Who shall stay and reap the harvest

But the drum
Echoed, "Come

"But when won the coming battle,
What of profit springs therefrom ?
What if conquest, subjugation,
Even greater ills become"
But the drum
Answered, "Come!
You must do the sum to prove 1t,

"What if, mid the lannon's thunder,

When my brothers fall around me,
Should my heart grow cold and

But the drum
Answered, "Come!"
Better there in death united, than in

Some in faith, and doubling some,

A. Lee Writes Of Big
Celebration Held In Some
French City"

Private Lloyd A. Lee, son of Mr. and
Mrs A. A. Lee, is now in France in the
signal corps, stationed at general head
quarters Of the American forces. In a
recent letter he writes that one OF the
things the boys m5ss the most is that of
hearing woman or Young girl talk 4
language they can understand. There
seems to he an abundance of women
folks over there but of course they do
not talk "United States.''
One Of his greatest pleasures recently
was in visiting the cathedral that was
bombed by the long distance German
gun and the pleasure Of the day was not
from viewing scenes in Paris but from
the fact that the boys were accompanied
be several American nurses who could
talk English language 1t just made tie
boys happy to hear the real American
lingo.
He attended big celebration held
some time ago and had the pleasure of
seeing General Pershing and a dozen ia

soon after our arrival some French
generals drove up and were welcomed
by the delegation about half way down

there was many greetings and hand
