THE LUSITANIA.
GERMANY'S REPLY. THE INCIDENT OLOBBB. & SMsivcd 4, (U0 pj». MU*a,' August 4. II Seeolo announc-Cd that, the forthcoming German Note will inform Araeriw that the Lu&itania incident is regarded as definitely closed, and Germany does not intend to reopen the question. CALLOUS HYMN OF JOY. (Times and Sydney Sun Services.) Received August 4, 8.40 p.m. London, August 4, The " Lusitania" song is popular in Germany, and it is sung in cafes, music halls and theatres. The following two verses indicate the brutal callousness of the whole song:— The U boat's aim was good; Who doesn't choke drowns in flood. Vanderbilt was there that day; The only one we missed was Grey. There lay the dead in Neptune's jaws, Most of them with scalded paws, England's sons, with their wives, Ne'er so still all their lives.
