New York Times.)

Capt. George Steunenberg, the poet
soldier of the regular army, who is
famous as the author. of "The Cats
of Leayenworth" and "rhe Dogs of
Smelling" has produced another mas
terpiece, and this time it is at expense
of the German-trained army of Tur-
key.
1t is understood that Germany will
take no notice of this poem, which is
relief to the friends of Capt Steu-
nenberg, who feared that another
"Hock de Kaiser" affair might result.
That affair came near costing the com
mission of the late Rear Admiral
Joseph B. Coghlan.
Capt tSteunenberg's verses on the
German-tutored armies of the Sultan
were published for the first time in
the Army and Navy Journal. The
title of the poem is Our Object Les

OUR OBJECT LESSON.
The fighting in Macedonia is sore
subject with Germany. The Turkish
army was trained and its officers edu-
Gated under the German military sys-
tem.--Literary Digest.
Oh, bark We, Yankee soldiers From
far across the sea
Comes the news that Turkeys fighting
men were trained by Germanee!
That she faced the "Bull-Con" allies
single-handed and alone
With simple faith in Allah and our
deified Won Rohne.
And they say that on the morning
that the mighty battle broke,
That German-tutored army vanished
in whirl of smoke;
That their swords were all unsullied
and their guns were all forgot,
AS they sought the dim horizon in a
hasty Turkey trot!
A Montenegro major gave the flying
foe a glance,
Than rolIad q cioarotta ond ,oro+okoa
a match upon his pants;
And spake unto his gunners, Let 'em
have few more jolts-
That is if your shells can catch 'em-
they've been trained by Won der
Goltz!"
A Colonel of Bulgarians then tossed
aside his coat
And yelled, Come on, me heartiesl
Looks as if we had their goat!
Just follow Uncle Fuller to yon bat
ties merry whirl
While we show em how to do it
they've been reading Griepenkerl!"
Away for Constantinople the hosts of
Allah sped,
And the only ones that halted were
the ones that stopped the lead;
Quoth Servian lieutenant then, otis
evident to me
That yon army has been studying the
books of Won Moltkee;"
Said painting Turkish corporal-from
German teaching freed
"We'ain't much on formation, but we
sure are h for speed"
So they sprinted night and morning
till their lungs were fit to burst,
But they won the six-day Marathon
they reached the city first.
A tale that points a moral Most
anyone can see
That it's time to disregard the ways of
Jackson, Grant and Lee;
For the sacred Scripture tells us: Eye
shall know them by their works."
So we lift our hats to Won der Goltz,
the man who trained the Turks!
And now while Europe trembles on
the verge of deadly fray,
The dove of peace is cooling in the
good old U. S. A.
For, you bet, the foreign powers will
leave Uncle Sam alone
While our highbrows down at Leaven-
worth are studying Won Rohnel
And while the German eagle scars
above the Balkan storm,
1t strikes us as fitting time to change
the uniform;
Let's get one of those shiny things
they wear across the breast,
And add a cleaning helmet with an
eagle on the crest.
And down at sunny Leavenworth let
Dutch professors rule;
And build model brewery-an annex
to the school
A marble bust of Won der Goltz re-
splendent in the hall,
And photographs of Kaiser Bill adorn-
ing ev'ry wall.
And he who seeks promotion must
subsist solid year
On pretzels, cheese and weinerwurst,
and good old German beer;
And notify the Colonels-sound the
warning near and fari-. /
That they've got to sing "Die Wacht I
