_THE ZEPPELIN TRIUMPH_
"_But Mother had done nothing wrong, had she, Daddy?_"
The first Zeppelin attack on London was made on the evening of the last
day of May, 1915. Zeppelins passed over Colchester at 10 o'clock, and at
twenty-three minutes past ten the people in one of the poorest and most
crowded quarters of East End were startled to find bomb after bomb,
mainly of incendiary type, dropping among them. A large number of
civilians including many women and children were killed.
By shell from sea, by bomb from air,
Our greeting shall be sped,
Making each English homestead
A mansion of the dead.
And even Grey will tremble
As falls each iron word;
"God punish England, brother?
Yea! Punish her, O Lord!"

IS YOUR CONSCIENCE CLEAR?
Ask your conscience why you are staying comfortably at home instead of
doing _your_ share for your King and Country.
1. Are you too old?
The only man who is too old is the man who is over 38.
2. Are you physically fit?
The only man who can say honestly that he is not physically fit is
the man who has been told so by a Medical Officer.
3. Do you suggest you cannot leave your business?
In this great crisis the only man who cannot leave his business is
the man who is himself actually doing work for the Government.
If your conscience is not clear on these three points your duty is
plain.
ENLIST TO-DAY
GOD SAVE THE KING
