WAR SOr«^S OF AU. NATIONS |
The followiuK war song was compohcd In 1790 and is now being sung in every town In Belgium. The men of 1 ioge bave ever beld a proud record for courage and valor, a fact whicb is being proven today. The poem Is a translation froiu the French, and lings with martial ardor and courage. VALEUREUX LIEGOI8 Ye men of Leige. proud, true an^ bold. Speeding lo'win a fierce renown. Shall seek and wear the victor'* crown, ^ ' Striking for freedom, dear of old.
CONFESSION OF FAITH
As perhaps already noted above there has been a change In the owner¬ ship and management of The Nassau Post. Rand W. Sutherland has severed his connection with the paper to as¬ sume a position as district represen¬ tative of tbe metropolltap dailies, with oflices In tbe Forbes Realty build ing.
Since the birth of the paper six months ago there have been many short comings. We have a confes¬ sion of faith to make which we do with poBtlveness and determination.
The paper will have an editor. It win not be abandoned. We shall make it better tban It has ever been. Af¬ ter this week, it will be delivered to you on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Proof-reading Is not a lost art, we shall try to eliminate all er¬ rors. Advertisers will receive the sub¬ stantial assistance which they merit.
The success attained by The Nas¬ sau Poat since Its birth has been very gratifying to Its friends and publish¬ ers. Tbe Post will continue as an independent paper, champion of the people; unofflclal In character.
In the best and broadest sense there is but one reason why this or perhaps any other newspaper should be pub¬ lish^ and supported, by a community; TO RENDER SERVICE. "Labor per formed for another"'»-"Duty Perform¬ ed." Under the inspiration of this watchward The Nasaau Post shall be¬ come a vital factor.
We ahall try to I^Ublish the best news, to allay strife rather than to provoke dissen tation, to build up rather than destroy. And without charity, a newspaper worketh In vain.
We Join hand in hand to work for better, cleaner villages, higher munnl- clpal lives, and sweeter, flner and tru er home relations.
School children seem .quite resign ed to *he fact lliat a lot of teachers are bottled up tight in European Coun tries and probably cannot get home in time for the opening of the fall terms ot school. Oo to the children for patience and philosophy.
There is too much auto speeding along the Merrick road through our neighboring villages. It ought not to be diflicult to place the responsibility for the two or three serious collisions which have occured In the last few weeks.
Auto drivers and bicycle riders ahould heed the lesson and practice caution at all times and especially on this crowded.. speed cursed highway.
CARE OF THE TREES The season is now approaching the time when trees need especial atten¬ tion. It is the tme when the busy Insect is selecting the place to deposit eggs and spiii strangling webs and cucoons that tend to strangle the life o"ut of the hard'est trees.
Trees planted In cities are sur ioundid by unnatural cond'Uons and the struglge for existence seems al inost » tragedy. And without some aid tram man, this Is usually the re¬ sult; a lingering death follows.
A fine tree is so hard to replace. It takes years of care and a vast amount of watchMlne^s before it can poMdbly awituao Its place among tbe tliliigg ot bMQty.

Caesar, who conquered all a world. Knew you for true aud valiant men; You b''oke his iron bonds, and tben
Your flag of freedom was unfurfled.
Since time began fair Freedom's cause Has claimed you freely for her own; Beaten, but never wholly down.
Her proud behests have been your laws.
So in this Lour of fateful strife. Hoar and otey your coutry's voice. And on its altars mark your choice
For fatherland to give your life.
^od grant us now the heavenly host May treasure what our land has won. That "God and Freedom," two in one,
May make our glory, be cur boast.

