Striving Ttimumnds
' I tried to tell of nil I had aeon, to
put tho efforts and accomplishments
of lives Into a fow words, to abridge

not tho tlmo or plaro that men hon

Friends, onjoylng tho calm and peaco

Into eternity. Mon went mad, ami

braver. Men died, and dying, gnlned
eternal life. Historians will record
tho dates and places. It Is only for us
who lived to remember, and to forgot.
. Vnforgotton Things '
Wo will remember the mall from
home, tho hours spent droumlng over
mothor's letter, the cold, wet dugout
mndo warm and dry by mother's lovo,
Tho letter from dad with Its choorful
news of crops nnd nolghbora, Its word
of advice. Tho letter from brother,
ull of fun, and friends, nnd patriot
ism, Wo will forgot dnya when mull
ciimu but none from homo, tlio lonely
hours and the long days until anoth
er mull,
Wo will remember tho rest by the
rondsldo and tho French lady who
.filled our imutoons with watur, and
us wllli good Normandy itpplns nnd
elder, Tho long lines of haggard
refugees, their homes on their hacks,
fleeing from tho conquering horde.
WV will forgot tho hulling sun, tho
Interminable while road, the dirt nnd
grlmo nnd sweat, tho hunger nnd
thirst und oxhiiusllon. , ;
ltoiiioinlior tho Omrgn
V will roinoJiiber tho udvanoe nn
the trot, the snapping "' besldo tho
road, tho plunging homes nnd shout
ing men; tho roaring ot our guns, tho
screaming ot tho'lmrtUid Bhell. Wo
will forget tho tired bodies, tho shells
to bo carried nnd wire to bo strung,
tho sleepless nights followed by sleep,
less days, and tho unending work,
work', work.
Wo will remember tho rust rnmps
where wo washed up, tho unique
pleasure of loafing and Idling nwuy
tho day, tho peace nnd quiet of the
woods, tho ruh. Into buttle, tho ex
citement and satlHtuctloli, the heroic
deeds, and tho friends resting be
neath tho pines. Wo will forget the
Inbor, tho hungnr, tho marching, the
nights of terror nnd days that wore
nightmares, tho hidden fear, tho
fiendish shell, tho swooping piano,
tho sneaking gun, und the erles nnd
shrieks of the wounded and dying,
nnd iaui mvmi nutm.
"Wo will try to forgot, yet trying.
remombor tho more, that night bo
foro pence. Our guns in I red nnd
nearly useless; tho crews sweating
and swearing, crying with futile rngc
as that lust murderous barrage ramo
over. Tho Mousu was crossed mid
tlio hill taken, but at n lerrlflo cost.
Tho waters echoed up tho rippling
sound or tho inaiihliie guns, tho woods
shuddered at Ilia chokud gimp of tho
dying, tho wolf-llko howl nf the In
siiiio, Flushing shells hurled duntli
III lis bluekest form among tlio boys
to whom pence hud senmnd so nuiir,
A grny morning slunk ovor tho hill
tops, loath to.rimml tho work ot

of guns slopped, a Hi run no quiet full
softly, broken by no rending crush of
shell, A iron sighed siidly us lis

Valley heneiith, Pence It it d coino,
Thnt night wo will try lo forgot.
