THE ARCHBISHOP'S APOLOGIA.
["I resent exceedingly the gross and vulgar way in which the German Emperor has been treated in the newspapers.... I have a personal memory of the Emperor very sacred to me."—The Archbishop of York.]
His Grace of York maintains the Kaiser's
Merely the dupe of bad advisers,
And, simply to avoid a fuss,
Reluctantly made war on us.
One marvels what his Grace will say
When, peradventure, some fine day,
Thanks to his German friend, he hears
York Minster crashing round his ears!
