From city; town and country, > The call has come to go, To fight for our country’s welfare And our loved ones must go. Ail ftmor to our heroes Who go into the fight- To battle for our country And for our country’s right. Our forefathers fought for freedom; They fought and gained the day. Under the stars and stripes We are flying today. God pity our fathers and mothers, All over our land today, The sighs, the tears, and heartaches, As they think of their boys far , sisters and sweethearts, fir loved ones go from their sight,’ To cross the treacherous ocean, To danger, battle and strife. May God speed the day When all the world will be at peace And this human carnage And loss of life shall cease. And may this thrilling message, O’er land and waters cross Peace on earth, good will Be over all the earth. May friendship and charity abide, And benevolence on every side May flags of peace in triumph wave, And unto God we will give the praise. —Composed by Mrs. Jennie Hager, Halley's Bluffs.
