The Germans seem to have adopted a new method of hiding their losses. We read in _The Edinburgh Evening Dispatch_ that the attack on the Mort Homme "has brought no kudos to the Crown Prince--only more catacombs." * * * * * NURSERY RHYMES OF LONDON TOWN. XIII.--LADYWELL. The Lady sat On the brink of the Well; She lost her balance And in she fell! They fished her up With a crooked pin; She came out wetter Than she went in. "Well, Lady, well?" "Sir, very ill! If you sit by the Well You are certain to spill." XIV.--SHEPHERDESS WALK. Walk, Shepherdess, walk, And I'll walk too, To find the ram with the ebony horn And the gold-footed ewe; The lamb with the fleece of silver Like Summer sea-foam, And the wether with the crystal bell That leads them all home. Walk, Shepherdess, walk, And I'll walk too, And if we never find them I shan't mind--shall you? * * * * * "Wanted, cast-off clothing for pen of profitable pedigree bantams."--_The Lady._ Moulting already? * * * * * ENGLAND CAUGHT OUT. AS DETECTED THROUGH GERMAN SPECTACLES. The malignant and perfidious English have again to eat their own words. Indeed, they have eaten them. It will be remembered that on every occasion of one of our glorious Zeppelin raids our official report of the damage done, notwithstanding the meticulous accuracy which those who draw up the reports impose upon themselves, has been angrily contradicted by the English Press, always under some heading attributing habitual mendacity and wilful and continuous dishonesty to the German headquarters. Germans do not lie. There is no need. Their deeds are so terrific and sweeping as it is that the slightest embroidery or exaggeration would produce an effect to stagger humanity. Hence when our reports said on one occasion that our Zeppelins had irretrievably damaged the fortified town of Margate, and on another occasion that our Zeppelins had practically destroyed the formidable garrison of Ramsgate, and on a third occasion that our Zeppelins had almost eliminated that English Kronstadt, Yarmouth, and on a fourth occasion that the menacing citadel of Cromer had been reduced to ruins, and on a fifth occasion that the hitherto impregnable fortress of Lowestoft had become pregnable owing to the wonderful science of the revered Count ZEPPELIN--when our reports said these things they recorded facts, although the reptile English Press instantly hissed out denials and attacks.
