The soldier threaded his weary
Way back to the Colonel’s dugout.
He had been in half a dozen skir
mishes with the enemy in as many
weeks. He was still intact but
scratched and wearied from crawl
ing fhrough barbed wire and in and
out of shell craters.
He entered the dugout and sal
uted with click of heels and hand
to cap.
"Colonel,” he said, “I think I
will have to quit. The battles are
getting to be so many. It’s rather
too much of a good thing. I have
given about all I can of time and
strength and blood to this war. I
am going home.”
No; the incident didn’t happen.
But Why shouldn’t it? There are
lots of civilians here at home turn
ing down BUch appeals as the Red
Cross and the Liberty Loans be
cause "the calls are so many."

Your flag and my flag
And how it flies to-day
In your land and my land
And half a world away!
Rose-red and blood-red
The stripes for ever gleam;
Snow-white and soul-white—
To good forefathers’ dream:
Sky-blue and true blue, with stars to gleam aright-
The gloried guidon of the day; a shelter through
the night,
Your flag and my flag!
And, oh how much it holds—
Your land and my land—
Secure within its folds!
Your heart and my heart
Beat quicker at the sight;
Sun-kissed and wind-tossed—
Red and blue and white.
The one flag~the great flag—the flag for me and you
Glorified all else beside-the red and white and blue!
Your flag and my flag!
To every star and stripe
The drums beat as hearts beat
And fifers shrilly pipe!
Your flag and my flag—
A blessing in the sky;
Your hope and my hope!
It never hid a lie!
Home land and far land and half the world around
Old Glory hears our glad salute and ripples to the
sound!-
