EUROPEAN WAR NO. FOURTEEN.

Five battlts ragged in Poland
And Galicia where the grand
Great Field Marsha! Won Hindenburg
Is now in supreme sommand
OF the German and Austrian armies
And making tremtndious drive
To get possession of Warsaw
Either dead or alive.
The cost of cannon fodder
\ Is not regarded at all
Five zones of action on the line
| With slaughter that might appal
The world if it knew the secrets
OF war and the Russian surprise
By getting possession of railroads
To bring up troops and surprise.
God bless the Red Cross nurese
And all the women of France
Working in field and hospital
And where they can get a chance
The best to serve their country
And for lack of men
Near the ambulance and drive
Out to the fields of slain,
The Germans were surrounded
BY the Russians north of Lodz
They mounted guns on belfries
| OF churches and on roofs
Dug trenches in the streets
And the streets were filled with dead
The corpses used for breatworks
The correspondent said.
With bayonets and gun butts
The Germans fought their way
From curb to curb the corpses
We're piled up papers say
I All the horrors of that slaughter
+ No pen can fully tell
No chance the dead to bury
Dut left them where they fell,
FSix thousand German HussaFs
Were surraunded by the Russ
And the terrible machine guns
Moved them down like gras S
AT the battel field of Lodz
But fifty left to tell
sdow high the dead were piled in heaps
And winrows as they fell.
Drink deep O kings of glory
And captains of renown
'Glut yourselves with victory
Soon ther'll be sweeping down
A final day of Judgment
The deluge and the flood
And the curse of suffering millions
For all your creed of blood.
A Russian officer went to see
The Germans and drank sehnaps
Till his head got big sleepy
And he took some little maps
They slung the hipsy fellow
In hammock on two sticks
To get him home by night fall
And out of dangerous fix.
A bullet cut the rope
He came down with a flop
They threw him on the ground
And sat on him on top
He drew his sword and slashed one
The other took 1t away
Two hours the Russ and Germans
fought
And the Russians killed next day.
High up in air in belfry
OF great church in Crocow
A brave Knight blew a, call to arms
Six hundred years ago
When an invasion was threatened
And ere the call was done
An arrow pierced his armor
And battle had begun.
Since then the cal lhas sounded +
Every hour of night or day
But it never is completed
At the stave it dies away
Where the arrow brought bright death
To the trumpter of Crocow
The call is played without a break
Like six hundred years ago

that he will launch another invasion of

Thunderer-London's mighty Times-the

to find the time for midweek after
noon of golf is enough to mystify the

he is very keen o ngolf. 1t gave fine
opening and. of course, the inevitable
question was fired at him.

cliffe. with almost boyish enthusiasm.
i hope to send our two best profess

win your open championship. But l
cannot tell you the names Of the two
players, because l do not yet know
whom will send. 1t is too early to
select them.

and perhaps a very few made visits to
Scotland occasionally to play. But golf

Americans. In Scotland. of course. golf
