MORTE POUR FRANCE
Spring has come again and tender
green covers the battle-scarred earth
Nature, the sovereign panacea, lias
already begun her work of restoration
-flowers blossom over the graves o?
fallen heroes. Soon May will bring
the poppies, "between the crosses, row
on row." little gray crosses, each with
its aluminum identification tag-and
those that mark tho graves of" the
men who are buried in French ceme
teries inscribed with the words ".Mort?
Tour France."
Sixty thousand Americans He asleep
In France, "Morie Pour France*'
surely no other sentence could tell tho
story half so well. "Dead for France."
Probably the best known poem of
?he war is one quoted below, "In Flan
ders Fields." breathing thc fino spirit
of sacrifice for an ideal. "America's
Answer" stilled all fear that the sac
rifice was in vain, and nor when vic
tory in battlo is won comes "America's
Consecration." pledging a victory c?
right.
"Ce it our task tb savr>.
"In memory of the life you gave.
"Those rights for which your blood
was shed
"In Flanders Fields!"
r Thin is our task, in memory of thee
sixty thousand dead, to insure the vic
tory they won. else they have died for
naught.
To every citizen of th? United
States belongs this opportunity, the
last opportunity to measure un to the
standard set by the boys. The great
est victory of all must be won now.
and the shots that will bring it about
will be made of dollars. Lend yours to
end tlie -war. Buy Victory Liberty Loan

IN FLANDERS FIELDS
By Lt. Col. John D. McRae.
(Written durinj? the f?cond battle of j
x Ypres! 1015. Tho author. Dr. .To!i:: P. ;
McCni?. of Montro.nl. Can., was kitted
in Flanders, January 2<?. lin?)
In Panders fields thc poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row.
That mark our place; and in the ^ky
The larks.still bravely singing, fly.
Scarce heard amidst the guns 1 .^'.ow.
"We are the dead. Sh.'.'rt days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset plow.
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you from falling hands we throw
The torch. Be yours to hold it high!
If you break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies 1
grow
In Flanders f!eld3.
AMERICA'S ANSWER.
By R. W. Li Hard
("Written after the .'oath of Lieut. Col.
MoHae, author of "tn Flanders Fields,"
and printed in the Xew York Evening
Post)
Rest ye in peace, ye Flanders dead.
The fight that ye so brave";.' led
We've tnken up. And we will keep
True faith with you who Pe asleep,
With each a cross to mark his bed.
And poppies blobing ovjorh^ad.
Where once his own life blood ran
red;
So let your rest be swr>et and deep
In Flanders fields.
Fear not that ye have died for naught;
The torch ye threw to use we caught,
Ten million hands will hold it high,
And freedom's light shall never die!
We've learned the lesson that ye
taught
In Flanders fields.
AMERICA'S CONSECRATION.
By Charles Hall Davis. Petersburg, Ta,
("Written on December 1*\ 101S. arter the
armistice was signed tmd Germany
defeated)
The poppies' blooms now mark in red
Your resting place, ye gallant dead.
In Flanders fields. And as they ware
Above each cross-marked. Allied
grave.
And breathe their opiates overhead
To ease each narrow, earthen bed,
Where you now rest-vour spirit
fled;
?Sleep peacefully, ye -warriors brave
In Flanders fields!
The cause that you -so boldly led
With dauntless spirit, unafraid,
Is won. Be it our task to save.
In memory of the life you gave,
Those rights for which your blood -was
shed
Tn Flandern fields!
