oommr OFFICIAL PAPER
FACING THE SHADOW S
(Awarded First Prize In the Paris
"Herald
By Private William I. Grundish,
United States Army In France
When I behold the tense and tragic
night
Shrouding the earth in vague, sym
bolic gloom.
And when I think that, ere my fancy's
flight
Has reached the portals of the Inner
room
Where knightly ghosts, guarding the
sacred ark
Of brave romance, through me shall
sing again,
Death may engulf me in eternal
dark
Still, I have no regret nor poignant
pain.
For
Better in one ecstatic, epic day
To strike a blow for GLORY and for
TRUTH,
With ardent, Binging heart to toss
away
In FREEDOM'S holy cause my eager
youth.
Than bear, as weary years past one
by one,
The knowledge of a sacred task undone.

Commissioner Wells of Oregon said:

Drop no burning mr.tches or to

build it away from logs, trees, or

around It, digging down to dirt. When
you leave, PUT IT OUT. If no
water Is available, use dirt.
