what Has Britain Gone?

What has Britain done?
Kept the faith and fought the fight
For the everlasting right;
Chivalrously couehed her lance
In defense of Belgium. France,
This has Britain done,
What has Britain done?
Given every seventh son,
Met the challenge OF the Hun;
Placed her men on every field
Proud to die, too proud to yield.
This has Britain done!
What has Britain done?
Answers every far-tiung breeze
Blown across the Seven Seas
Watch and ward secure we keep
Vigilance that never sleeps"
This has Britain done.
What has Britain done?
On every front, her flag unfurled,
Fought a world-war round the world
Then, when all is said and done,
Ask her Allies, ask the Hun,
What has Britain done?
What has Britain done?
For her slain Britannia weeps--
She might boast who silence keeps.
But, when all is done and said.
Call the roll and count her dead
And know what she has done!

"Western Reserve"

When Connecticut, in lTS6 coded
her western lands 10 the United States.
she reserved large tract adjoining
Pennsylvania, now forming several
counties In the northeastern part Of
Ohio. From this the region came to
be called ''ihe Western Reserve" The
reservation by Connecticut only lasted
a few years, rs in 1900 she completed
the transfer of all the lands TO the
United States. The Western Reserve
soon became famous for it's good citi-
zenship, fine farms and determined OPP

; The great world problem for this
winter will be the feeding of the
European peoples. America will make
heroic attempts to relieve the stu
alton; but the task is enormous. Only
q very few European Countries, and
they the smaller ones, have food,
enough for their own use. Great Brit
ain and Italy will have to go on short
rations for another year; France and
Belgium are devastated so that this
year they have not produced a tenth
of the food necessary for the susten-
ance OF their people Turkey is in a
semtstaryation condition, as is also
bulgaria and Rumania. Austria has
sent strenuous appeals to this coun-
try for aid for its starving population;
and Cermany's needs are so great
that it has had the nerve to appeal TO-
us for food And Russia--famne is
actually stalking through that land at
the present time Millions are suf-
fering there, especially in the Bolshe-
vik-controlled sections. 1t seems al
most impossible to get food to the
forty million people of the Russian in
terror this winter-not even the ne
cessaries of life. There is bound to
be immense suffering, even with re-
lief work. speeded to its utmost.
America is now called upon to per
form an even greater task than she

AS night draws her curtains of slum-
be-,
over the beautiful valley of the VIII
loomsac-
Hillsides and valleys clothed in liv-
ing green
Watered by the streams historic,
Where the patriots true and loyal.
Fought for freedom and the right.
Where the suns little brighter;
Where birds sing little sweeter;
Where the brooklets softly murmur,
And the specified beauties watch for
prey.
Where towering high in air the shaft
memorial
Ger looking sacred soil where Stark
and Warner.
Led, that August day, to victory and
fame.
The brave Green Mountain Boys of
~.
Where in sacred soil are sleeping.
Those who made this region glorious,
Sleeping til the resurrection morn,
Calls them back to life immortal.
Where the Boys of 81,
Find home in peace and comfort,
Where they tell the oft told story,
Battles won beneath "0ld Glory"
Where the call to arms is needed,
Where they flock to foreign soil.
There to fight the Beast of Berlin,
And his subtle power destroy.
Graded midst these scenes OF beauty
Immortalized in verse and story.
Peopled with fair sons and daughters
Lies the Queen OF all New England
Bennington.
George b. Sears,
