British War Songs.
Behind the British lams in France
June 25 (Correspondence of The As-j

the British soldier's war songs is thei. }
humor, atven the French Hnd it tin j

Tommy a|?paiently looks upon as mOl
eeaeody what is in reality tiie greatta

The truth is that the Biitleh private

pioiriate to modern war he has dia
CUV?red that it It too serious a busi
til Im- taken seriously. Hum u
and ifippanoy is the mils antidote to
its unutterable ghastllneen
in all the British soldier's songs,
the I ontrast to the songs of the Ger
man army is most striking. Here is
. ne which might well be calh ..
British soldier's hymn of hate;
ihe belli or iteii go tlne>a*llng-a<

That Is the nearest he has ever ap 1
proaehed to an expression in song o j
his rellgtoua1 faith.
There is one song in particular
which might well be oa I led the Bon;:

There Ii ;i savin- to the effect th:i*
nil that is necessary with some people
i- to give tliem plenty of rope and
they will hang themselves. This say?
ing has been abundantly Illustrated in
tin- ease of ths Honorable Coleman
Livingston Blosse. For years he lias
had nil the rope that any one could
possibly desire. Us has gone over the
country, up and down the valleys and
the byways, denouncing the people
who dared to disagree with him, pro?
claiming htmseli the especial defendoi
.?f eerti in classes of our cltlsens. He
?.vas loyal to his friends beyond that
of any man who ever had friends. Hi*
slogan was "I stand by my friends."
and m. ny of these people deceived
stood by him regardless of conse
cueneos. They closed their bars toj
reason, ami to personal appeals of all
kinds and literally gave themselves
up into the hands ?,f Mr. BlOase.
!t seemed that here would never b
an end to tills ki.ul of thing. Tin
rope grew longer, but the final d ?y
arrived, lie got so much rope that
I.'- did not know what lo do with i!
and now In- limls it wound about his
feet, ami all around his body, from
tie end to the other. He has abaut
i
.cached ihe place where he can no
i IOVS hand or foot, and his one tim
friends are turning away from him in
this pitiful plight. This all came
boot by giving Mr. BleOOS plenty o
rope, One ?luv he went too far. II

shocked his moot ardent admirers
Tiny OOUld not swallow him an
longer, He felt sure, when he m.nb
that rllberl speech, that it woul ?
prove a great big boost for him. That I
tin- boys would take it up ami i '
would land him safe into the Unltei
States senate where he could let Mr.
