Excerpt from Poems of Loyalty and Friendship The World War was the outcome of autocratic, selfish ambition, and the final settlement should be based on universal freedom and justice to the people of the earth. In portraying, with Betsy's flag, the birth of the first republic, incidents linked with the daily lives of the people have been added. We have selected a few poems from a large collection from the pen of a man who, in all his writings and dealings with his fellows, commencing with the discovery of this man, many years ago, behind a blacksmith's anvil, up to the present moment, not an unkind word or selfish act or motive have we been able to discover.
