*' r riE CALL" (Lines addressed to the Conscientious Objector and other Slackers.) Do you hear the drums a-beating? Can you hear your country's call ? Are you men, or just weak cowards, With ne'er a heart at all? ? Would you give the breast that fed you Or your sisters one by one, Through a coward criminal folly To the mercy of the Hun? Do you hear the bugle calling? They are marching down the glen, Docs it stir the blood within you, This crowd of eager men? For the freedom that they fight for, For the birthright of your sires Carry the fiery cross to-night And light the beacon fires. We who have lived as free men In an island girt by sea, While the hot blood flows within us Will keep her great and free. Co with the fcejd of '.wards Beyond our sight and ken! We have no room for weakling;;, Your country calls for men. I would rather shed my heart's best blood And draw my latest, brfijuh, Than be so p< or a tuir>£ in life, So domne r l a thing in Egypt. WAX. GERMAN SEAPLANE COMEDY.

The curious procession was observed from Vanborg by a Swedish patrol boat, wliicit. immediately went' out, but the Germans on seeing this, managed to turn and escaped into international waters, shortly after which an armed German trawler appeared 071 the scene and towed them southwards. * The Zusanne continued lieri voyage to England without being further molested.
