reached these brute ideals in camp and Court; Though lives of brave and gentle foes be spilt, That loathe this coward sport; On each, without distinction, worst or best, Fouled by a nation's crime, one doom must fall; Be you its instrument, and leave the rest To GOD, the Judge of all Let it be said of you, when sounds at length Over the final field the victor's strain:-- "They struck at infamy with all their strength, And earth is clean again!" O. S. * * * * * HOW GERMANY CAME OFF. (_Extracts from a diary kept at intervals by a very special correspondent in the Dardanelles._) _GOEBEN_ arrives Dardanelles. Announcement of sale to Turkey and of disembarcation of German crew. _Goeben_ still in Dardanelles.

The German crew of the _Goeben_ are agitating for an eight-hour day. Instructions having reached the crew of the _Goeben_ to return to Germany, a magnificent Farewell Disembarcation took place last night. At its conclusion sympathisers presented an illuminated address bearing the following inscription "To the crew of the _Goeben_ on the occasion of their final disembarc
