THE ROLE OF SHAME.
.Louvain, Itheims and Dixnuule, where the innocent lio slain, J>v the order of the German lord, to further German gain. Scarborough, Hartlepool and Yarmouth, where the baby-killers came, Just to add afresh the horrors to the tiennan roll of shame. Lust, sacrilege and murder are the order of the day, Any deed, however brutal, so that Germany holds sway; Broken pledges, broken honor, these the things of which they brag, Any deed, however awful, to uphold the German Hag. With their army rolling backward, tlieir navy in a trap, Their commerce swept from oil the sea till it isn't worth a rap. Their honor as a nation gone for ever and for aye, The result of looking forward to that boastful word, the ''day." What a record for the future generations vet to collie As' the cries of stricken IVlgium hold the tongue forever dumb'; And the world will aye remember, at tile Lusitnnia's nami-. All the deeds of brutal horror on the roll of shame. .11. .1, JiXGU'iriKLB. (Koru, May IS.
