Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Iowa Day and Patriotism: Friday, October Twenty-Fifth, Nineteen Hundred Eighteen
May the people of Iowa respond most heartily to this call. More than all else, may the appreciation of our people for what the fighting Iowans in foreign fields are doing be so voiced in prayer, in story, in song and in speech, that our gallant soldier lads, hearing that the Hawkeye state is back of her sons, will leap to their posts of duty, go over the top and never stop in their onward march to Berlin until the military and autocratic spirit of the despicable Hun is broken; so that, never again will those who love freedom be called upon to wage war in her or any other name.
