"The Rising Sun"  

(With which is incorporated "The Honk!")  

JOURNAL OF THE A. I. F., FRANCE.  

No. 2. SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE. JANUARY IST, 1917. PRICE %D.  

19 17.  

Two thousand year ago the steel Two thousand years ago came ONE  

Of Caesardom had sway-- To cleave that law in twain,  

Strong arm, brute will the only weal; So truth and right should give, alone,  

Ravage the only way. The privilege to reign.  

They peace deserved from Caesar's sword Cod that this year may end the blow  

Who owned him as their overlord. HE struck two thousand years ago.  

WHAT IS AN "' ANZAC?  

correspondent (8.P.) writes: "Of what nationality  

is man who states he was born in France, who  

speaks with Cockney accent, but asserts that he  

is an Australian. Is he really an Anzac  

That depends upon whether such thing as  

"an Anzac exists and, if so, what it is.  

For learned and complete explanation of the  

subject we may refer our readers to the Daily  

Mail" of December 26, which states  

The word Anzac' is popularly supposed to  

be kind of acrostic composed of the initial letters  

of the principal words in the military designation  

of the Australasian forces when operating at the  

Dardanelles Australian and New Zealand Army  

Corps'. It would appear, however, from inquiries  

made by the Australian Commonwealth Depart-  

ment in London that the word is Arabic, and that  

its attribution to the above-mentioned source is  

merely coincidence or the result of association of  

ideas. It is said that the nearest approach to the  

correct spelling of the word in English would be  

Anzak and that, as it means to cause to  

jump," it may have been suggested by the nick-  

name kangaroos,' sometimes applied to the  

Australian troops when first quartered in Egypt."  

In view of this authority the previous learned  

commentator who connected the Australasians  

with the Son of Anak is now discredited amongst  

Egyptologists.  

FROM THE "RISING SUN" OF 62 YEARS AGO  

It is pity that Tennyson did not have available  

the following realistic account which was turned up  

by our office boy yesterday in searching the old files  

of "The Rising Sun," 1854.  

"BRITISH OFFICIAL.  

The following telegraphic despatch has been re-  

ceived from General Headquarters in the Crimean  

Peninsula  

OCTOBER 25.?This afternoon small body of  

our cavalry successfully raided some enemy gun  

positions in the Balaclava area. In spite of the  

arduous nature of the task set them, and of the  

enemy's artillery barrage, our men gallantly con-  

tinued to progress. The enemy position was pene-  

trated, and at some points hand to hand fighting  

ensued. Our cavalry subsequently retired enabling  

us to make tactical readjustment of our line to.  

position previously decided upon. Our losses in  

this successful little affair were not out of propor-  

tion to its difficulty. Those inflicted upon the  

enemy are believed to have been far greater."  

THE EPIDEMIC OF AUGUST 1915  

The A.I).M.S. was puzzled ?the D.D.M.S. was  

quite nervous. believe there is sheaf of reports  

concerning that epidemic somewhere in the old  

files still.
