The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1918-06-08

Inc SWORDS ana muSketS rattle;
Against its ancient foe
Today goes forth TO battle.
It fights with yesterday,
Avenging ancient causes;
1t wages deadly fray;
1t fights and never pauses.
But while their martial haste
Brings woe and want and sorrow,
Their ravages lay waste
The neutral land, Tomorrow
Selected.
