Liber Got. Die Yankees ISIS
Coming"

Yes, the Yankees are coming to save
honor for the wife,
To save virtue for the daughter which
she values more than life.
To save freedom for the nations, to
save liberty for mankind,
TO save freemen's limbs from shackles
that tyrant aims to bind,
And to save for a war-wrecked world
the lives and treasures that mad
vandals have not yet to destruc-
ton hurled,
And with their coming is also coming
retribution for a human fiend who
has shown the treachery of Jul
das towards the people of a small
nation that stood between him
and the goal of his hopes, and
the cruelty of a Nero towards
these subjugated ones who,
helpless before the guns of his
soldiers, were made victims of un-
speakable acts of atrocity.
For this monster there awaits a reck-
oning day,
And a niche in hell where he'll fit
well when death calls him away
1t awaits him for his having caused
rivers of blood to flow
Ger Belgium's peaceful lands where
lived those who were not his foe,
For the widows and orphans of loved
ones that, uncoffined, now sleep
in a trench meath the sod,
Will be avenged, without fear, who
their murderers appear before
the tribunal of an outraged God,
For he who skaters by death the
shell containing Gods breath
Unless he's fighting for a righteous
cause,
Must pay with his soul an eternal toll
For his fracture of the chief Of Gods
laws,
Well, as the Kaiser will get his from
hell fire.
What coming to our boys from shell
fire ?
What awaits our brave lads who will
soon cross the seas to where
whistling bullets seek out those
whom fate has decreed must die
on the battlefield
What does fate hold for our heroes
bold who will soon sail away ?
What is in store for the million or
more who soon will take part in
the fray ?
To some will come a soldiers death, to
others a heroes life,
For some there1l be life long misery
from limbs mangled in wars
strife
And few there II be who will not con-
tribute some of their life fluid to
the great red flood made by gey-
sers of blood
That are gushing from wounded and
slain,
And that will engulf in despair war
lords everywhere
When the white dove of peace comes
TO reign,
And when the dove of peace reigns
then wars hellish pains
viii be confined to a region where
dwell
Those without heavenly hope who
even in agony grope
To seize and rend fellow sufferer in
hell

MOLASSES FLOWS
AT FLOODS PARK
New Kind OF Tank Is To Be
Discovered About Historic
Old Locality.

In The old days when Jack Flood
sold booze at Ferry Point in the not
distressingly "war-time-dry section
of Anne Arundel, and called his place
Floods Park" the resort was noted
for the tanks" that were dlled there,
many of them to overlooking But the
biggest tank that Flood ever filled
with his booze was mere nothing in
comparison with the tanks that today
are under construction on the very
spot where beer used to flow while
the corpulent actresses" sang and
did their little part when they were
not persuading the customers TO buy
more
The new tanks are four in number
or will be when they are completed
and workmen are rushing ahead as
fast as they can go. The tanks are
being constructed for the Industrial
Alcohol Company. which has its plant
nearby, and they are TO hold not
alcohol, but molasses. The trees that
made Floods Park attractive from the
waterfront have all been cut down
and the sharp point that juts out in
10 the creek is open 10 the sun, and
right on the point starting just below
the former entrance to the park have
been laid the concrete foundations for
the four enormous tanks.
The business of the Alcohol Com
pany has grown so rapidly that its
facilities have TO be enlarged, and
when the four new molasses tanks are
finished the capacity for storing the
raw material will have been greatly
increased. Other additions TO the
plant are also being made.
The molasses comes from Cuba and
ships will run right alongside the old
site of Floods Park and unload their
cargoes into the tanks. The alcohol
is made from molasses.
