"JACK" HOFFECKER
Killed in Action July IS. 1918. with U. ;.
Fighting Ninth.
BY "AL" BERkMAN.

Yours was e'er a rowing spirit. fettered
by a human frame,
Scornful Of reward or glory, you cared
only for the game;
Just a Soldier Boy OF Freedom seek
ing Kulture TO destroy,
Twas glorious cause you followed
for your freedom, Soldier Boy"
When the battle trumpeis sounded, you
were first in the advance.
And though others fled from danger,
YOU sailed bravely on TO France !:
Where the Arctic Blasts are sweeping.
where the desert sands annoy,
Men in many tongues are speaking Of
your exploits, Soldier Boy"
When you sailed YOU left a mother
yes, you left your old friends, too,
And you left the ones held dearest
they were all the world TO you,
Now they're sad and heavy-hearted.
while their souls know naught
Of joy,
And they all are praying for you-iust
for you brave Soldier Boy"
Somewhere out amid the trenches.
somewhere in the heat and roar,
In the dirt and blood and stenches Of
the hell that's known as war,
Where the poison gas is flowing, and
the shrapnel shells destroy,
There you made an end Of dreaming
and awakened, Soldier Boy"
Weakened to the great adventure, and
in leaving us Il seems
As II you had left behind you some re-
Elections Of your dreams,
some reflections, bright and brilliant,
that will Ill our souls with Joy
As a braver road OF travel, we are
treading, "Soldier Boy"
Household goods and real estate will
be sold to advantage through the Want

Thousands OF lancers in the morning light
Charging behind him with tumrltuoIs might
A laundering cataract of cavaliers.
He dreamed OF glory. Silver swords and spears
Banners of gold and purple and the bright
Meadows of waving hats to left and right
His tall plumes tossing in gale of cheers.
