Awake America, awake. awake
To the peril that's in your way
Arouse your boys and let them shout
der arms,
SO Sammy will win the day
So Sammy will win the day,
When he marches far away!
CHORUS
You know you love America
Her boys are going to be;
The challengers who brave the foe,
The demons of the sea.
Awake America, awake awake
Just you listen to that sound
The roaring of old Sammys cannon
'Tis the best cannon ever found,
America we love you
And your sailor boys in blue,

in building up the devastated countries of Europe.
 Business generly is likely to continue to be good, but it will constantly readjust itself to war conditions. Tie more generally this fact is recognized the better it will be for business men and for the nation. However heavy the tax burden may ap- pear to corporations and indivi- duals. the fact should always be kept in view that the needs may be taxed to their utmost to meet these necessities, and people should acquisce in undertakings which have for their object the successful prosecution of the war. The Allies of Europe have had to bear a tremendously heavy tax burden, and the peo- pie of the United States can be equally patriotic and efficient in the present emergency"
