FOUR GERMAN SHIPS.

[BY A. IV. BEES]

Four German ships sailed out to sea-

Ho, bullies, havo a paw!!— With turrets clear and tompions free

And shotted guns and all;

With a sholl for Poll and a shell for Jane

And a shell for the kids at play... Which isn't the game for you and me.

It would mean throw 6.00 ing back civilization by centuries and the 3.00 relapse of Egypt into barbarism. He 5.00 writes

~ 8.00 is like the difference between day and

5.00 night, -If the English were really driven permanently out of Egypt, Islam would raise its hood high above all Africa, and 10.00 shut the door completely to the Christian 6,90 faith. Egypt, which since the English 2.00 occupation has for the first time in muay 5.00 centuries learnt to know right and justice, 5.00 would relapse again into the old systom 6.00 of Turkish official bribery and corruption, 6.00 and the population would be faced by a 6.00
