SAID THE WOUNDED ONE:


Just see that We get full value
OF that for which we have paid
The price has been a heavy one,
But the goods are there-and we've paid.
We've paid in our toll and our woundings.
We've paid in the blood we We sned;
We've paid In our bitter hardships.
We've paid with our many dead
It's not payment in kind we ask for,
Two wrongs don make much of a right.
All we ask is that what we have paid for,
You secure for us, all right and tight.
The Peace Of the Worlds what we re after,
We've all mad enough of King Cain,
And the Kaiser and all mis- bullv-men,
With their World-Power big on the brain
MOI We fought with definite object
And it's this and We want il made plain
That it's God, and not any devil
That's TO rule III the world again

The collections of this particular

the far-reachin2 demands Of the

what the sum total Of all Iowa de-
