THE KAISER'S VICTIMS.
Oyer the barriers of your dead yon c itm b ™ e ]aln a - Te ° n WBTe aCTOaS Qle tortured" And pay for every rood of reeking slime Itß myriad toll of newly-slain, And ever, where your legions on us broke dose-packed to give them courage' drugged and driven, Out line has held as when a forest oak Eocks to the storm but stands unriven. How long before the horror grows too 'Tim Before yon tire of playing the dumb slave's part, Sent to his death to suit a master's whim. And something snaps within yom- heart? For yon have lost the old illusion's snelL The faith that yon were called of Heaven to fight Against the onset of the lords of hell Leagued to destroy the sons of light. Now, when that faith is blown to barren How long, I wonder, will yon care to ale tr °t c word a mau ma y Nor any Cause except a be? —OWEN SEAMAN, la "Punch."
