who has helped her father care for
his clover and prepare for wheat

Throughout all future ages, France
will be a sacred land to Americans
Harry Lauder tells of the solemnity
he felt when he approached the spot
where his own son had fallen. And
so Americans will go for years and
years and place wreathes on the
spots, marked by the rude wooden
crosses where their sons gave their
lives for liberty. This ground will
be hallowed by the thought that It
was stained with American blood
and made dear forever to American
hearts by the scenes that TRANSFERRED

history our men have gone overseas
to set things Alright and it was in
France-fulsome, chivalrous and
romantic France - where fate
destined them to lift the banner of
right over an outraged world.
