A most diverting picture of
life in the trenches is drawn in
the December number of Corn
hill magazine. The writer is
Bovd Cable, his theme is “A
Hymn of Hate,” and he desc i! ■
the kind of conversation which
goes on between the German nr '
the allied trenches over a distance
of a short stone’s throw.
“The troons continue in e
cellent spirits,” said a recent of
ficial dispatch. That is the te:
on which the glory of the Tower
Bridge Rifles exchanging verbal
shots with the enemy is based:
A voice from the German par
apet: “Hullo, Tower Bri ’ •
Rifles! Pleased to meet you
again.”
British Not Surprised
The Englishmen were too ac
customed to it to he surpn-"' ‘
this uncannily prompt recogni
tion by the enemy of a newlv r e
lieving regiment, of which they
had not seen so much as a cap
top.
"Hullo! Boshy,” restored ore
of the Towers. “You’re makin*
a mistake tin’s time. We ain't
the Tower Bridges. We’re the
Kamshatka Highlanders.”
“An’ you’re a liar if you savs
you’re pleased to meet us again.”
put in another “If you’ve met
us afore I lay you was too dash
ed sorry for it to want to meet tv
again.”
“Oh, we know who you are, all
right,” replied the voice, “and we
know you’ve iust relieved the
Fifth Blankshires. and we know
who’s going to relieve you, and
when.”
“Knows a Blooming Heap”
“ ‘E knows a blooming hear).-'
said a Tower Bridge private dr
gustedlv. Then raising his voice
he asked, “Do you know when
Towers to he a master strok.
But in a moment came the retor
“You can’t take any more.
said the . voice. “You haven’t
shells enough.”
“Anyhow,” replied a British
corporal, “we aint short of
bombs. 'Ave a few to be goin'
on with,” and his party let fly.
Then a bit later.
Talking “Henglish.”
“Hi. there! Where’s that Soho
baric's assistant that thinks ’e
can talk Hengb'sh?” demanded
die Towers’ spokesman cheerful
ly.
That annoyed the English
speaking German, as, of course,
incidentally, it was meant to do
“I’m here,' Private Petticoat
lane,”, retmed the voice, “and
if I couldn’t speak better English
th"n 'mi I’d he shaming Soho.”
“You’re doing that anywav.
you bloomin' renegade dog ct°al
er.” called back the private. “W’y
didn’t you pay your landlady in
I unnon for the lodgin’ vou owed,
when you run away?”
Draws a Bullet
“Schweinhund !” said the voice
angrily, and a bullet slapped into
the pa-aret in front of the taunt
ing private.
Ater a while in good English.
.Yell make you learn German
when we’ve taken England.”
“Ch, it’s England yu’re takin’
now,” said Private Robinson.
“But all you’ll ever take of Eng
! nd Avill be the same as you took
before—a tuppeny tip if you
serve the soup up nice.”
“I got ’im,” said the corpora!
three minutes later. “One bloke
was looking with a periscope, and
I saw a little cap an’ one eye come
over the parapet. ‘E copped it
;ight enough-”
Demand an Orchestra.
After a while; “Now,, then,
where’s the orchestra?" demand
ed some, and the orchestra, one
mpV f-ll t-o-*a —' »' + 0*1" «"* r*f 1 y
• Home. «Then the Germans sany.
"F1 UtScllLiiuI ul>-r Hrcs" in fl'it
*' ' ' i111^ harmony and then
• • *
“T t- Watch on t v Pri
vtf Robinson and the rest of
the Towers recognized the song
and capped it in great glee with
“When we’ve wound up the]
w tch on the Rhine,’’ a parody
w hich does not go out of its way I
to spare German feelings.
“’An’ ’ow d’you like tint, ol’
sessidge scoffers?” demanded Pri
v'V Robinson loudly.
“You vat.” bellowed a guttural
voice, “Us vind you up quick!”
‘The ’Ymn of ’Ate.”
“’Ark!” said Private Robijjson
n eager anticipation, ‘I do be
lieve it’s—s’sh ! There,” trium
phantly, as again the Word rang
out—the one word at the end of
the verse- * * ^’England.”
"It’s it. It’s the ’ymn of ’Ate!'
