President Lory dwelt par
ticularly upon the necessity
for united action and the CO
operation Of al classes Of occupa-

phasing the need of all class maxi

the sacrificing Of petty greed and
personal sellfishness and differences
in order that the boys At the front
may have adequate support and
announcement in the nations hour
Of need. He told his hearers plain.
ly that the task ahead was Q big
one: that the Huns were not con.
quered and that with the united
effort of all the Allies working har-
m0niOusly it might require years in
which to accomplish the task. He
thought the sacrifice ahead which
all would be required to make
would be great and that all should
be ready and glad to surrender
whatever privileges were NEEDED
that victory might be secured. Pres
ident Lory said one Of two things
must come out OF this war,-either
the Allies will win and the world
will be safe for democracy or Ger
many will win and the world will
be safe for autocracy. He deplor-
ed the strikes which interfer with
the most efficient conduct of the
war and he likewise deplOred divi-
sion or unrest or agitation among
any class or classes which interferes
with q maximum production and
the proper support of the boys at

he said, and the only great pro

London, July 2S,-(Correspond-

spite their four years OF fighting,

The Official view is for the fools.
But YOU believe in the Prussian
purpose behind all this, asked the
British officer.

the German. The Prussian pur-
pose is God. There is no other.
Prussia will rend the veil of the

In mere circuit court the case,

discovered that it is too serious a
business to be taken seriously. HUI
NOR and flippancy is the only anti
dote TO its unutterabel 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 we'll be called the
British soldiers Hymn of Hate:
THE bells of He'll go ting-a-ling-a-
ling,
For you and not for me.
For me the angels sing-a-ling>aling
They've got the goods for me.
o death, where is thy sting-a-ling-a-
ling,
Where grave try victory.
The bells Of He'll go ting-a-ling-a-
ling,
For you but not for me. y"
That is the nearest he has ever
approached to an expression in song
of his religious faith.
There is one song in particular
which might we'll be called the
Song of the British Army Every
soldier at the front can sing it. 1t
is to be heard in every trench, dug
out and billet in France. The words
do not scan and the music cannot be
commended for martial grandeur or
delicate harmonies, but it is Tommy
Atkins masterpiece 1t is almost a
dirge or lament, colored with ust
that touch of elusive Cockney hui
NOR which shows that it is not to be
taken seriously. These are the
words
"I want to go ONE.
ii want to go 'ome.
The shells and the whizzbaugs they
rush and they roar
| don't want to go to the trenches
no more.
want to go over the sea
Where the TeutonS cannot catch
me;
Oh, my
| want to go 'omc.
One can imagine German over
hearing this song and drawing GER
tain infercnccs as to the singers
morale. But the British soldier will
utterly confound those inferences
every time. He has great weakness
for sentimental love songs which
remind him of home and of asso-
Citations that lift him out of the SOM
bre surroundings of his camp or bill
let.
Tommy Atkins has all the intense
reserve Of the Briton. To sing abort
fighting for freedom against the enc
mics OF right, for the sake of the
flag, and all the rest OF it, strikes
himas indecent. The more flamboy-
ant type of patriotic songs, which
proclaims with gusto that sol
dier's life is the only life 10 me and

He has no Illusions as to the
glories OF modern warfare. One OF
