"You are wise, Kaiser William," the
journalist said,
' And there 's little you cannot explain,
So I wish you would tell me why Ger
many's dead
Lay so thick in the woods of Lor
raine." "My son," said the Kaiser, "you're
lacking in years
Or you M know that was just as we
willed ;
Those corpses were merely some Kiel mu
tineers, And we placed them in front to get
killed."
"You are wise, Kaiser William, I say
it again.
'Twas a corking strategical feat.
But why did the Yanks capture so many
men
Since Hindenburg planned to retreat f"
"As to that," laughed the Kaiser,
"those troops were the lame,
The halt and the blind and the sick.
Now France has to feed 'em that was
the game
'Twas Ludendorff's cleverest trick."
"You are wise, Kaiser William," said
the journalist. "Yea,
But over the billowy deep
Safely come thousands of Yankees each
the U-boat commanders asleep?"
"Young man," said the Kaiser, "it is
really to laugh.
When the cost makes America crack
It's a prearranged plan of the General
Staff
To let none of the beggars get lack."
"You are old, Kaiser William in wis
dom, not years
And you know a retreat from a rout,
Now I wouldn't presume to infer I have
fears,
But you feel we shall win without
doubt?"
"I have answered three questions," the
Kaiser replied,
"Pure silly, nonsensicl rot.
But to please you again I'll say 'yes'
if I've lied
But the blame not on me, but on Gott."
It may be all very well to admit Ger
many to membership in a League of Na
tions . . . but a Germany in which the
irohenzollerns and junker gangs have
ceased to bo the dominant factors.
To the CJocl Popl of North Carolina
Chrietraas is coming and will find a
lavge number of soldiers in Camp
Jackson, many of whom will be lonesome
nnl unhappy. Now, it is my wish to
do everything possible to give these men
a taste of real Christmas joy. I am
appealing to the good" people' of this State
to send for them, through me, whatever
they feel that they can contribute to the
success of a happy Chrismas Day.
I will be glad to have smokes, good
things to eat, and money will be applied
to the, purchase of fresh fruits and other
delicacies .
In addition to these men in camp, we
have between five and six hundred Bed
Cross nurses, the finest girls in the
whole world, and I want to see that they
have a happy Christmas,, so I am making
an appeal for them.
Whatever is sent by any friend of our
great citizen army will be used for the
benefit of the men and will contribute
much towards giving them a joyous oc
casion .

Was Titty Thousand Short
It often happens. Absconding cash
iers are by no means a new invention,
and so the manager of the Doughnut
Bank thought he had better get a de
tective on the job, and make his cashier
run for his money. Of course, the detec
tive wanted pariculars.
"Will you furnish me with a descrip
tion of the missing cashier?" he said.
"For instance, how tall was he?"
"I don't know how tall he was," an
swered the manager testily. "What
worries me is that he was fifty thousand
dollars short." Chicago News.

The American soldiers in France took
territory and held it. The American peo
pie at home having taken Liberty Bonds
should hold them. This is not only patrL
toic but it is very sound finance. Liberty
Bonds are safe and the probabilities are
that they will greatly rise in value. Hold
your Liberty Bonds.
There is a notion very prevalent in
the United States that when the Arner.
ican soldiers return home they are going
to feel very kindly toward the subscrib
ers to the Liberty Loans. Liberty
Bonds are incontrovertible evidence that
the purchaser has supported his Govern.

Hold fast to that which is good. Keep
