BRUTAL GERMAN SONG OF TRIUMPH.
LONDON, August 4
A-song about the Lusitania is popular in Germany. It is sung in cafes, music-halls, and theatres. The following two verses indicate the brutal callousness of the whole:— The U boat's aim was good, Who doesn't choke, drowns in the 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 in all their lives.
