"Let's say a prayer, For the boys over thsls-"

"on fame's .,.rri.r ."r"inrr* grounds Their silent tombs are spread, And glory guards with solemn round, The bivouac of the dead."

"Lord, God of nJar.u.'rrith us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget."

"To you *i*, r"iii'j nJ"a. we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die, We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders Field." * * r cannot ."r, I .,Ju lo.'r", That he is dead; he is just away. With a cheery smile and a waving hand, He has wandered into the Promised Land.

"To them we owe the liberty we enjoy. To them we owe the preservation of our institutions-and shall we not hold them in grateful remembrance? In God's name, then, let us respect and love the dead who died for us." (General John A. Logan.)

General Logan tit e-isJ ,iu,'""tnr, day carries with it the idea of our loss and the dear cost of liberty. It brings fresh to mind the deeds of our country's martyrs. It keeps alive and warm the great principles for which our sires poured out their blood."

This is an hour "o nil.airiJrr .lt"-r,,,, that the language we speak seems totally inadequate to properly express those thoughts that becloud the spirit of every thinking man and woman. In the past two weeks, thousands of our boys, our blood-brothers, have been sacrificed on the altar of war in the battle for freedom and justice. Words cannot express our gratitude, our admiration, our love, and our immeasurable regret that such things must be. We can but bow our heads and hearts in boundless appreciation of what they have done-of what their comrades are doing.

Yes, we can follow ,fr. **a"- of the popular song, and "say a prayer for the boys over there," Over there where the grandsons of the men who fought under Grant and Sherman fight shoulder to shoulder with the grandsons of the men in grey who fought as devotedly under Lee and Jackson. The descendants of those who battled under the on July 4, 1918, Wooa.l- i"ti."" described what America was fighting for in a very few splendidly-chosen words, when he said: "There can be no compromise, no half-way decision is conceivable. What we seek is the reign of law, based upon the consent of the governed, and sustained by the organized opinion of mankind." And here, twenty-six years later, our boys are again fighting and dying for those very things that Wilson named.

Stars and Stripes at Gettysburg and Chickamauga, join forces with the descendants of those who nobly defended the "Lost Cause," in order that Hitler, and Hirohito and all their hordes of hatred and bloodshed may be banished from the earth. Surely there is no North or South, no East or West in this country any more. There is just one America, "the land of the free and the home of the brave"; and the brave shall keep it free.

They are seeing to it, tiorl rly. rrorn all forty-eight of our states, that the glorious traditions of this country that were established by Washington and his lion-hearted men at Valley Forge, shall be made even more glorious in this present conflict. This is a land that came into being because men and women wanted freedom, and were willing to make any sacrifice to secure it. And don't forget ! There is only ONE freedo,m ! That word is all-embracing and cannot be divided. THAT is the freedom for which our boys fight-and die-as these words are written.

During World W", Ol. 1n.* r"rrro.r, revival preacher, Billy Sunday, used to say in his war sermons: "God has different ways of doing things. A left hook to the jaw is sometimes far better than a prayer." We're using both in France today.

Isn't it wonderful how, while we at home choke with emotion as we think of what our boys over there are going through, those stout-hearted youngsters can joke even while "death rides whistling on every wind" ? Reports of the invasion on D-Day as they came from many front-line reporters said that the good old transportation gag-"Is this trip necessary?"-was shouted back and forth between our boys amid chuckles and belly-laughs, even as the bullets few everywhere. Aren't they wonderful?

Madam Chiang Kai-shek has said: "When victory is won we should see to it that the evil which has brought about the world catastrophe is attacked at its source-in the schools. If the minds of millions of children had not been poisoned in the schools of Germany, ftaly, and Japan, their young men would not have allowed themselves to be led

(Continued on Page 10) is a slogan of which we have been very proud for a period of many years.

And when the war clouds clear away you will find us f eaturing this slogan in our advertising as prominently as ever before.

(Continrreci from Page 8) like beasts to the slaughter for a cause contrary to all ideas of humanity and justice."

Who can doubt that *i,nill ,1. l.r-"t nation today there prevails such gloom, such despondency, such mental and physical misery as no nation in history has ever known before. For in that land every house is already a house of mourning; every mind is depressed by the constant thinning of the military ranks, even at this time when the mighty fist of the Allies is knocking loudly at their very door. And in addition to all that, the hatred and condemnation of the entire civilized world must, we know, have a terribly sodden effect on the general morale. Everyone knows that the hardest man to lick is the man who smiles while he fights; and who, in Germany, can smile while he fights, or waits for news of the fighting?

Hitler: He stands at uay,-to, "irr"a by righteous ire, Stout hearts are pledged to bring about his fall. The clouds grow red; the skies are raining fire. And then a hand moves, writing on the wall The age-old solemn warning HE ignored: "Who takes the sword shall perish with the sword !"

-A. N. Weeber

rn world war one, .;J cl.-"r, soldier carried suspended around his neck a disk, aluminum for the officers, celluloid for the men. On one side of the disk was a picture of the Kaiser's idea of God-a fierce-looking, bewhiskered war god, and on the other side these words of the Kaiser: "Destroy all, and return to God and me, and be immune."

Said Goering: "Fuehrer, :^J, fo o.r, to fisht?" "Yes, my friend, you orter: Shine your medals up nice and bright, But don't go near the slaughter."

Out at Longview, **nt*b", the employes of the Long-Bell Lumber Company have adopted a slogan which they send to every one of their men in the armed services, that reads: "Hit 'em, damn 'em, with everything you've got; good hunting and good luck; we'll keep the home front slugging with you." They follow the philosophy that says:

He also fights who helps a fighter fight; He doth his best for Freedom, God, and Right; Not all may face the shot and shell; A patriot he who doth his task full well Behind the lines; whose deeds, and words, and life Show love of country, service, sacrifice.

A few days from ,,o* .,J,, ;. ;. Fourth of July, the day laden with this nation's best traditions. Want to meet a prophet? Meet Jo,hn Adams, second President of the United States. Ilere's why I say he was. After the Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson and put through the Congress by himself and others, John Adams wrote: "The Fourth of July, 1776, will be a memorable epoch in the history of America. I am inclined to believe it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as THE great anniversary festival. It ought to be cormmemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to Almighty God. It ought to be solemnized with pomp, shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations from one end of the continent to the other. from this time forward forever." What say? Wasn't John a true prophet ?
