Not long afterward a copy was found on the body of a dead American soldier in Italy—and from then on "Conversion" has spread to every corner of the earth. Tabulation of Miss Angermayer’s corres pondence indicates that at least 6,000,000 copies have been printed and distributed. The poem follows: Look, God, I have never spoken to you— But now—I want to say “How do you do.” You see, God, they told me you didn’t exist— And like a fool—I believed all of this. Last night from a shell hole I saw your sky— I figured then they had told me a lie. Had I taken time to see the things you made, I’d known they weren’t calling a spade a spade. I wonder, God, if you’d shake my hand, Somehow—I feel that you will understand. Funny—I had to come to this hellish place, Before I had the time to see your face. Well, I guess there isn’t much more to say, But I’m sure glad, God, I met you today. I guess the “zero hour” will soon be here, But I’m not afraid since I know you’re near. The signal !—well, God—I’ll have to go. I like you lots—this I want you to know— Look, now—this will be a horrible fight— Who knows—I may come to your house tonight— Though I wasn’t friendly with you before, I wonder, God—if you’d wait at your door— Look—I’m crying! Me!—Shedding tears!— I wish I’d known you these many years— Well, I will have to go now, God—goodbye. Strange—since I met you—I’m not afraid to die. —Frances Angermayer.

ON ABSENTEEISM A poem found by Pfc. Jess W. Marlar on the Philippine Islands. So you’re tired of working, mister, and you think you’ll rest a bit. You’ve been working pretty steady, and you’re getting sick of it. You think the war is ending: so you’re slowing down the pace. That’s what you may be thinking, sir, but it just ain’t the case. What would you think, sir, if we quit because we’re tired too? We’re flesh and blood and human, and we’re just as tired as you. Did you ever dig a foxhole and climb down deep inside And wish it went to China so you’d have someplace to hide While motored "buzzards ’ packed with guns were circling overhead And filling the ground around you with hot, exploding lead? And did you ever dig out, mister, from debris and dirt and feel yourself all over to see where you were hurt And find you couldn't move, though you wasn’t hurt at all And feel so darned relieved that you’d just sit there and bawl? Was you ever hungry, mister, not the kind that food soon gluts But a gnawing, cutting hunger that bites into your guts? It's a homesick hunger, mister, and it digs around inside And it’s got you in its clutches, and there is no place to hide. Was you ever dirty, mister, not wilty-collar kind But the oozy, slimy, messy, gritty dirt—the kind that grinds? Did you ever mind the heat, sir, not the kind that make sweat run But the kind that drives you crazy till you even curse the sun? Was you ever weary, mister, I mean dog-tired? You know. When your feet ain't got no feeling and your legs don’t want to go But we keep a goin', mister, you can bet your life we do. And let me tell you. mister, we expect the same of you.
