id to be rung by order occasionally to announce
some supposed German victory.)_

The Bells of Berlin, how they hearten the Hun
_(Oh, dingle dong dangle ding dongle ding dee;)_
No matter what devil's own work has been done
They chime a loud chant of approval, each one,
Till the people feel sure of their place in the sun
_(Oh, dangle ding dongle dong dingle ding dee.)_

If Hindenburg hustles an enemy squad
_(Oh, dingle dong dangle ding dongle ding dee,)_
The bells all announce that the alien sod
Is damp with the death of some thousand men odd,
Till the populace smiles with a gratified nod
_(Oh, dangle ding dongle dong dingle ding dee.)_

If Tirpitz behaves like a brute on the brine
_(Oh, dingle dong dangle ding dongle ding dee,)_
The bells with a clash and a clamor combine
To hint that the Hated One's on the decline,
And the city gulps down the good tidings like wine,
_(Oh, dangle ding dongle dong dingle ding dee.)_

The Bells of Berlin, are they cracked through and through
_(Oh, dingle dong dangle ding dongle ding dee,)_
Or deaf to the discord like Germany, too?
For whether their changes be many or few,
The worst of them is that they never ring true,
_(Oh, dangle ding dongle dong dingle ding dee.)_

Warfare and British Labor

By Earl Kitchener, England's Secretary of State for War

In his speech delivered in the House of Lords on March 15,
1915, Earl Kitchener calls upon the whole nation to work, not
only in supplying the manhood of the country to serve in the
ranks, but in supplying the necessary arms, ammunition, and
equipment for successful operations in various parts of the
world.

For many weeks only trench fighting has been possible owing to the
climatic conditions and waterlogged state of the ground. During this
period of apparent inaction, it must not be forgotten that our troops
have had to exercise the utmost individual vigilance and resource, and,
owing to the proximity of the enemy's lines, a great strain has been
imposed upon them. Prolonged warfare of this sort might be expected to
affect the morale of an army, but the traditional qualities of patience,
good temper, and determination have maintained our men, though highly
tried, in a condition ready to act with all the initiative and courage
required when the moment for an advance arrived. T
