Himself that he might help TO save

All that enlightened men hold dear.

Awake and see life as whole,
When. freedom. honor, justice. right,
Were threatened by the despots

With heart aflame and soul alight.
He bravely went for God to fight
Against base savages whose pride
The laws of God and man defied;
who slew the mother and her child
who maidens pure and sweet defiled,
He did not go ito feed the guns"
He went to save from ruthless Huns
His home and country, and to be
A guardian of democracy.

All, we'll. My sky should be more

But through the clouds the sun would
shine
And vital memories be mine.
Gods test of manhood is, I know
Not "wiN he come {" but did he go?"
And vet he went with purpose high,
To fight for peace and overthrow
The plans of Christ's relentless Zoe.
He dreaded not the battle field;
He went to make fierce vandals yield.

Went like mana hero true

That for humanity he died.

Awakes no deep response in me
For though his grave I shall not see

NV boy will ne'er forgotten be.
NV son can never really die;
'Tis but his body that may lie
In foreign land, and shall keep
Remembrance fond, forever deep
Within my heart OF my true son

DEAF TO PROPAGANDA
During the whole movement tina
number Of men reporting sick has been
extraordinarily small. The doctors
say that in many cases the men ap.
parently put off making such reports
because they I feared they might be
sent to the hospitals and lose their
chance of taking part in the great
battle.
For few days before the troops
went into the trenches officers took
energetic measures to suppress false
and vicious reports regarding the pro.
gress Of the battle. How these origl-
mated seems to be unknown but the
Americans on this front have now
reached state of mind such that they
will believe nothing they hear Unless

alleged news, whether good or bad.
REFUGEES WIN SYMPATHY.
Along some roads the Americans
encountered streams of refugees going
the other way, and the pitiful scenes
brought many expressions of sympa-
thy. More than one infantryman has
shared his rations with some French
family whose only home was a farm
cherished possessions.
On the evening before the troops
entered the line diversions were pro
vided for them. The regimental bands
played in almost every town where
troops were billeted and, they played
the latest American tunes Thou
sands of men gathered t6ehear the
bands, even in pouring rain to listen
to the shrapnel-helmeted musicians
and whistling all the tunes they knew.
Moving pictures have been shown in
various towns by the Y. M. G. A.
Both French and American films were
displayed and roars of approval
greeted we'll known moving picture
actors.
CHEERS FOR ACTRESS.
There were especially loud cheers
for the women stars, for the men have
been away from their wives and
sweethearts for a long time and even
the pictures of American women on
screen were appreciated. Pictures
showing scenes in New York, Chicago,
Washington and other cities gave
touch Of home which only mAd-splat-
tered American soldiers overseas on
the eve of going into battle could un-
derstaud.
