REMEMBER THE SLOGAN \
Boys of the U. S. A., •
This is what I have to say:
Never think the victory won.
Remember our slogan “It Shall be
done.”
Nor once at cases it down,
'Til thou hast gained the Kaiser’s
Crown.
Then my boys, be at ease,
For then we can do just as we please.
We all know Wilhelm la sore,
For the Sammies are near his door,
Our boyi know how to handle tl|e ma
chine gun;
Proof is, the Bochcs are on the run,
The Germans do not have time to bury
For-we have passed Chateau Thierry.
Elchcrnes death was very sad (to
others);
Theb omb was thrown by an allied lad.
We arc on our way to Berlin,
And soon will be sheltered therein,
And all theb ullets have not been
thrown.
Til Gen. Pershing sits on the Kaiser’s
throne,
For the Americans will gain the day,
And show the nations the right of way
We havo donned the kahki pants,
Crossed the deep to help out France,
All her troubles well help to mend.
For she proved to be our friend.
When all sow the righteous seed.
We will all befriends indeed.
When all I* OTOr aru ' tho air is cool.
