Crown Princess.
Led by Wilhelm, as you tell.
God has done extremely well;
You with patronizing nod
Show that you approve of God.
Kaiser. face question new
This-does God approve of you?
Broken pledges, treaties torn,
Your first page of war adorn;
We on fouler things must look
Who read further in that book,
Where you did in time of war
And that you in peace foreswore.
Where you, barbarously wise,
Bade your soldiers terrorize,
Where you made-the deed was fine
Women screen your firing line,
Villages burned down to dust,
Torture. murder, bestial lust.
Filth too foul for printers ink,
Crimes from which the apes would
shrink
Strange the offerings that you press
On the God Of Righteousness.
Kaiser, when you'd decorate
Sons or friends who serve your State,
Not that Iron Cross bestow
But Cross of Wood, and so
SO remind the world that you
Have made Calvary anew.
Kaiser, when you'd kneel in prayer
Look upon your hands, and there
Let that deep and awful stain
From the blood Of children slain
Burn your very soul with shame,
Till you dare not breathe that Name
That now you glibly advertise
God as one of your allies.
Impious braggart, you forget;
God is not your conscript yet;
You shall learn in dumb amaze
That His ways are not your ways,
That the mire through which you trod
Is not the high white road Of God.
To Whom, whichever way the combat
rolls.
We. fighting to the end, commend our
souls.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The sanguinary strife in Eu'

the barbarism of war must cease; it is
the antithesis of a progressive, modern
civilization. and abhorrent to Christian
teaching. France and England. with
their allies. are fighting the battles o.
