HER SOLDIER BOY

There's a cottage in Kentucky where
mother kneels TO pray,
For her boy who Joined the colOrs
and so bravely marched away
He has gone TO Gght for Freedom
in a land across the sea.
Gone to fight for home and liberty,
for Christ, and you, and me.
May his courage never falter, in the
march toward the foe.
As he crosses bloody Flanders,
where the lilies used to grow.
This the prayer his mother voices,
as she gazeS far away,
And seems to see her little boy
in childhoOd's happy play:
II was but yesterday TO her that he
was just a lad,
He played his games around the
house, and always seemed so
glad;
And now he's gone from home and
kin. fighting for the right:
Nav God watch DER his footsteps,
in the darkness Of the night.
And. when Freedoms flag aloft. shall
wave 10 cover all mankind.
Nav he return TO her, a man, her
sheltering arms TO find.

Dear Luther

Soldering in France is not easy,
hut it is not dull and monotonous
We have tasted modern warfare
Most Of our time has been spent
bridging the Somme-part Of the
time under shell fire, bombed all
the time Besides we have been in
the front line trenches, gone thru
barrage fires and gas attacks and
heen partakers in the greatest re-
treat Of history. II is not finished
yet: we are preparing and waiting
for the Boche 10 start their new
offensive. Some have been killed.
