MADE IN GERMANY.

The following verses have been published in Araeiioa: — In the days of peace for the world of Trade They stamped their mark on the goods they raudo. But never again will they flaunt their name, For tliey have made it a badge of hliimiio. They've Htrippol it bare of its out ward pride, • And shown tlie greed and the lust 'inside, And men will shudder wheuo'or they see Hell's label red - " Made iu Germany." Before their eyes dead men will float Who were left to die in an open boat, To the end of Time will pictures rise Of demons high in tho summer skios. Seeking the haunts where the wound* ed lie, , To murder them as they hurry by, Nor all their skill nor thoir art will hide The captive toy whom they crucified. , A little ohild with his right hand gone . Will live when the years have travelled on, As the sign of tho German heart and schools With the orimson blood of tho biibea iu pools And the innocent dead with their faoes fair, Bombed by cowards high in air. Will rise long after the war shall cease, To shame tho Uun iu the years of peace. IMo by Germans! Men will start A« rtwy'see that badgo in the trader**' wart On whatever the «t»mp of shame is seen/ There will be the taint of a thing unclean They bwo, fouled with sin what was once t'ltejr pride, A':d they shall h>o by the world denied; For wherever that mark through (he years is wet, Tbero srjlji rfaa tbo scenes men can't forget,
