“TIPPERARY” IN CHINESE.
—- - • The fame of "Tipperary,” according to an American publication called the "Cartoons Magazine,” has reached China, where the native newspapers print their own version of the famous war song. The literal translation of the chorus is :■ —■ This road is far from Ti-po-licl-li, We must walk for many days, This road is far from Ti-po-liel-li, I want to see my lovely girl, To meet again Pi-ko-ti-li (Piccadilly). To see again Lei-ssu Kwhei-lir (Leicester Square), This road is far from Ti-po-liel-li, But my heart is already in that place.
