THE OLD ORDhR CHANGEIH,
Now they have ceased recruiting,
The valiant volunteer.
And men to do our shooting
The men for whom we cheer
Hereafter will br shifted
BY draft from civil life,
And manhood's ranks be sifted
To choose the men for strife.
The new plan Is the wiser,
And also safe and sane,
As means for whipping kaiser.
And giving Teutons pain,
Aud raising mighty forces
To break Won Hindy's line.
Md shape our forward courses.
And stop the watch on Rhine
Therefore we shouldn't grumble.
Nor throw brace Of fits,
But In a manner humble
Proceed to do our bits.
And go where Crowder calls us
To battle or 20 work:
No matter what hefalls MS
We shouldn't slack or shifk
But We shall miss the system
BY which men used 90 go.
The sergeant who'd enlist 'em.
And all his martial show
OF poster soldiers posing
In toys for dress parade.
And other scenes disclosing
Our warriors unafrRld.
