THE BATTLE OF JUTLAND
(By Groesbeck Walsh in the Father

(By Groesbeck Walsh in the Father
Jellicoe speaks:
Hard pressed we were off Denmarks
coast,
The bitter day was done;
Around us rolled our battered fleet.
! thought the foe had won.
When up to wndward rose the cry:
Here comes the New York sun.
They came. they came-Lord bless
them all
The Tribune. Times. and World;
Crash went their linotype machines
A million sheets unfurled
And sixty special "wrte-up" men
Upon the foe We're hurled
In proud array they swept me by,
| read their signal then:
odd England. harm will never some
While we can WELD pen,
One afternoon edition. dear
Is worth ten thousand men.
They. sank the Yorck. the Won Der
Tam,
The Kaiser and the Room.
The Moltke passed at two o'clock
The Seydlitz just as soon;
An Extra" got the rest Of them
At five that afternoon.
The Sun with keener foresisht-or
The hour rowing late
Had interned ten in Denmark to
oa tannrroxy'S hate.
The Herald dragged them from their
And sent them to their fate.
What struck me most about them
was
The lust they had for gore,
They sank each shuddering German
ship
And called aloud for more.
And when they found they'd fin shed
them,
1t seemed to make them sore.
They cheered with joy at agony,
They laughed aloud at pain;
Such lack Of love for humankind
Was never on the Main.
And some they'd sunk year ago
They sank them once again.
Manhattan held their bodies safe
In luxury and ease.
Their spirit roamed abroad and held
The mastery of the seas.
Two thousand leagues? No range at
To warriors like these.
They proved beyond a shade of doubt
My story was absurd
We had not lost a single man.
1t could not De, NV word!
Next day they sank six German ships
Whose names I'd never heard!
So bless again these valiant friends,
Unerringly they shoot
Yet crave no ship as prize of war;
Nor gun, nor land, nor loot.
But seek and find their hearts desire
In licking Britain's boot.
Their love survives two bloody wars,
Their hope will never down;
Their lips are with the Stars and
Stripes,
Their hearts are with the Crown;
They bend one knee where Wall
Street is
And one toward London town.
XII
Men read the battle tale to seek
What profit may afford;
What gun. what ship, what speed will
bring
Their theories in accord
To me it taught one thing: "rhe Pen

BULGARIA AND PEACE

Bulgaria has been more successful

attaining the end for which she en-
tered the war. She has completed the
occupation Of practically all Of the
Serbian territory that she coveted. and
by her recent advance into Rumania
she has gained more o. The Dobrudja
than she originally claimed. The
visit of the German prince Adeloert
to Sofia thus creates the conjecture
that she may have no desire TO con-
