young men to leave a nation Of free

Ready to return to the greatest and
only nation on Gods earth. BadI
indeed, to give such noble life to
the treacherous disease of "hu" and
its older and more fatal brother,
pneumonia. Such men of the old u.

England may say her Royal Air

Italy her Wit, caused the turning
tide OF the war. But ask any Bosche
who won the war and who we're the
best fighters, the Basche's quick and
rather solemn answer will be, "a
mer-i-can" or "Yanks". Let us be
glad and thankful we have not lost
more of our noble sons, and the end
has come and the world shall be free
from barbarism forever. Let US pray
to God that we may see peace and
