THE FUNNY SIDE

The possibility that the British forts
at Dover bombarded last week a
school of whales instead of a fiotilla
of German submarines; and the
known fact that a year or so ago ap-
p~rehensive Englishmen took to their
cellars when a toy balloon, released
from an excursion vessel out in the
North Sea, floated landward, believing
the light in the night sky to be a Ger
man Zeppelin, can hardly be more
laugh-provoking than the following in
cident in Italy described by the New
York Evening Post:
Again the far-plotting Germans!
This time in Italy. Our readers will
recall that, early in the war, the
French found that in their country
German posters advertising boullion
were really bulletins of military infor-
nation for the invader. A similar
nefarious scheme has been discovered
by the Italians. The acutest among
them have been discussing mysterious
signs, in the guise of bill-boards, plac-
! ed near their Notifications, close by
their railway stations, and at other
strategic points. That the thing is OF
German origin Is clear, for the alleged
advertiser has a German name. More
over, he Is doubly under suspicion,
for he Is Offering for sale a product
little used in Italy. No wonder that
an alarmed and patriotic Italian depu
ty is about to interpellate the govern
ment regarding the business. AS fol
the poster itself, VIZ read in the Italian
papers that it consists Of a cut of
gigantic cucumber, with some myster
ious numbers at the left, and under
meath the name, Heinz. Shades Of the
F~ifty-seven Varieties! Italy all mixet
up by our well-known mixed pickles!'
Fortunately for the spirit Of a war
distressed world, all Is not grief

men fly to arms. The humorous sid,
helps to keep the human mind ra
