YOU CAN’T REFUSE
By Strickland Gilligan
The Sammy came In from the trench,
and, says he:
"There's too many calls on the cour
age of me.
I answered the call when they asked
mo to come
To tight that my countrymen might
have a home.
I've fought ever since we've been,
quartered in France;
I've gone every time 1 was told to
advance.
This order you give, to go over the
top
Today, is too much—I am going to
stop.
There's a limit to what I can rightly
afTord
To give to my country with cheerful
accord.”
The officer's eyes stuck a foot from
his face
To hear this subaltern who courted
disgrace.
And the private was sent where all
mutineers go—
To.be shot the next sunrise—he hadn’t
a show.
I think that with me you will promptly
agree
That a tiring squad’s right for such
quitters ns he.
But hasn’t he Just as much right to
declare
Ills whole duty done and his Job to
forswear
As you In your home that he tights to
protect,
When you’re told that there still Is
some coin to collect?
He’s sworn to obey every call that Is
given;
To risk his existence without being
driven.
You, ’safe here at home, take advan
tage of this.
And claim no disgrace when a duty
you miss.
You soem to believe you've a right to
refuse
To lend of your hoard for the Allies
to use
Ip saving your land and the land ot
all others
Who claim human rights for them-
selves and their brothers.
You have no such right! In stern
duty you're bound
To GIVE while a coin In your coffers
Is found.

KAPPA ALPHA FRATERNITY
RECALLS DANCE INVITATIONS
In accordance with a requeet of the
United States government the Gamma
chapter of the Kappa Alpha fraternity
has recalled the Invitations issued for
its annual dance, which was to have
been given on Thursday night. May 9
The young men felt that an elaborate
dance was entirely out of accord with
the seriousness of the present situa
tion and chose rather to devote the
funds that would have been used for
decorations and other incidentals to
the purchase of Liberty Bonds.
This is the first organization
take such a step and the action has
won much -praise from all sides,
Chaperons and girls have expressed
their deep regret at missing what Is
as a rule, one of the largest and most
delightful dances of the college year,
hut they have also agreed most heart
ily with the spirit that prompted this
action and are eager to lend their co--
operation and support in the fine work
that is being done by the boys. This
one fraternity has already subscribed
over |150 in IJberty Bonds and its
service flag with sixty-five blue stars
and one of gold tells of the record its
former members have established.
Only last week six of its alumnae
passed through Athens on thelrway
to a port of embarkation, and out of
respect to them, and In the great
spirit of the times, that of sacrifice
of all pleasures in order to stand be
hind our army and navy, the Kappa
Alpha boys have chosen this method
of showing their patriotism and loy
alty.
MESSAGE FROM AMERICAN
WOMAN IN FRANCE
A cablegram sent to the American
committee for devastated France by
Mrs. A. M. Dike, director of the work

“We are busy caring for refugees In
great distress. All our children have
been transported to Audlgnicourt and
I have opened another branch at Vic
sur-Alsne. More than ever we must
be prepared to help a magnificent na
tion 'carry on.’ France Is looking to
America.”
"The morale of our evacuated fam-
III,-a is marvelous. All are depending
upon us to protect their Interests.
They regard the civilian committees
with -positive affection.
"It is vital that our plans for meet
ing the food problem should be re
inforced. It Is our turn to work with
Increased devotion to tho cause of
the Allies. Do not hesitate to lay
omphasls on tho necessity to carry
on the cultivation of crops. Send
over all possible assistance to this
end.
"Everything Is going well. Our en
tire unit is well, but extremely busy.
It Is more Imperative than ever that
we 'carry on’ In all branches of our
work.
"Congratulate our committees from
American Red Cross on their spirit
and devotion. The gratitude of the
French and their spirit and courage
are the marvel of the age. Tho Amer
ican Red Cross is supporting us to
the limit and will continue to help.’’
