For most four years they've fought

And they've beat him in the

And now-he's got another foe,
A Teller named Uncle Sam,
A Teller, who. in times % peace,
Is as gentle as a lamb,
But, in times of war.
Well. he amt no Stacker.
This Teller called Uncle Sam.
And now. he's got his dander up,
Kaiser Billd better look out,
For. the first thing that he knows,
Uncle Samll put him and his
Hun-folks
All 10 rout.
Betcher boots. he kin do it,
This Uncle Sammy Of ours,
He was a little slow iu gittin'

But, by all the nations pow'rs
He'll beat EN- in the end,
This kaiser and his men.

Him and his Sammie-boys.

To do everything we can.
To help you, every day and hour
To git that Fisherman.
Were proud OF you. old Uncle Sam,
And each Sammie boy, so brave,
We're proud of our flag Old

Which. 10 US. our fathers gave.
They sacrificed much-those boys
in blue,
To give US that flag so dear,
And it's up To us 10 prove loyal
and true,
And to defend it each day ami
year.
It's a beautiful emblem,
With its Red. White aud Blue.
Its stars and its stripes
And its message true.
Yes, it's got a message. this flag
so dear,
a message OF truth and Liberty.
That's the reason we amt got a
bit OF fear
But what well win the victory.
For-right mus. prevail,
Not might. you know,
So, go ahead and old Kaiser Bill
show
He can't rule this world OF ours.
Not as long as Old Glory has its
field of stars.
We give three cheers for you.
Uncle Sam,
For our flag, and every Sammie-
man.
Who's given up home and loved
ones dear,
And gone forth to fight, without

We owe much TO them, those lad

And much TO the mothers who

Lest We, Forget" the patriotic
photo play, in which Rita Jolivet,
survivor of the Lusitania, is to be
starred, is a picture of exceptional
dramatic merit The play is filled
with action and incident and any
account of its scheme would be in
complete in so short a space.
A number of it's most stirring
scenes, however, might be related.
Miss Jolivet, in the course of the
action, escapes the many brutalities
of the enemy while she has served
as a telegraph operator in Belgium
and where she has herOically de-
fed the threats and tortures of the
/ Hun, and returns to America. In
New York she encounters a Ger
man baron whose unwelcome atten-
ton she had repulsed before the
outbreak of the war and whom she
discovers to be an agent of the
German spy system. When she tells
the Baron that she is about to re-
turn to Europe on the Lusitania he
begs her to postpone the voyage
and finally explains that the ship
is to be torpedoed.
