The funniest' episode of the war so far has been.the formal annexation of Shakespeare by Germany, comments an Australian weekly. It was a bloodless viotory, England offering not the slightest -resistance. : The event was an-, nounced in a theatre of Leipsic before tho rising of the curtain on ''Twelfth Night." A special prologue was written for the ..historic occasion by one Ernest Hardt, of Weimar, arid it was recited by the Fool in attendance on, Olivia,. It referred to Shakespeare as' a. man who "was godhead by , his works." / England waß his "first and native home," biit that country has now become so "contrarious" and '"abhorred," and so repugnant to his .proud, free-born spirit, "that ,he doth find himself quite homeless there." Hence, as a fugitive he seeks a second home in Germany, "which loves him .most of all." Aiid the prologue, which ought to find an, enduring place in tho world's catalogue ,of unconscious humoUr, winds up .with the Bard of Avon b&postrophisjng the country ruled by ®tho Royal Babykiller :— Thou wonderful and noble laijd! , Remain.thou Shakespeare's one and , only home, So that lie not uncomprebondod, Without a shelter in the barren world.
