SONGS FOR THE
BRITISH 7 0 MN Y.
English Soldiers Inject Come
dy Into Everything Per-
aiming To Warfare.

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, June l9-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press)--A striking
feature of the British soldiers war
songs is their humor. Even the
French find 1t difficult to understand
how it Is that the Tommy apparently
looks upon as mere comedy what is
In reality the greatest tragedy in the
history of the world The truth is
that the British private has discov.
cred new philosophy appropriate to
modern war-he has discovered that
1t is too serious business to be talk
en- seriously. HumOr and flippancy is
the only antidOte to its unutterable
ghastliness.
In all the British soldiers songs,
the contrast to the songs of the Ger
man army is most striking. Here is
one which might well be called the
British soldiers Hymn of Hate:
"The bells of He'll 60 ting-a- -ling-a-
ling,
For you and not for me.
For me the angels sing-a-ling- ling,
They've got the goods for me.
o death, where is thy sting-a ling-a-
ling,
Where grave they victoree.
The bells of He'll go ting-a- -ling-a-
ling,
For you but not for me-"
That is the nearest he has ever ap.
preached to an expression in song of
his religious faith.
There is one song in particular
which might well be called the Song
of the British Army. Every soldier
at the front con sing 1t. It is to be
heard in every trench dug.out and bill
let in France. The words do not scan
and the music cannot be commended
for martial grandeur or delicate har-
monies, but it is Tommy Atkins mas
terpiece. 1t is almost dirge or la
ment. colored with Just that touch of
elusive Cockney humor which shows
that It is not to be taken seriously.
These are the words:

DUBLIN, June Correspondence
of The Associated Press) Irish farm
ers have been the most backward of
all classes in regard to recruiting for
the army
Standish O'Grady, distinguished
IRISH writer, the author of several
Irish novels and historical works, has
issued warning to them that, under
the Land Purchase acts, they hold
their lands by an act OF the Imperial
Parliament, that Parliament has ad-
vanced over G100,000,00 for the pur-
chase of the land from the landlords,
has handed 1t over to thousands of
peasant proprietors and is collecting
from them the purchase money by an.
nnal instalments less in amount than
their old rents.
Mr.. O'Grady reminds the farmers
that "in supporting an attempt to ov-
erthrow the authority of the Imperial
Parliament they are trying to over
throw the very power to which they
owe their existence as proprietors
and which alone can maintain them in
secure ownership"
"Is 1t likely" he asks, that the I'm.