Even man sat drinking the air
in eagerly, ad’nt every regiment
heard about the famous hymn,
onil longed to hear the tune? And
here it was being sung to them in
full chorus by the Germans them
selves. Oh, this was luck.
The mouth organist was Ifsten
ening as if afraid to miss a single
note.
“ 'Ave you got it, Snapper?”
whispered Private Robinson
Snapper, with his eyes fixed on
vacancy, began to play the aii
over softly and doubtfully.
“Let’s kid ’em to sing it again,”1
said Robinson. A louu “Ehtoie! ’
rang from the trench.
“Was you know vat we haf
sing?” asked a German voice
“It’s great, DutcUie. Sing it
again-” v
“You haf not understand,” said
the German angrily. Then a
clear tenor in the German trench
gave it in English. The Towers1
hugged themselves over their
stupenduous lark.
Before the last sound ©f it had
passed the singer had plunged

One fe.lt that it was emblema
tic, the heart and soul of the Ger
man people poured out in music
and words. 11 is majesty’s regi
ment of Tower Bridge rides was
most obviously not impressed
with fear and trembling. Priv
ate ’Encry Irving, clapping his
hands sore and stamping his feet
on the trench bottom, voiced the
:mpre'ssi<5n exactly.' “It beats
caturd.ay night in the gallery 6
"he Old Brit.”'he said enthusias
ticallv. “That Moke—blimy—’e
night to be doin’ the stab part at
Hrurv Lane.”
Each evening after that and
’ater on when marching to the
eserye billets the Towers made1
a particular point of singing the!
"Hvmn of Hate.” and the wild
’•ell of “England!” that came at
the end of each verse might a!
most hive pleased any enemv of
England’s instead of aggravatin'1"
them intensely to the extent of
many wasted rounds.
The Tommies’ Vers'on.
’Tte of the 'eart, an’ ’ite of the
'and,
'Ite by water, an’ ’ite bv land
'Oo do we 'ite to beat the band?
The answering roar of ‘Eng
'and!" startled the horse of a
brigadier. “What on earth are
‘hose fellows singing?” he asked
ane of his officers. He was told
md rocked with laughter
“What an extraordinary peo
nle!” was the comment of a
"rench staff officer.
\nd the best bit of the whole
:oke is that this particular regi
ment is English to the backbone!
WILL HAVE
NOTHING TO 00
WITH GERMANS
North Sidney (Can.) Herald.
Chevalier J. Enoch Thompson.
Spanish Consul, has started a
movement in Toronto to have no*
truck or trade with the Germans,
not only for the duration of the
war, but forever. The following,
document is now being circulated
"^llteumTersT*lM.a _u
jects are in favor of organizing n
'eague. the members of which are
to pledge themselves neither to
buy from, sell to nor trade with
Germans, nor to use German
goods, nor employ any Germans.
This league to be continued after
the war.”
Mr. Thompson suggests the fol
lowing as tenets of the league:
“Never to have any intercourse
with a German, either social or
commercial.
“Never to buy from or sell to
a German.
“Never permit a German arti
cle-in his house.
“Never to deal with a merchant
who keeps a single article of Ger
man manufacture in his store
“Never to travel in Germany
nor permit any of his family to
visit there.
“Permit no Germans to enter
Gnr.ada. except on higher terms
than Chinese—a head tax of
$1,000.”
Archduke Joseph Ferdinand,
commander of one of the Austrian
armies operating against .Russia,
is quoted as saying that, of all
the Russian troops, the Siberian
regiments offer the most deter
mined resistance to the Austro
German advance. “My army is
opposed to these Siberians,” the
Archduke is reported to have
told a Hungarian newspaperman,
“which means that in every effort
to advance we have to cone with
almost superhuman difficulties.
Please let people know at home1
that these successes cost us end
less sacrifices and great blood
shed."
The ashes of A. Ninomya, a
Japanese, who died in West
Beach, Fla. several days ago
are on the way to Japan by parcel;
uost. Shortly before his death |
Ninqmya requested that his bod) j
be cremated and the ashes sent
to Ehima, Japan, his birthplace
The ashes were placed in a metal
*-eceptahIe which was hermetica!-,
ly sealed.
