# Adolf Hitler's New Year's Order of the Day to the German Armed Forces (31 December 1940)

Soldiers, in the year of war, 1940, the National Socialist Armed Forces of Greater Germany have won glorious victories of unique greatness. With unprecedented audacity, they have beaten the enemy on land, at sea and in the sky. All tasks which I have been obliged to entrust to you have been carried out by you, thanks to your heroism, and to your soldierly virtues. You have beaten the enemy forces with the force of arms, and have conquered territories which had already been conquered morally, thanks to your exemplary conduct and discipline. Thanks to your good fellowship, it has been possible to transform the apparently vain and heroic efforts of the German Armed Forces during the World War into a success, which after a few months of heroic struggle has given you a name in history, and has effaced the shame imposed on us in the Forest of Compiegne. As Supreme Commander, I thank you, soldiers of the Army, of the Navy and of the Air Force, for your incomparable successes. I thank you also in the name of the whole German nation. We recall our comrades who gave their lives in the struggle for the great future of our people. We also recall the courageous soldiers of our ally, Fascist Italy. According to the will of the warmongering democrats, and of their capitalist and Jewish allies this war must be continued. The representatives of the crumbling world hope that in 1941 it may be perhaps possible to do that which was impossible in the past. We are ready. We find ourselves at the beginning of 1941, armed as never before. I know that each one of you will do his duty. God, great and powerful, does not abandon the man who is threatened by a world of enemies, and who is determined to defend himself with a firm and stout heart. Soldiers of the National Socialist Armed Forces of Greater Germany, the year 1941 will bring us, on the Western Front, the completion of the greatest victory of our history.

Come on and hear, Come on and hear,  Alexander's Ragtime Band, Come on and hear, Come on and hear, It's the best band in the land, They can play a bugle call Like you never heard before, So natural that you want to go to war. That's just the bestest band that am, Honey Lamb!
Come on along, Come on along,  Let me take you by the hand Up to the man, Up to the man, Who's the leader of the band, And if you want to hear The Swanee River played in ragtime, Come on and hear, Come on and hear,  Alexander's Ragtime Band.
Oh, ma honey, oh, ma honey There's a fiddle with notes that screeches, Like a chicken, like a chicken And the clarinet, is a colored pet, Come and listen, come and listen To a classical band what's peaches, Come now, some how, Better hurry along.
Come on and hear, etc.

# Aletha

WHAT all men think  ‘Tis mine to say; To me the dark  Is as the day,  To-morrow is as yesterday.
Where men are blind
 I only see; Dumb mouth, deaf ears  Are naught to me;
 It is enough alone to be.
What all men dream
 I realize;
And mortals wait  Till their dead eyes  Open upon the great surprise.
Of my vast height  The poets rhyme; With feeble feet  They vainly climb, With tired steps, my steep of time.
Where men believe
 ‘Tis mine to know; Mine are the peaks  That burn and glow,
 With their volcanoes in the snow,
Mine is the soul  Of fire; lit By the unknown;  But out of it  Upon the heart the known is writ.

# Alexander Graham Bell to John Adams Kingsbury - 1922-04-18

Letter (two pages) from Alexander Graham Bell to John Adams Kingsbury regarding the children of William Balfour Ker and Josephine Reeder Phillips, dated 18 April 1922.
Alexander Graham Bell 1331 Connecticut Avenue Washington, D.C.
1922 April 18
Mr. John Kingsbury 49 Wall Street New York City
Dear Mr. Kingsbury:
I was very glad indeed to receive your letter on Saturday, and note with pleasure your attitude toward the children of Balf Ker. I sent you a telegram yesterday suggesting that you might run down to Newark in their interests.
I have had some correspondence with Miss Condit, Executive Secretary of the Children’s Aid and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, in Newark, where the children have been living, and have sent copies of all letters to the various members of the Ker family whom I could reach in the hope of arousing interest in the ultimate fate of the children. I have not heard from Balfour’s brothers,–who live at some distance, one in the State of Washington and the other in Venezuela,–but the other members of his family do not seem able or willing to do anything for the permanent support of the children. I have been anxious from the first to assist in any way that I could, but without the cooperation of the Ker family have not felt that I could become in any way responsible for their future. Mrs Fischer has written very generously of her interest in the children, and it occurs to me that with your long experience in such cases you might be willing to outline some arrangement in which those of us interested could cooperate. I enclose a copy of latest letter from Miss Condit, written to Mrs Bell, which is self-explanatory.
I wish very much that we could meet here, where we could confer with Balfour's Washington relatives, but I expect to leave for my Nova Scotia home at the end of the month and am making no engagements for May.
Yours sincerely
Alexander Graham Bell

