The com mitteemen. made an explanation; then some of the signers seceded and the war started. Right much of the war-news was allowed to pass - the censcr, Then the Professor, was brought in, also Brother Davis and [Poor Richard, Since then' there h,s been a regular bombardment, with, no deaths reported. The last battle took place near the kitchen, where some hot eaa, probab ly caused from stomach-ache, was the Generals tfere too near. Then Eve's daughter was fir*d on and the best war prophets cannot tell when ?or where it will end. Sure it is, however, that Eve's daughter will have HTe ias-tJ shot. We hope League of Nations will take it up very soon and matters will be satis factorily settled. SPECTATOR. ?
