SOLDIERS, COME BACK CLEAN. (Written for Camp Greene Trench and Camp.) I may reek with blood and mire: I may reek with blaad and "mire; Put I will control, by the God in my soul. The might of my man's desire. I will tight my tight in the open. But my sword shall be sharp and clean, For the foe within. Who would lure me to sin. And 1 will come back clean. I may not leave for my children. Brave medals that I have won. But the blood in my veins Shall leave no stains. On brides or on babes unborn. And the scars that my body may carry. Shall not be from deeds obscene, I For my will shall say to the beast obey. And I shall come back clean. Oh. not on the fields of slapghter, , And not In the prison cell. Or in hunger and cold in the story. Told by war of its darkest hell; But the old, old sin of the senses. Can tell what the world may mean. To the soldiers' wives, and to innocent lives. And I will come back clean. ?Sergeant John W. Ferrish, Eighth 1 Company. Third Motor Mechanics. \ND CAMP Wednesday Evening, June 5.?Th Charlotte branch of the Jewish Wei jfare board, celebrated its reorganiza tlon with a dance in the remodelc clubroom in town with splendor li [abundance.
