THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER
___________

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's
early light
What so proudly we hailed at the
twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were
so gallantly streaming,
And the rocket's red glare, the
bomb's bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that
our flag was still there;
Oh, say does that star-spangled ban-
ner still wave
O'er the land of the free and the
home of the brave?

FRANCE.

Ye sons of France, awake to glory!
Hark! hark, what myriads bid you
rise!
Your children, wives and grandsires
hoary,
Behold their tears and hear their
cries!

Shall hateful tyrants, mischiefs
breeding,
With hireling hosts, a fuffian band,
Affright and desolate the land,
While peace and liberty lies bleed-
ing?
To arms, toarms, ye brave!
The avenging sword unsheath!
March on! March on! all hearts re-
solved,
On victory or death.

BELIGUM.

Fled the years of servile shame!
Belgium's 'tis thine hour at last.
Wear again thy glorious name,
Spread they banner on the blast
Sovereign people in thy might,
Steadfast yet and valiant be.
On thine ancient standard write
King, and Law, and Liberty.

Belgium, mother, thus we vow,
Never shall our love abate.
Thou our hope, our safety thou,
Hearts and blood are consecrate.
Grave, we pray, upon thy shield
This device eternally,
Weal or woe, at home, afield,
King, and Law, and Liberty.

Live and glow in golden pages,
Without satin may he reign
Thro countless, countless ages
Till the rocks and the sea shall
vanished be.

This hour gives the signal; betake
you afar.

TO THE LADIES
OF FLUSHING, N. Y.

Groom:---The men who attend the
Y. M. C. A. unit 261.
To:---The Ladies' Travel Club,
Flushing, N. Y.
In appreciation of the home like
atmosphere due to your kind help
in decorating the interior of our Y.
M. C. A. building.

In the evening when we are lone-
some,
And have no where to go,
When the squad tent becomes lone-
some,
And there's no one we know,
Out thoughts are back at home,
With friends we used to see,
The best place that I know to roam,
Is next to home to me.

We'll step into our "Y,"
To see what's doing there.
Time is quickly passing by,
And blues are very rare.
Some one will make a bow,
To help us pass the time.
Are you sorry of your coming now
To hear the song and rhyme?

MORAL:

So when you're lonesome and blue,
With no one to tell why,
The very place I know for you,
Is our pleasant little "Y."

Q. M. C., Camp Sevier

Here's to the Kaiser who wants the

Whose brains no doubt are in a whirl
But let him logitate his woeful vision
And ah! there'll come a dreadful col-
lision
Then 'twill be that poor Billie's mind
Has failed to support the Hinden-
burg line.

SATAN OBJECTS

Sparks flew fom Old Satan's eyes,
"What's this I hear ?" asked he,
"They say that when the Kaiser dies,
He'll be consigned to me.
Old Hell is mighty dear,
The place is mighty fine,
But if they send that guy down here,
Believe me, I'll resign.

I stand for murderers and crooks,
And I will not disown
That I have right here on my books
The worst things ever known;
But my boys would get sore, I fear,
I know they would rebel;
The Kaiser cannot enter here,
For he'd corrupt all Hell!

Our sulphur is too clear for him,
Our brimstone lakes too pure,
And, if in one he'd take a swim,
He'd ruin it, I'm sure.
Our company is not so swell
While beasts we won't reject,
But keep the Kaiser out of Hell,
We still have SOME self respect.

ACTIVITIES AT THE SIGNAL
CORPS

The educational work is increasing
all the time. The old classes are in-
creasing in enrollment and new ones
are being formed. We now have
eleven classes with a total enroll-
ment of one hundred and seventy
men. The men all seem to be en-
thusiastic over their respective stu-
dies which range from beginners En-
glish to Algebra and the men are
frequently found in the class rooms
after the class has been dismissed
discussing and working problems.
Much interest is being shown in the
advanced readers class which is to
be organized this week. The object
of this course is to stimulate interest
in reading the best books and all
who complete this course while here
will be akarder a certificate for this
work.
More men are realizing the im-
portance of studying French now
while they have the opportunity and
the men who have been favored by
the services of Sergeant LaSalle are
finding it a very profitable course.
Last Wednesday night Mr. Troy
preached for us and gave us a forc-
ible message. We hope to have him
with us again soon.
Director Gardner is creating a
great interest in the hand to hand
fighting among the boys as may be
seen at any time when the boys get
together for they are frequently try-
ing new tricks.
Our Sunday School is gradually
growing and we are encouraged by
the interest the boys are taking in
the work.

of a Man.." Be the laughter ever so
hearty, there was a real message in
the lecture and Dr. Daniels can come
again whenever he likes.
Sunday evening brought the usual
concert of song and though the fath-
er of this happy idea, Capt. Jack
Halton, sang him farewill, he prom-
ised to come back. It is well for he
has gone no further than Camp Jack-
son, which isn't so far, but we could
go after him. It wouldn't have been
fair to the captain, however, if he
had not succeeded in exacting a
promise from us, and surely we will
all continue to lend our talent to
making this Sunday hour enjoyable
to our friends and deriving the joy
of service for ourselves.
Talent, splendid talent, there is in
itary train added much to our eve-
itary train aded much to our eve-
ning. We hope to have them again.
Other organizations have contributed
to these concerts and made them the
more pleasant for their part.

There's maybe yet some heart un-
touched
Because you haven't spoken,
There maybe one bound to despair
Of chains that can't be broken.
Spring's beauty to the blinded eyes
Mars not the bird's sweet singing,
Nor does the heavy load we bear
Prevent the joy of singing.
Though your's may be a little gift,
It's just the fact you're giving
Your song, your smile, your life, your
soul
That makes you feel like living.
