81 Should Have Had an Iron Cross
the Day I Married YOU"

A man sat down to breakfast with his
ever-lovlng wife,
Who had grabbed his morning paper
from his plate.
She said, ut grieves me greatly that
you cannot risk your lie
And win an Iron Cross for shooting
straight =.
The man looked at her sadly. for II
gave his heart a wrench
To hear her bawl him out In SUCH
way;
He thought Of how he'd gladly take his
place In any trench.
And then to her these solemn words
did say:
CHORUS.
II haven't any halo. and no medals
have I got.
I have never stopped a bullet. though
at times I've been half shot.
But when I look around this home and
think what I've gone through,
I should have had an Iron Cross the
day I married you"

GERMANY AND SWITZERLAND

Switzerland and Germany have
patched up their commercial differ
ences by an arrangement that, it is
stated, is to continue until April
next. The date is significant, for If
the war is not ended then there will
have to be a renewal or readjust-
ment Of the terms.
It is provided that each country
may exchange its surplus products
in its special lines for the others
surplus in other lines. The arrange
ment precludes the possibility Of
Switzerland becoming a pipeline for
introducing imported articles into
Germany. Switzerland, entirely sur
rounded by belligerent nations,
would be shut off by the allies from
its touch with the outside world, il
it presumed to use its neutrality to
cloak dealings in contraband with
Germany and Austria. Likewise, If
Switzerland should send German
coal and steel to France, it would be
cut off by Germany from these
prime necessaries.
The present arrangement, which
is presumed to have been satisfac-
tory to the allies, concerns only the
domestic products Of Switzerland.
That country needs coal and iron;
Germany has them. So Germany, it
is reported, will furnish Switzerland
$4,000 tons Of coal per month and
corresponding quantities Of iron and
steel.
Germany is especially DESTROYS
that Switzerland turn itself into q
munitions factory for Germany and
Austria, as Japan has done for the
allies. The raw materials would be
provided from Germany, and the
products sent back there. Under
such an arrangement, Germany
might reasonably expect Switzer
land to be a most useful economic
ally. But there is this difficulty
again, that the entente powers coulc
put the clamps on Switzerland, anC
they would unquestionably do SO
Japan and the United States would
: not now be shipping war supplies t.
the allies, if Germany could prevent
! Their control of the sea enable
