Welcome the New.
By PAUL WHITAKER.
211th Field Signal.


Welcome, you loyal sons, welcome to the camp |
We hear your .rousing cheers, and hear your
footsteps tramp
Upon the sands Of Meade.
Good soldiers all. in sooth. you soon shall be ;
Ready for the fight and fray whate'er the
hardship means;
You'll pitch right in with life that's clean,
And you'll victorious be indeed.
Grow strong In work and gain the crown
That covers the brow Of those death cannot
down,
Though hard be the road you tread each day.
Make each act count, every deed sublime;
Take your lot a. 1t comes, and in all good time
You'll attain the good soldiers way.
Again we greet you and wish you the best
That God can bestow in this rugged test;
We Of the camps wall stick stanch and true,
And help with strength If you ever feel blue.
And then. when the nght il done, what Joy!
Praise shall be yours without alloy,
Praise for work well done.
Forget Us, perhaps, you never will,
For our thoughts follow yon Ger dale and hill
Until your journeys been run.

Leon Applewhite was recently torn
between love and duty. Apple made a
Titanic hit with the only woman who
ever understood him, and he was at
about the same time sent to the dis
tant port of Pensacola.
* Yea, verify. Sherman spaketh the
truth when he said Juarez Hell,
And, speaking of war things, here's
something that happened to Joe Hoist:
He asked the dainty Charleston miss
To give him just one little kiss;
She gaxed at him with look Of awe.
Then gently told him, Go to war"
He visioned fields where men had bled.
Then thought what Gen. Sherman said: :
"A light dawned on him, and he saw
Just what she meant by Go to war"

Toast to the Flag.
By JOHN DAILY,

In Somewhere IN America"
Here's to the red Of It;
There's not q thread Of It.
No, NOR q shred Of Il,
In all the spread Of IL,
From foot to head,
But heroes bled for tt,
Faced steel and lead for 1t,
Precious blood shed for It,
Bathing in red.
Here's to the white Of it:
Thrilled by the sight Of it,
Who knows the right Of IL,
But has felt the might Of IL
Through day and night.
W0manhood's care for Il
Made manhood dare for IL,
Purity's prayer for it
Kept 1t so white.
Here's to the blue Of It,
Heavenly view OF It,
Star-Spangled hue Of e,
Honesty's due Of Il,
Constant and true;
Here's to the whole Of Il,
Stars. stripes and pole Of &c.
Here's to the soul Of IL,
Red. white and blue.

"As we landed bunch Of COWS

were to be shot down or up. and no

coat we were wearing was the cause
of their curiosity. It surely did look
funny to see the gang of bovines with
their tails in the air chasing this huge
plane across the field. I felt like q
toreador.
I'VE climbed out and went to the
town. The people then came out to
the bus and bummed cigarettes, asked
questions and monkeyed about the
controls till I threatened sudden
death tethe next offender. Hereafter,
on every cross country, I shall carry
one bomb. and the sight OF 1t will
serve my purpose. They have read in
the papers what bombs do to people.

this guard rode up. and from the
looks Of 1t you might have thought
1t was the entire regiment bent for
overseas duty! They had sleeping
bags. horses and guns, and Oh, Lord,
what not. All to watch one poor old
bus that no aviator could have been
hired to steal.
