HACKING THEIR WAY THROUGH.

August 28, 1914.
God with us!” is their cry, their creed;
God with them? was it once surmised
Their God was of a pagan breed,
A Moloch, like the Christ disguised?
This wrong to Belgium, faithless deed!
Reveals them, to a world surprised,
Vandals, inflamed with hate and greed—
Not Christians, no! nor civilized.
