THE COMMANDANT AT FIUME.
[The Commandant at Fin me sends a protest to Sir Erie Drummond denying- that the League of Nations had a right to interfere in the Adriatic question. The protest added: “It is now dear-that the League is nothing but the representatives of the Great Powers wishing to impose hegemony on the rest of the world.” The Commandant sends greetings, on their solidarity to Ireland, India, and Egypt.—A. and N Z. cable.] O soldier ! a-dream by a classic sea, You have seen through the weft of things. And the hurricane words of hypocrisy From premiers, scribes, and kings; You scoff at the league of false-pretence— A n imperial bandit scheme! Oh deep have you plumbed in the wells of sense a.hat feed the imperial dream. O soldier ! a-dream by a classic sea, What greetings intense and grave ! Flung out from a centre of storm to be Flame-words for the young and brave. What matter at all whoever you war - You saw, and have spoken true To the girded folk who embattled are For a dream that fills me and you. T. P. Cummins. .
