railroad static n. is an indication of
v l.at they will receive at every place
from which they embarked in the
United States. Thousands of people
from London and Liverpool are lined
up to cheer for them, with grateful
hearts.
And what sort of a reception will
those same hoys get when they reach
this side of tin* water? Can you
imagine'.’ ( an you picture the crowds
oi rejoicing Americans that will line
their pathway as they leave the ships
ami march through the streets to
their destination? (’an you see the
faces of those people who are there 1
to welcome4 the boys home? ('an you
hear them cheer and shout with glad
ness. that will beggar their attempts!
to express it? (’an you see (hem
wipe their eyes, unashamed, as their
hearts are stirred ti* tlu* depths by
the sight of tin leave lads who have
fought for them and for us against
tin menace that threatened our fu
