WAR


He did not care if he never returned
Back to the world that he knew.
He left it, youth with a shrivelled soul
And his heart-it was not true.
But there on Flanders blood red fields,
Where men are broken or made,
He fought the battles of flesh and soul
While he had red blood to wade.
He swallowed the acid taste of fear
That ranked up in his throat,
And fought the one great fight of man,
And crossed, with God, the moat
Yes, crossed the moat and won his fight,
And went through the purging fire
And man like the pure white lilies af1oat
Sprang from out of the mire.
He did not know and could not see,
But war has opened his eyes;
1t showed him the road to Heaven or He'll,
And how brave man dies
Yes, how he dies and how he lives.
And should fight the battles of peace
So now it matters if he never returns
When this wild turmoil shall cease

INSIDE GERMANY AND ON THE Way There

The way American soldiers marched into
a German town one day and were apparently
at home the next gave the Germans
surprise. The Americans entered Cobenz
on q Sunday, and on Monday morning an
M. P. quietly patrolled his beat at every
street crossing and doughboys went about
the town as though they had always lived
there.
One German said he had never known
a detachment of soldiers to come into Co.
blenz and settle down to the general rou-
tine of affairs so quickly and so quietly as
did the Americans.
"Nothing seems to surprise or alarm you
Americans" he said

and canny any one else when it comes
to lnventing schemes to sell goods That
the Americans are rabid souvenir hunters
was long ago a well-known fact in Ger
many, but not until the American Army of
Occupation marched into the Rhineland did
the German merchants have a chance to
test this out
window on one of the main streets
of Coblcnz gittered with iron crosses the
day after the Americans came. The next
morning it glittered not, for every iron
cross mad been sold. Price, three marks
each.

German captain was left behind the
retreating German army for the purpose
of delivering to the Americans number
OF heavy guns that had been pulled I'D
along the roadside
Wien the advance guard of the Ameri-
can army came in sight it was rather
amused to see the German captain wave
white flag over his head.
The white flag afterward proved to be
a bed sheet, which is now guarded by
Private Henderson's watchfu eye for fear
that it may suddenly disappear and leave
him to sleep between two O. D. blankets.
An American soldier came out of
bakers shop in Trier with five apple pies
in his arms. He had gone but a short
distance when his toe met up with a stone

the banks of the Moselle. "What the heck
do you call that?" one of them asked, point
ing toward a numbering, putting, grooming
contraption that came slowly down the road.
The contraption was a steam roller. 1t
rolled up to the squad of doughboys and
stopped. German soldier climbed down
to the ground.
