THE LATEST MENACE.

An inspired statement published in New York declares that if the Allies crush Germany she will "arm every man, child, cat and dog" for the day of revenge. Tremble, my country, since that thou hast sworn To crush the Teuton menace once for all, To win fair peace for millions yet unborn, And free all Europe from a hateful thrall. This is thy task, but if thou se'st it through, Observe what things the Fatherland will do! Crush it and it will arm each infant sweet (Against such dears no Briton sure would shoot), Shall hands shall yield the sword and little feet Shall roam at large in Junkerdoni's jack-hoot. Jast as to-day, by Wilhelm's law divine, The Belgian babe precedes the firingline! If that, my country, doth not make thee pause, Remember that a beaten foe will send Its furious feline host, all teeth and claws, Of thine unhappy race to make an end. Yer, the fierce dachshund, like a footed snake, Shall face the music for his Kaiser's sake!

Dost tliou not tremble, England? Nay, I know Thine heart is staunch and true and strong thine arm, And where thy duty points thee thou wilt go The dogs of war shall cause thee no alarm, Since thou hast driven back to their despair ~ : Hejl who sacked Louvain
