"AND EARTH IS CLEAN AGAIN!"
A stirring poem, "The. Avengers"—to our. soldiers in the field — appears in "Punch" above the initials of the editor, Sir Owen Seaman: Not only that your cause is just and right— This much was never doubted; war or play, Wo go with clean hands into any fight; ■ ,'', That is our English..way :— Not this high thought alone shall brace your thews To trample under heel those vandal hordes Who laugh when blood of mother and babe.imbrues ■-■'. Their damned craven swords. ■On each, without distinction, worst,or best, '~... Fouled by a nation's crime, one doom, must fall; Be you its instrument, and leave the rest To God, the Judge of all. Let it be said' of you, when sounds at length Ovor the final field the victor's strain:— ' '< ".They struck at infamy with all their strength," And earth is clean again!"
