Of shifty propaganders;
Henceforth we'd better all get back
On to the straight and righteous track
And help our HINDENBURG to hack
(If not too late) through Flanders.

O.S.

THE CARP AT MIRAMEL.

[In the following article all actual names, personal, geographical
and regimental, have been duly camouflaged.]

The carp that live in the moat of the Château de Miramel (in the zone
of the armies in France) are of an age and ugliness incredible and
of a superlative cynicism. One of them--local tradition pointed to a
one-eyed old reprobate with a yellow face--is the richer these hundred
years past by an English peeress's diamond ring.
