To the Victor!
France crowns with laurel the dead American
aviator.
Tho’ the American mother mourns across the seas for her hero son, who has touched the skies in France, the foster mother lays her laurel of glory on the bier of Youth, whose brave spirit in passing welds an eternal bond of sympathy and union to the end.
GERALDINE FARRAR.
