ham and eggs or gra pefruit,
When the bugle blows for chow
For we're in the army now;
And they feed us beans for breakfa
And for lunch we have EN- too,
And at night they fill our tummies
With good old army stew
No more fizzes. beers or highballs
When we've got an awful thirst;
If you're thinking Of enisting
Best get used to water first,
For the lids on tight all over
And the drilling makes us warm,
But we can't cool off with liquor,
Cause we wear the uniform,
No more shirts OF silk and linen,
We all wear the O. D. stuff;
No more nightshirts or paiamas,
For our pants are good enough.
No more feather ticks or pillows.
But we're glad to thank the Lord
That We've got a cot and blanket,
When we might have Just a board.
For they feeds US beans for breakfast,
And at noon we have EN- too;
And at night they fill our tummies
With good old army stew.
But by jnks, we'll lick the Kaiser
When the sergeantS teach US how;
For, hang him. he's the reason
That We're in the army now.
