Sarah S. Andrews, of Long Beaeh, C ilifornia who is an aunt of Mrs.
James 'Vaneginond, of, Hallett. Mre. Andrews also has a aephewat•

Contingent, and was written while at Salisbury Plains: The last one
is by our Poet Laureate, Arthur Cantelon, of town, whohas composed
• several poems already on the great war,

England has called her men to arms
And all the, World should know
That Canada hhssent her volunteers
To fight the foreign foe,
are
r s brave
our.
As heroes boyswith we'll follow them with our prayers,
That God in mercy may protect,
Our Canadian Volunteers.
We are proud of our Brave Soldier Boys
Wherever they may be,
They'll be loyal to our honored Flag
On land or on the sea,
They willfightwhere duty calls them
Of the foes they have no fears
They will bravely help old England,'
Our Canadian Voluhteers.
From Ice clad Nova Scotia,
To Victoria's flowery dell,
You can hear the tramp, tramp of our boys,
The boys we love so well,
From every town and city,
In all Fair Canada,
The troups are marching to the front
Our own brave volunteers.
With our Provinces united,
We will trust in God and quell our fears
While we cheer our own brave soldier boys,
Our Canadian volunteers
But we will not forget the mothers
They have our heart felt prayers,
Who bravely gave their darling boys
To be Canadian volunteers.
Some boys have left their sweethearts,
Whose eyes are dimmed with tears,
And each have left someone who loves
Our Canadian volunteers,
When this cruel war is over,
We will greet them with our cheers,
And gladly welcome home again
Our Canadian Volunteers.
Mrs Sarah S. Andrews, Long Beach, Cal,
Britain rind Her Allies
Our Home, dear Canada, were leaving you,
Now that thy shores has sunk from view,
We're leaving loved ones in thy care,
Knowing you'll look after their wellfare,
So good-bye; mother. keep up thy heart,
For though these clouds tear us apart,
Tis only that God's will be done
That thou has sacrificed me, thy son.
We go to aid a human cause
And uphold Britain's noble laws;
Those laws through countless ages past
That's stood the test from first to last,
Those laws to which we would never say nay,
When upheld by Sir Edward Grey,
Upon that day in Parliament
When German policies he did resent.
First and foremost, why should we fear,
When at our head we've Kitchener,
Leader, Soldier and Gentleman,
That you'll find true, if history you scan;
"Kitchener" of "Egypt Fame;"
Always ready, always game,
A man who plans before the fight,
To see his men are all laid out right,
And while he's busily mapping,
Thert's none so far has caught him napping.
Another one, his right-hand man,
And name a better one if you can,
Who at the game could ere him beat,
When to save his men made a "noble Retreat,"

Boys, off with hat to General French!
While another one we greatly herald,
Dashing, slashing, Woods Fitzgerald,
Often pressed hard but still get through,
Which ever shows that he's 'true blue.
No doubt you've all read of this great game,
And no doubt you know who is to strife; and e
For this awful carnage, and misery, i
And heavy toll in human life,
Ambitious, cunning, luring Kaiser,
We proved thy depths, and found thee baiser
Thy eyes were blinded with their lust
To crush our homeland into dust.
But now you find you are mistaken,
Yet still must finish what you've partaken
You asked for war, you're getting it,
1279 17 Not just to your taste,
But served up by our soldier boys, with each pill
Marked, 'delivered in haste.'
You thought for sure your time had come
Upon that fatal day,
When the Irish Horne Hale question
Amongst the people held full sway,
2941 61You started trouble and made the plunge
Upon weak Belguim;
But though six to one, they made you run

'I'ni off to gay Paree,'
But leJriu got

Be scattered you both left and right,

'While all your hopes have gone to the skies
Since Britain came to aid the Allies,

And when she's finished, thenoq poly You

Canadian Soldier,
:Antr n Eagle Hong
'BY A.'CANTELON, FEB. 1915
2941 6i 'Pis of a mighty nation; as you shall understand,
'Governed by a pregident, to rule all over the land,
Our (their) emblem, is an Eagle, and a mighty bird she was,
She has a buhch,of'thunder-bolts, and she holds them
5181 61 in her claws, •
And when this erdighty Nation, this Eagie ,they do toast,
. She flops her *lugs and flies from Coast to coast,
'Jlow•she's resting ill the heathers, with poised head and
• drooping wings,
4Jliolving some White feathers.
(C-horfihsYatanktseeanYdesbtlfleppeDs ofloat o'e
r their land and sea,
FFhay sell tnutlitions of war, and corn and beans to you and me
.Our (their)` soldiers brave, they marched through mud
and rain
And whets the time was opertune, (they) thrashed ferocious
Spain,
' Then the Eagle let a' cry and soared away up ht the sky,
When the British cheeredhurrah,we'll cheer good old U. S, A.
Then the Eagle flapped her wings and flew from oceail
to sea, Justly crying on her way,
We will aid the British some day to, fight for liberty.
1105 77 But when a real war had started, and hardly had began,
6412 77 The Eagle cried a warning which startled every man,
When old Teuton the world defied,came marching down the road.
And murdered little Belguim with the saber and the sword,
The Christian Nations to her rescue ran, who do you think was
2291 20 missing, but good old Uncle Sam,
911 74 Yankee Doodle Do,

1182 42 !Come sailing round Cape Horn, as you would see,
32 29 Join hands with theBritish. born,and fight for honor and liberty
But we they have a President, a man of mighty note,.
1838 56 But he hesitates at trifles and truckles to the foreign vote,
6483 14 `Yankee Doodle Do.,
70.37 When the war is over,and honors are conferred
Upon the bear, the lion and the sea,
This lofty bird will duck her head and take a bath in the sea,
And when this mighty Nations broods forth a, young creation,
They all forlorn, will reach the glorious history of the British '
born„
' And with sorrow and remorse, they with one voice will say,
Why didn't Uncle Sam in his day,bring glory to the good U. S. A.
Yankee Doodle Do, Yankie Doodle Dandy,
They wont go to war because it isn't handy,
We'll ItItey'lil keep1(tlicir] our boys at home,
