New York Times, November 23. 1879
Ship after ship. and every one with high

From the robber-nest Of Helieoland the
German war-feet came.
Not victory or death they sought, but a
rendezvous of shame.
Sing out, sing out.
A joyful shout,
Ye lovers of the sea
The KAISER" and the "Kaserin'
The potentates Of piracy.
Are coming to surrender.
And the ocean shall be free.
They never dared the final fate of battle
on the blue:
Their sea-wolves murdered merchantmen
and Knocked the drowning crew.
They stained the wave with martyr blood.
but we sent our transports through !
What flags are these that dumbly droop
from the gaif O the mainmast tall
The black Of the Kaiser's iron cross, the
red Of the Empires fall
Come down. come down. ye pirate flags
yea, strike your cOlors all
The Union Jack and the Tricolor and the
Starry Flag o the West
Shall guard the fruit Of Freedoms war
and the victory contest.
The flags of the brave and just and free
shall rule on the oceans breast,
Sing out. sing out.
A mighty shout.
Ye lovers Of the sea !

The "Konig" and the ''Prinz,"
The robber lords Of death and sin.
Have GENE to their surrender.

Out In Front.

Out In Front.
After tea Lieutenant Stores of our
section came into the dugout and In
formed me that was "for" a reconnoi.
tering patrol and would carry six Mills
bombs.
At II 80 that night twelve men. our
lieutenant and myself went out In
front on patrol In No Mans Land.
We cruised around in the dark for
about two hours. just knocking about
looking for trouble, on the lookout for
Boche working parties to see what
they were doing.
Around two In the morning We were
carefully picking our way about thirty
yards in front Of the German barbed
wire, when we walked into Boche
covering party nearly thirty strong.
Then the music started, the fiddler rem
dered his bill, and we paid.
Fighting in the dark with a bayonet
Is not very pleasant. The Germans
took II on the run, but our officer was
no novice at the game and didn't fol-
low them. He gave the order "down
on the ground, hug 1t close"
Just in time, too, because a volley
skinned over our heads. Then In low
tones we were told to separate and
crawl back to our trenches, each man
on his own.
We could see the flashes of their
rifles In the darkness, but the bullets
were going over our heads.
We lost three men killed and one
wounded In the arm. II 1t hadn't been
for cur officers quick thinking the
whole patrol would have probably
been wiped out.
After about twenty minutes wait we
went out again and discovered that
the Germans had wiring party work
Ing on their barbed wire. We returned
to our trenches unobserved with the
information and our machine guns Inn
medlately got busy.
The next night four men were sent
out to go over and examine the Ger
man barbed wire and see If they had
cut lanes through 1t; If 30, this pres
aged an early morning attack on our
trenches.
OF course had to be one Of the four
selected for the job. It was just like
sending q fellow to the pndertaker's
to order his own coffin.
At ten o'clock we started out, armed
with three bombs, a bayonet and re-
ivolver. After getting into No Mans
Land We separated. Crawling four or

OF the program to q printing house IN
London. Then assigned the different
parts and started reheaFsing. David
Belasco would have thrown MP his
hands In despair at the material which
] had to use. Just imagine trying to
teach Tommy. with q strong coekney
accent, to impersonate Bowery tough
or Southern negro.
Adjacent to our billet was an open
deld. We got busy at one end Of Il and
constructed stage. We secured the
lumber for the stage by demolishing
an old wooden shack In the rear Of
our billet.
The first scene was supposed to rep
resent a street on the Bowery in New
York, while the scene Of the seeou1
act was the interior Of the Diamond
Palace saloon, also on the BoweFy.
In the play ] took the part Of Abe
Switch, farmer, who had come from
Pumpkinvilie Center, Tenn, to make
his tirst visit 10 New York.
In the first scene Abe Switch meets
the proprietor Of the Diamond Palace
saloon, a ramshackie affair which to
the owner was financial loss.
The proprietors name was Tom
Twistem. his bartender being named
Fiiiem Up.
After meeting Abe, Tom and Fillem
Up persuaded him to buy the place,
praising II to the skies and telling
wondrous tales Of the money taken
over the bar.
While they are talking. an old Jew
named key Cohenstein comes along,
and Abe engages him for cashier. After
engaging key they meet an old
Southern negro called Sambo, and
upon the suggestion Of key he is en-
gagged as porter. Then the three OF

session of this wonderful palace which
Abe has just paid $4,000 for. (Cur-
tain.)
In the second act the curtain rises
on the interior of the Diamond Palace
saloon, and the audience gets its first
shock. The saloon looks like pig
pen, two tramps lying drunk. on the
floor, and the bartender In Q dirty
shirt with his sleeves rolled up, asleep
with his head on the bar.
Enter Abe. Sambo and Key, and the
fun commences.
One of the characters in the second
act was named Broadway Kate. and ]
had an awful job to break In one OF
the Tommies to act and talk like
woman.
Another character was Alkah Ike. an
Arizona cowboy, who just before the
close Of the play comes into the saloon
and wrecks 1t with his revolver.
We had eleven three-hour rehearsals

The whole brigade was crazy to
witness the first performance. This
performance was scheduled for Frida.
night and everyone was full Of antici'
patton; when bangl orders came
through that the brigade would move at
two that afternoon. Cursing and
binding was the order Of things upon
the receipt Of this order, but we
moved.
That night we reached the little VII
lage of S. and again went into rest
billets. We were to be there two
weeks. Our company Immediately got
busy and secured the village for a
suitable place in which to present our
production. Then we received another
shock.
A rival company was already estab-
lished in the village. They called
themselves 1.-THE Bow Bells" and
put on sketch entitled. "Bhghty-

slonal concert party.
We hoped they all would be soon
In Blighty to give us a chance.
This company charged an admission
Of a franc per head. and that night
our company went en- .masse to see
their performance, It really was good.
I had sinking sensation when !
thought of running my sketch in op-
position to 1t.
In one of their scenes they had q
soubrette called Flossie. The soldier
that took this part was clever and
made Incorporating and chic girl.
We Immediately fell in love with her
until two days after. while we were
on a march, We passed Flossie with
''her" sleeves rolled up and the sweat
pouring from ''her" face unloading
shells from a motor lorry.
AS our section passed her I yelled
out: "Hello. Flossie; Blighty--What

Then except for an occasional billet
or brigade guard we were on our own.
For the first four or FIVE afternoons I
spent my time In bringing up to date
my neglected correspondence.
Tommy loves to be amused. and be-
