''Thou doth sleepeth in the sod"
Whilst the Christmas bells were ring

And the Heavenly angels singing,
Peace, and all good tidings bringing,
Thou doth sleepeth in the sod.
Whilst thou sleep and restful sleeping,
am kept by Gods own keeping;
And his blessings, am reaping,
Whilst thou sleepeth in the sod.
Whilst the battlefelds are strewn
With the bodies man hath mown,
In my dreams hear them moan,
Thou doth sleepeth in the sod.
Whilst the world is, full Of love,
Yet man, not God, doth will it SO;
To hear Of peace, know not where to

Thou doth sleepeth in the sod.

A special Christmas blessing send:
Peace on earth, unto the end. !"

 A great uproar interrupted the pre- mier and there were cries of They were all Hungarians! When quiet was restored Premier Wekerle con tinued:
 "l mention these fisures in order to describe the situation with perfect sincerity. also because our enemies will certainly portray these losses in an exaggerated fashion and perhaps also our public opinion

 In the entire advance and re- treat the Italian losses amounted to l50Ge), far surpassing our losses in dead wounded and sick
