Show REPRISALS V "In the house of lords yesterday Lord Kitchener Kitch-ener announced that our troops must be adequately ade-quately protected from asphyxiating gases by the use of similar methods." London Times. O England, in this hours of trial, When strident voices mount on high, Stand firm amid the troubled seas, And let the foolish tumult die. Descend not to the baneful hate Of "like for like;" your destiny Is far too great. Though you behold Your gallant sons in agony. Yet stoop not to the murderer's means, Up, England! Strike -with honest blows For Faith and Truth and Liberty, And leave dishonor to your foes. The patient heart that faces life, Learned in the lore of history, Has known the victor vanquished by The price he paid for victory. New York Evening Post. |
