HOLD THEM IVAN!

Sir-Some of your readers will be admirers of Henry Lawson, Australia’s poet. Here are some lines I read the other day from Lawson that fit the present situation:"?*Tis the first round of the struggle of the East against the West, Of the fearful war of races-for the White Man could not rest. Hold them, Ivan! Staggering bravely underneath your gloomy sky; Hold them, Ivan! We shall want you pretty badly by-and-by. Fighting for the Indian Empire, when the British pay their debt; Never Britain watched for Blucher as she'll watch for Ivan yet! It means all ts young Australia-it means life or death to us, For the vanguard of the White Man is the vanguard of the Russ!"

AUSTRALIAN

(Wellington).
