WILL BACK UP THE
BOYS At THE FRONT
Written for the Liberty Loan oroanL
zatlon Of the Eighth Federal
Reserve District.

uSoS1vS 0touISI
BY MILDRED 8. McFADEN.
We r backing up the boys at tho
front,
Our soldier boys. the flower Of our
youth,
Who answered Freedoms call
And are gladly giving all
For liberty. for Justice and for truth.
We are working for our heroes at the
front,
Who nobly bear the brunt Of shot
and shell.
For. backed by love untold,
And bullets made of gold,
They will rescue all the world from
German Hell.
We are backing up our sailors on
the sea,
So CALAMITY a-standing by their guns,
Mid perils of the deep
Where deadly U.boats creep
To do the baneful bidding of the Huas!
We are backing up our birdmen at
the front,
Whose dauntless souls no sense Of
fear can know.
Patrolmen of the sky,
Ger hostile lines they fly
To guard the guns on firing line'
below.
We are backing up our service at
the front,
Where toll of pain doth mark each
victory won,
That nurse with Cross of Red
May hover DER each bed
To soothe and comfort every mothers
We are backing up our colors at the
front,
Old Glory shall never brook disgrace.
o lift It high and higher.
That its message may inspire
A spirit Of world-freedom for the race.
To back our allied forces at the front
Is the urge Of our Liberty Loan
campaigns.
Each Liberty Bond we hold
Is a handicap of gold
To bind the Beast forevermore in
chains.
Bring your tithes into my store
house," Freedom calls,
Make every boarded dollar do its
share;
With patriotic thrill
And zeal of Bunker Hill
Roll up millions for the boys "over
there"

NEWS OF THE DAY

Upper Silesia has declared itself
an Independent republic and has
broken relations with Germany,
Borne advices announced. A declara-
ticn was printed in newspapers of
B:eslau and throughout Silesia for
mally proclaiming the republic. it was
stated.
Regarding the probable compost
ton of the national assembly to be
elected in Germany, George Bernhard,
editor of the Vossische Zeitung, gives
the following estimate: "The as
sembly will consist of 423 members.
Of these. about 200 will be
majority socialists and 20 indie
pendent socialists; 80 will be-
long to the new democratic
party, 100 will belong to the Christ
ian socialist party, the old Centre
party, reconstructed on broader and
no longer on purely clerical basis.
The small remainder will be distrib-
uted among the spartacus groups and
the conservatives.
Two toasts that will go dom in
history as being spoken by the heads
CT the two great English-speaking
nations at a time which marks a new
epoch for mankind were uttered in
Buckingham Palace, London, yester-
day evening at the great state ban
quet given by the King and Queen Of
Britain to President Wilson. Here
are the toasts: King George: 81
drink 20 the health of the President
Of the United States and Mrs. Wilson
and to the happiness and prosperity
of the great American nation" Pres
ident Wilson: MAY l not, sir, with
feeling of profound sincerity and
friendship and sympathy propose
your own health and the health of
the Queen and the prosperity of Great
Britain"
Shooting the former Kaiser and
his co-conspirators against world
peace would be letting them off too
easily, in the opinion of Richard
Barth, socialist member of the Ger
man government. The best punish
ment would be to make them rebuild
Belgium and northern France, he de-
clared in an interview with the Ber-
lin correspondent of the London Elk
press. PERSONALLY, I believe the war
