SATURDAYS, THE ‘♦IRON CLAW”
“US FOR SAM”
While all Europe is a shambles
And the whole world is at war,
And half the land the sun shines on
Is drenched in human gore.
When every nation counts the men
It knows are tried and true
We send this message to you Sam,
“Alaska stands with you.”
You never treated us quite right,
You grabbed away our coal
And reserved all our fire wood
And what we used we stole.
You soaked us on our cable tolls
Put we don't give a damn,
At twenty-eight cents per word we say
We’re with you, Uncle Sam.
v
You squandered untold millions
On tfie lousy Philippines,
But you always made Alaskans
Go and rustle for their beans.
Your Black and Tan possessions
While they cost you quite a few
Can never be depended on,
But, we’d go to hell for you.
We’re quite unused to luxuries,
We’ve always played alone,
When we asked for help to build our
trails
You handed us a stone.
You four-flushed on the railroad,
But we don’t give a damn,
If they monkey with the Eagle,
We’re with you, Uncle Sam.
You gave us leave to make some laws,
Then tied our hands behind.
This g^t to us was just the same
As pictures to the blind.
Your laws all have a “joker,”
Made to catch the sourdough,
And it’s hard to beat your game, Sam,
When it’s framed up down below.
We’ve always been the dumping
ground
For your political misfits,
But, Sam, if you’re in trouble,
We’re willing to cry “quits.”
We’ve never had an even break,
But we don’t care a damn,
If the Lion growls, remember this,
We’ le Sam.
We’re used to meeting troubles.
And if you put us to the test,
You’ll find Alaska loves you, Sam,
Far better than the rest.
But, Sam, when this is over
As morning follows night,
Pray give us your attention
And set some matters right.
We need some decent cable rates,
We need some decent mails,
We need some decent coast lights,
And we need some decent trails.
You’ve given these to all the rest,
But we don’t care a damn,
If it’s full grown men you’re needin’,
We’re with you, Uncle Sam.

A trapper near Teikhell reports
that a pair of grouse have spent the
winter in and around his cabin, sleep
ing at night in the snow in his door
yard. It is believed the birds were
driven to civilization by the unusual
ly large number of lynx in the woods
this year. The birds are as tame as
domesticated fowls.

AMERICAN
LEGION HAILS
U. S. ENTM
'
LONDON, May 1.—America’s en
try into the war was hailed with
unbounded enthusiasm by everyone
of the 700 native-born Americans
encamped near London in three
Canadian battalions, one of which,
the 211th, has been called the new
American Legion because of its large
percentage of “boys from the states.”
The other two battalions are the
212th and 213th.
The 211th was called the Ameri
can Legion when it was formed out
in Calgary. While in process of
formation there it attracted Ameri
cans from any parts of the United
States anti Canada. It was only nat
ural that the members should cling
to their native designation when
they landed in England, especially
as the outfit numbered more Ameri
cans than any Canadian battalion
since the 97th which was known as
the original American Legion in the
Canadian army but which lost its
identity when it was broken up and
its members scattered among other
regiments, some c* which were sent
to the front and saw fighting on the
Somme.
Ever since their arrival here early
in January the men of 211th have
been crying for a taste of modern
warfare. Their training in the Cana
dian northwest made them hard as
nails and as is characteristic of the
American temperament they were
anxious to show results and quick
ly, too.
I uw v* m il tiic* iicnn ui nmci u a ri |

action spread through the camp the
officers were at once besieged with
inquiries as to how soon they would
be sent to the front. The men were !
told that no decision had been reach- I
ed. This, however, did not dampen !
the enthusiasm of the men over the
action of the country of their birth
and they went through their drilling
as never before. The news was like
a tonic to all, from the commanding i
officer, Lieutenant-Colonel W. M.
Sage, down to the most lowly pri
vate.
Nearly all of the officers of the
211th were born in the United States.
Colonel Sage is a native of New
York city, later going to Calgary
where he belonged to several Canad
ian regiments. He is known through i
the western part of Canada as a
crack rifle shot and has been an
instructor in the provisional schools
of infantry there.
A former New York state nation
al guardsman is second in command
of the so-called new American Le
gion. He is Major L. E. Clark, also
a native of New York city, where
he was born 33 years ago.
A Pennsylvanian is a quartermas
ter of the battalion. He is Captain
D. Trainer, who served in the Span
ish-American war with Colonel Roose
velt’s Rough Riders.
The medical officer is Captain VV.
K. Turner, formerly a surgeon in
Louisville. Captain Turner was born
in Flemingsburg, Ky.
The paymaster, Captain E. R. Ed
son was attached to the United
States coast and geodetic survey at
Seattle, where he resigned to join
the 211th.
Captain H. R. Sanborn, a native
of Petaluma, California, is a former
member of the Washington national
guard.
Lieutenant H. H. Jones served four
years in the Seventy-fourth regiment
at Buffalo.
There are many more officers from
all parts of the United States. In
fact, the battalion is full of capable
men who have left lucrative posts to
join the gallant fighters of the soil
of France.