# All for Love (Dryden)/Prologue

PROLOGUE to Anthony and Cleopatra
WHat Flocks of Critiques hover here to day,$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,$ As Vultures wait on Armies for their Prey, All gaping for the Carcass of a Play! With Croaking Notes they bode some dire event; And follow dying Poets by the scent. Ours gives himself for gone; y'have watch'd your time! He fights this day unarm'd; without his Rhyme. And brings a Tale which often has been told; As sad as Dido's; and almost as old. His Heroe, whom you Wits his Bully call, Bates of his mettle; and scarce rants at all: He's somewhat lewd; but a well-meaning mind; Weeps much; fights little; but is wond'rous kind. In short, a Pattern, and Companion fit, For all thee keeping Tonyes of the Pit. I cou'd name more; A Wife, and Mistress too;$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,$ Both (to be plain) too good for most of you: The Wife well-natur'd, and the Mistress true. Now, Poets, if your fame has been his care; Allow him all the candour you can spare. A brave Man scorns to quarrel once a day; Like Hectors, in at every petty fray, Let those find fault whose Wit's so very small, They've need to show that they can think at all: Errours like Straws upon the surface flow; He who would search for Pearls must dive below. Fops may have leave to level all they can; As Pigmies wou'd be glad to lopp a Man. Half-Wits are Fleas; so little and so light; We scarce cou'd know they live; but that they bite. But, as the Rich, when tir'd with daily Feasts, For change, become their next poor Tenants Ghests; Drink hearty Draughts of Ale, from plain brown Bowls, And snatch the homely Rasher from the Coals: So you, retiring from much better Cheer, For once, may venture to do penance here. And since that plenteous Autumn now is past, Whose Grapes and Peaches have Indulg'd your taste, Take in good part from our poor Poets board, Such rivell'd Fruits as Winter can afford.

# All for Love (Dryden)/Epilogue

Epilogue.
POets, like Disputants, when Reasons fail, Have one sure Refuge left and that's to rail; Fop, Coxcomb, Fool, are thunder'd through the Pit; And this is all their Equipage of Wit. We wonder how the Devil this diff'rence grows, Betwixt our Fools in Verse, and yours in Prose? For, 'Faith, the quarrel rightly understood, 'Tis Civil War with their own Flesh and Blood. The thread-bare Author hates the gawdy Coat; And swears at the Gilt Coach, but swears a foot: For 'tis observ'd of every Scribling Man, He grows a Fop as fast as e'er he can; Prunes up, and asks his Oracle the Glass, If Pink or Purple best become his Face. For our poor Wretch, he neither rails nor prays;$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,$ Nor likes your Wit just as you like his Plays; He has not yet so much of Mr. Bays. He does his best; and, if he cannot please, Wou'd quietly sue out his Writ of Ease. Yet, if he might his own Grand Jury call, By the Fair Sex he begs to stand or fall. Let Cæsar's Pow'r the Mens ambition move, But grace you him who lost the World for Love. Yet if some antiquated Lady say, The last Age is not Copy'd in his Play; Heav'n help the Man who for that face must drudge, Which only has the wrinkles of a Judge. Let not the Young and Beauteous join with those; For shou'd you raise such numerous Hosts of Foes, Young Wits and Sparks he to his aid must call; 'Tis more than one Man's work to please you all.
