The following . appeal was
written by one of our volunteer
boys now in Camp Lee, Peters
burg, Va. :
We give service, you shut off our beer,
But the slacker can drink 'til it runs
out his car.
We quit a good job to keep you from
harm,
And the slacker goes by with a girl on
hi' arm,
And laughs at the soldier, poor, un
lucky cuss.
Girls go with the slacker; why criti
cize us? '
The slacker rides by in a Ford car all
his own,
And charges a quar'er to haul us
around -
We are doing our duty; his liver is
white,
Yet we leave the streets at eleven at
night
While he sticks around as long as he
likes.
Discipline we know is a thing that
m i tl le
But, honest to goodness, we fail to see
If the soldier drinks nothing but water
and pop,
Why the drinks of the slacker can't
also be stopped.
If the slacker can dance it seems rather
hard
That at all decent dances the uniform
is barred.
We've shouldered our rifles and taken
our place,
And will go to our death with a smile
on our face,
But this is our honest appeal to you
until wc cross over, nleaso rive us
our due.

the history of American circusei,
and it has been described as the
most gorgeous presentation ever

menagerie will be seen many
new specimens of wild and un
tamed animals. There are a
dozen of new baby animals in
the great zoo.
There will be more than one
hundred acts, and to name and
describe them would occupy too
much space.
The parade, which is entirely
new, will start from the show
grounds in Washington Oct. 30th.
