The Charge Of The Tank Brigade

Shade of Tennyson, forgive)
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
Moved like the scythe of Death
Tanks, by the hundred.
Boche bullets harmless glide
Down from their metal hide,
While from that steely He'll
Showers of shot and shell
Volley'd and thunder'd.
Was there a Boche that stayed
To see how they were made?
Not when each Fritzie feft
His hours were Numbered.
Theirs not to peek and pry,
Theirs not to wonder why,
Theirs but to sprint, or die.
Straight to Berlin they fly,
Huns by the hundred.
Tanks to the right of them,
Tanks to the left Of them,
Tanks back and front surround
Fritz, Hans. and Herman,
Rolling the wires straight,
Onward they navigate,
Crushing each creature that
Smells like a German.
What is that yellow streak
In the dim distance? Speak.
Is it a circus freak?
Has Nature Numbered?
Hush. IT'S the kaiser's kin,
Trying to follow in
Vain his retreating chin.
Small blame you wondered.
Honor the Tank Brigade!
Honor the fleet that made
Every last Boche afraid
Prussia was sunder'd,
End all this sin with them,
Help US to win with them.
On to Berlin with them!
War Lord, Who blunder'd.
Vida Savage Owens.

NEW SUBSCRIPTION RULING

1t is seldom that this paper
mentions in its editorial columns
matters so closely related to the
business office as that of pay
ments on subscription accounts.
1t has been our policy to handle
subscription accounts in a rather
liberal and haphazard manner.
We have faith in the honesty of
the average man and woman and,
with the exception of mailing
statements bi-annually to SUBJ
scribers, have allowed them to
settle their subscription accounts
with US just as they felt like it.
We have lost very little money
by this method. The majority of
people intelligent enough to re-
alize the value of the local paper,
have been awake to the necessity
of meeting their financial obliga-
tons and have done so more or
less promptly.
We now face a condition not of
our own making or choosing.
The War Industries Board, in the
section related to paper conserva-
ton, has decred that all weekly
papers, beginning October /,
shall not carry any subscriber
who may be more than three
months in arrears and that all
subscriptions must be paid in ad-
vance.
We can do nothing but obey
this order. Statements are now
in progress of preparation for
every subscriber whose renewal
is now due. Those who are more
than one year in arrears will be
discontinued after September Is.
Those who are three months in
arrears will be discontinued after
October l.
