WORDS AND MUSIC
BY JUDGE BENET
Stirring Ballad of. Present War Com
posed by Former Carolinian
Has Martial Spirit.

The State.
"That Little Contemplate Army
is the title of quite a stirring ballad
of the present war which was COM
posed by Judge William Chr; site Ben
ei, former South Carolinian and
Columbian. Judge Benet wrote the
words several months ago and the
State printed them; subsequently
he composed the melody which was
arranged by Goodwin Foster and pub
l:shed by London music house,
West & Co., "a Rathbone Place, Ok
ford street, London. The verses
have good plain rhyme end the
music, written in six-eight time, has
a swing and a martial spirit that
should make it popular as {, march
ing tune for the allies.
The verses run thus:
The Kaiser ordered stout Won Kluck
"You must beat the British by hook
or crook;
Their cock-sure airs l can not
brook,
That little cc3tempt:6oie armv!
Although they're led by General
French
Their martial zeal you viii surely
Guench,
In M royal nostrils they're stencil,
That little contemplate army"
Won Klucll is every inch a man,
"I'll do" says he, ''the best can."
With that a three weeks fight began
With that little contemplate army.
70 the Kaiser then he made report,
"Cnpleasant, sire, III make it short:
For truth to tell we had poor sport
With that little contemplate army.
eve charged their line full three to
one,
And all that man could dare was done
Dut, Dunder and Bitten; they won'+
run,
That little contemplate army
We fought by day, we fought by
night,
