They found to their surprise, however, that "Kitchener's men" were moro than a match even for crack corps like the Brandenburgers. — Cablecram .
Fritz thought he was an amateur — That new man In tho ring — But now he has. m sad surprise, A dlfTront song to sing. Blind, battered, bleeding, down and out. He's stretched upon tho tloor; And there ho waits the final count, Resolved to have no more.
