COMRADES OF THE MIST
Where the long bridge spans the
mighty Forth,
Twixt towering headlands bold,
And thin white fog drifts silently
Dank and gray and cold;
There, lean, grey ships ride quietly,
Their guns by the salt breeze kissed
power
Our comrades of the mist.
When the north wind whipped the
frothing sea,
And drove the biting spray;
When the great fleet smashed the
towering wave
And sped upon it's way:
When the mighty ships tossed
restlessly,
And driving rain squalls Kissed
How proud were we to sail the sea
With'our comrades Of the mist.
Down through the years that are to
come,
When we've gone our several ways,
To the farthest corners of the earth
That bask in the suns warm rays,
We will dream of the days when we
were part
OF Britain's strong mailed fist
When we kept the sea and nations free
With our comrades of the mist.
THE SURRENDER

Their dull hulks loom against the
gloom
OF the fog banks dismal gray;
Their pace so slow, we scarcely know
The ships are under way.
The smoke, dead black, creeps from
the stack
And hangs as a listless pail;
Black standards drape like funeral
crepe,
And death lies over all.
The silent guns of the sullen Huns
No more their voices Use
Yet mute. acclaim the burning shame
OF the high sea fleets last cruise.

The bow waves curl in foaming swirl
AS we speed our several ways.
The forced draft roars while gray
smoke pours,
And is lost far down alea;
Our colors fly at the top mast high
Bright flags of victory.
Our guns are manned and ready stand
To speak with threats aaame:
To the cult of might, who dared not
fight,
And would not play the game.

age, the commission said. This ala not
include surplus army foods.
The fact that stocks OF many impor-
tant foods were much larger on June
4 1919. while prices were as high or
higher. apparently, means that they
are being withheld speculatively, for
world demand. which is not now here,
hut which is expected when hunger i'm
pelled strikes secure higher wages with
which higher food prices can be paid,
the commission said.
The food stocks tabulated by the
commission from figures furnished by
the Bureau OF Markets, are those IN
wholesale establishments. warehouses
and cold storage plants. The prices are
