The Australian at Weymouth  

CIRCULATING IN THE  

WESTHAM, LITTLE MOOR, AND MONTE VIDEO CAMPS OF THE A.I.F.  

In our next issue we will publish  

short article by the Rt Hon. W.  

Hughes, P.C., the Prime Minister  

of Australia.  

No. 2. JULY 2, 1918. Price Twopence.  

IMMORTAL ENGLAND.  

The following is from letter to 'The Times  

from Mr. Fullerton L. Waldo, one of Australia?s  

greatest literary men, and giant amongst  

editors  

?We shall come on till we disgust and  

exhaust the Germans, till they are broken in  

spirit and humbled to the dust. It is no idle  

vaunt. Nothing short of complete and  

crushing victory will satisfy our expectation.  

When Germany is beaten is the time to talk of  

peace.  

?We are enabled now to play our part  

because Britain has kept the faith and held the  

line. Her Army has been the living wall by  

land; the prowess of her glorious Navy has  

kept the sea-line safe for us to come where all  

these years we longed to be.  

What is that sum of money ?what is any  

number of mere dollars ?against the blood of  

the flower of the race beneath the white crosses  

there in Flanders  

Your long and patient vigil looks where  

?westward, look! the land is bright,? and  

rightly puts its faith in what America is doing?  

and is doing not for the dear sake of Britain  

merely, not for the sake of the grand and pure  

democracy that Britain exemplifies and America  

inherits, but for the sake of the salvation of  

America?s own soul.?  

?PERFIDIOUS ALBION.?  

All is not well with Fritz and Hans  

For when the German makes his plans  

?Tis understood beyond doubt  

Those plans must all be carried out.  

If Germans say thing must be  

Why German will is Fates decree,  

And ?tis hideous offence  

To question their omnipotence.  

Yet shocked, indignant, with regret  

They find omnipotence upset.  

And who is guilty of this crime  

Perfidious Albion every time.  

The Briton will not fight,? said they.  

He did. And since that dismal day  

Whatever German scheme appears  

The Briton always interferes.  

Fritz put his money in the slot  

To starve the Briton?but did not.  

The battered pirate shares his pain.  

Perfidious Albion once again  

With empty purse and inward void,  

Fritz lean and hungry and annoyed,  

Begins to wish he?d never seen  

That disappointing slot machine.  

Dbmoceitus.  

NIGHT AND DAY.
