LAWYER WRITES NEW WAR SONG "Marching Through Berlin" Has War-Time Swing When the boys from Harrls'ourg in the Eighth Regiment left for Camp Hancock months ago a number of them wanted a good "war song," up to-date and written for them. One of the officers of the regiment re quested his friend, Deputy Prothon otary Elmer E- Erb,. to write a new version of the wideiy-known song of the Civil War. "Marching Through Georgia." Mr. Erb has written words for the music of the old war song and has named the 1917 version "Marching Through Berlin." It can be sung to the music of the old song. Mr. Erb's verses follow: MARCHING THROUGH BERLIN Tune: "Marching Through Georgia." America, the land for whom our fathers died to free, Was consecrated by them on the rock of Liberty; Now at our shores the shadow of the blackest Tryanny, Phantoms old Macbeth, the Kaiser! CHORUS Hurrah! Hurrah! we're bound to cross the sea! Hurfah! Hurrah! Away to Germany. We've got the boys to take the Stars and Stripes to Victory! While we go marching through Berlin. The moans of Belgium thrill us, and the Potlus' heaving sigh. They're victims of the Roche's rape and wicked murder eye; He's blasted homes ,and innocents and cots where wounded lie! Vengeance we shout on the Kaiser! CHORUS We'll show our by-gone heroes, who've so nobly cleared the way, We'll fight and die as they have for the grand old U. S. A.! We'll sing the songs they used to sing—oh how our bands will play! While we go after the Kaiser! CHORUS He's loosed his grimy Water wolves to gore the under sea, He's sent our loved ones innnocent to death and misery; He's blasted up our ocean lanes—his devils all in glee! 'S Death to old Macheth the Kaiser! CHORUS Ilis devil daring dragons are a hawk ing through the tky, They're watching old America with nil their villain eye! Our Eagles want to meet them! And they'll meet them—do or die! Down with the varmint, the Kaiser! CHORUS We'll fill the air with freedom midst the battle's din and noise. We'll shout it to the tune of Yan kee Doodle-Sammy boys! We'll sing it in old Dixie; with the Rocky Mountain boys! While we go marching to Berlin. CHORUS Come out and join the chorus — show yourself a noble son! Let's grit our teeth and fight the Boche —each lad a Washing ton; And when the battle's over—Kaiser Bill is on the run! On we go marcning to Berlin. CHORUS By ELMER E. ERB (Copyright applied for). Phrenologists May Test Members of Parliament London, Dec. 21.—A proposal that all candidates for Parliament should submit to examination by a phre nologist and "have their bumps told" is one of the features of the annual leportf of the British Phrenological So ciety, which has just completed its annual meeting here. A speaker at the convention said: The state's need of phrenology is evident in nearly every department of government administration. Par ticularly in the election of members of Parliament, it seems to us that the best-fitted candidate, according to the formation of his head and the volume and quality of his brains, is not always elected. A phrenologi cal examination of all candidates would save an immense amount ot unnecessary misunderstanding, blun dering and expense. "The system which we propose was tried on some candidates for the Brighton town council recently with satisfactory results. Phrenology shpould be utilized in this way in every town and city. "We have heard a good deal lately' In political circles about 'brain effl- ' ciency' but it has all been talk, be-' cause the authorities have no scien-! title formula by which they can cal- j culate a candidate's brain capacity or his intellectual grip and ability, nor: will they ever have it until they call j us phrenologists to their assistance. "Cabinet ministers ought all to be selected according to the formation j of their heads, and not merely upon j personal influence, credentials or rep- j utation. "Phrenology ought to be taught in our schools—instead of German." j , U.S. War Savings J | Certificates | irm mW r mas I !j ■Bgjf By giving these instead of money | f j | i832-i9i7 eeßwaegw ♦ T t DECEMBER 21, 1917 klisb again heads WHARTON STUDY CLUB The Wharton Study Club last night re-elected Joseph Kline president and Norman J.
