"D'YE KEN JOHN FRENCH."
'A NEW MARCHING SONG. 'A correspondent forwards the accompanying verses which aro said to bo the marching song of the London Scottish. They are sung to the tune of "D'ye Ken John Peel," and our correspondent suggests that they would be something fresh and bright for our men at present in camp to take up and march to. D'ye ken John French, with his Khaki suit, His belt and gaiters and stout brown boots, Along with his guns, and liis hose, and his foot, On the road to Berlin in the morning. Yos, we ken John French and old Joffre, too, And all his uicn to the tricolour true; And Belgians and Russians, a jolly good few, On tho road to Berlin in tile morning. Tho Prussian Kaiser must bo made to kneel, Tlio Prussian eaglo must bo made to feel The force ot the bullet and good cold steel, On the road to Berlin in tho morning. For the mothers they slow, and the kids as well, And for sundry things it's not fit to tell, We've got to catch aiul to givo 'em Hell, Oil the road to Berlin in tho morning. M.W.A.-
