O

The Yankees on the Marne

ACCORDING TO T. ATKINS

H, the English and the Irish, and the 'owlin' Scotties, too, The Canucks and Austryleyuns, and the 'airy French Pollu, The only thing that bothered us, a year before we knew, Was 'ow in 'ell the Yanks 'ud look, an' wot in 'ell they'd do.

They 'adn't 'ad no trynein', they didn't know the gyme,
They 'adn't never marched it much-their shootin' was the syme;
An' the only thing that bothered us that day in lawst July
Was 'ow in 'ell the line 'd 'old if they should run aw'y.

Them leggy, nosey new 'uns, just come across the sea-
We couldn't 'elp but wonder 'ow in 'ell their guts 'ud be.
An' the only thing that bothered us in all our staggerin' ranks
Was wot in 'ell 'ud 'appen w'en the 'Uns 'ad 'it the Yanks.
My word! It 'appened sudden w'en the drive 'ad first begun,
We seed the Yanks a-runnin'-Gaw blimy! 'ow they run!
But the only thing that bothered us that seed the chase begin,
Was 'ow in 'ell to stop them 'fore they got into Berlin!

They didn't 'ave no tactics but the bloody manual,

They 'adn't learned no horders but "Oooray!" and "Give 'em 'ell!"
But the only thing that bothered us about them leggy lads
Was 'ow in 'ell to get the chow to feed their "Kamerads !”

So we're standin' all together in a stiffish firin' line,
If anyone should awsk you, you can say we're doin' fine-

But the only thing that bothers us-an' that don't bother much—
Is 'ow in 'ell to get the dirt to bury all the Dutch.

Gaw's trewth! it's rotten fightin' that all our troops 'as seen,
The 'Un's a dirty pl'yer, becos 'e's alwus been;

But the only thing that bothers us in 'andin' 'im our thanks
Is 'ow in 'ell we'd done it if it weren't for the Yanks.
Oh, the English and the Irish an' the 'owlin' Scotties, too,
The Canucks and Austryleyuns, 'an the 'airy French Pollu,
The only thing that bothered us don't bother us no more,
It's why in 'ell we didn't know the Yankee boys before!

EMERSON HOUGH, of the Vigilantes.

N the opposite page we reproduce a photograph of the Filer and Mill Foreman of the Mill. The taller one is Mr. Terry, the Filer.

Note in the picture the string of twenty-six Chain Dogs, all of which have been cut with Disston saws. Mr. Terry advises that he has never had to retooth or braze the saw, and is continually encountering this type of iron, due to the fact that all their logs are rafted.

Mr. King states that Mr. Terry is the best filer in Western Kentucky, and as all who are acquainted with Disston saws are aware, the combination of a good filer and Disston saws is hard to be beat when it comes to making lumber of quantity and quality.
