Uncle Samuel has sworn by his famous goatee ffe will fight to the last that mankind may be free From financial fakers and ludl's incubators Of trouble for victims of barbaric dicta tors Sam"sal! cut. and all in to the luff on his chin The wheels of Ids workshops in?e,ssantly spin Our American Allies will sail, march
and fly Till democracy triumphs o'er land, sea and sky The fight may be bitter, heartrending and long But fortune will favour the brave and the strong Until all the world joins in "the Victory song." H. SERGANT.