mss'a
Below will be found rome of the National war songs that have stirred the hearts of millions of soldiers. These war songs or anthems, by the way, are not often high ramples of poetry or poetic thought, but they reach the neart, rouse the enthusiasm, kIvo strength to the weak, courage to those lack Ing it. and thus accomplish all that couid be asked of them. And when some good chorus is roaned out by tbouaanda ol men's voices, the effect is wonder ful. Add lo this moving banners, martial music, the rumble of great wheels bearing cannon, the steady steps of the marching singing, soldiers, songs so sung become defled-worshipped. And while on the subject wbo can furnish this department with eome of the good war songs that were so plentiful lu this country from 61 to C5?
ENGLAND—"GOD SAVE THE KING" Long live our noble King, LonW Uve our noble king
God save the King!
• *"-. g
Send him victorio«6,
Happy and glorioue,
..,^>,.-... Long to reign over us,
God save the king!
O Lord our God, arise, '^7.'; Scatter his «nemles,
And make them fall. Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks; "'" On Thee our hearts we flx,
God save us all!
Thy choicest gifts in store, On him be pleased to pour,
Loag aiay he reign. May be defei^ cm- laws, AmA ever give us cause To slag with heart and voice, God save thc king! 0' FRANCE—"THE MARSEILLAISE" Ye sons of freedom, wake to glory!
Hark! Hark! What myralds bid you rise! Your children, wives and grandslres hoary,
Behold their tears aud hear their cries. Shall hateful tyrants, mischief breeding. With hireling hosts, a ruflian band. Affright and desolate the land. While peace and liberty He bleeding? To arms! To arms, yc brave! The avenging eword unsheathe; March on! March on! All hearts resolved On victory or death.
Now, now the dangerous storm' is rolling.
Which treacherous kings, confederate, raisf ThedORs of wai let loose are howling.
And lo! our flelds and cities blaze; And shall we babely view the ruin,
Whili' lawless force, with guilty stride,
Spreads debolations far and wide. With crimes und biood hi.s hands Imbruing?
With' luxury and jiride hurrounded,
Tbe vile, Insatidlc despots dare. Their thrlst of power and gold unbounded.
To meet and VL-nd the light and air; Like beasts of burden would they load us,
I.Ike (tods would bid their their slaves adore;
But man Is rann, and wbo is more? Then, shall they longer lash and goad us?
O Liberty! Can man resign Thee,
Once having felt tLy generous flame? Can dungeons, bolts or bars confine thee?
Or whips thy noble spirit tame? Too long the world has wept, bewailing
That falsehood's dagger tyrants wield.
But freedom Is our f^word and shield. And all tbeir arts are unavailing.
To arms! To arms, ye brave!
The avenging sword unshe8.the; March on! March on! All hearts resolved
On victory or death.
RUSSIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM Lord. God, protect the Czar! powerful and might. May he in glory, in glory reign.
Chorus; IvOrd, God, protect ttae Csar! i>ower(al and might,'' May be in glory. In glory reign. He is our guiding star, great in peace and war, Our faith's true protector, long lire tbe Csar.

WHAT WILL THEY D07
In all the war complications, the eyes of the civilised world turn «o two countries witb something uore than mere curiosity, and yet there Is much of curiosity and speclulatlon in the inspection.
Russia has ever been a puzzle. What that autocratic ruler of that vast domain would do in any given case, has ever been a question, .^ni whal he and his oncers would be able to do with the Vast arniy of flve nilllion of men, has ever attracted the atten¬ tion of tbe civilized world.
It is a singular army. A huso, vast cumbersome iiacblne, terribly effec¬ tive when in earnest and cohesive In its action, it must be kept on the tracks and well governed, or it be¬ comes an instrument of dire destruc¬ tion.
As an army It seems uttorly lack¬ ing in enthusiasm. Tho German goes to war In earnest. The soldiers may smoke their pipes and diink thi»{r beer, but undei^neath this, tliere ever Is the grim purpose of exterminalinK the enemy. Every German .soldlei dreams of undying glory and the "Iron Cross."
The French go to the bat'le lield with a grand, martial enthusiasm that has helped them win many -i batti<^ when greatly outnumbered by the enemy.
Americans probably need more dis¬ ciplining than any other nation. Ev¬ ery man has been taught thai he is free and the equal of every other man even though that other wears --hoiiider straps and has a swoid at his side'. But when properly disciitliiK^d and in
abandon t^att the American.
There is the wily Japaneses. Just how effective the Japs wouldf'Ae In a long and bloody war, has not been de¬ termined.
The flght with Russia was really no fair test of the Japs flghting quall- or Interest lu that war. The great or interest in tahl war. The great machine did not get fairly under mo¬ tion. It waa like a prize flghter be¬ ing knocked out by some sntappy featherweight before he had time lo get squared away.
The~present world's war seems to give Japan an opening that she is will¬ ing and eager to take. At present she seems to have no fair provacatiou for striking against Germany.
So tbe question of interest at pres¬ ent is Low effective will that vast Russian army be against Germany or any opposing force, and what part will the\sinoothe IHtle Jap :-,oldier play, with the end ever in view of course, of his own personal advantage.
