More than thousand souls went down,
With fendish glee they let them drown,
While flags were hung in every town.
To make a German holiday
A little nation brave and bold,
Which dared the war-Hun's line to hold,
Was wracked with horrors never told,
To make German holiday!
A nurse was shot at dawn one day
brand Whitlock pied in yain they say),
For that in love she went her way
To make a German holiday!
A treaty solemn, true and fair,
Became "a scrap of paper there,
Because the tiger left his lair
To make hdeOuS holiday,
To get full place within the sum-
With room for not another one
AutOcracy and commerce won
To make a kaiSerS holiday!
To crush cathedras at word
And slaughter millions with the sword
nations artisans depOrt,
Five races rape and Starve as sport
To throttle progress for an age.
BY pridefu force her life to gauge
This is Germania's hope and creed,
This Is her purpose and her deed
"To make German holiday?"
Not so! A world aroused replies
Who crushes ALL as surely DIES,
Men cannot live by force and lies
ITO make a German hOliday!"

Then, to prove the harmlessness of
the remedy, Prof. Drew at four tea
spoonfuls of sawdust in a "synede."

sounds. 1t consists of lettuce, toma-
