Absolute knowledge I have none,
But my aunt's washerwoman's sisters

Heard policeman on his beat
Say to laborer on the street,
That he had letter just last week,
Written in the finest Greek,
From Chinese coolie in Timbuctoo,
Who said the "niggers" in Cuba knew
Of a colored man in Texas town,
Who got it straight from circus
clown,
That a man in the Klondike heard the
news
From a gang Of South American Jews
About somebody in Borneo
| Who heard of man who claimed to
know
Of q swell society female rake
Whose mother-in-law will undertake
To prove that her seventh husbands
/ sisters niece
Had stated in printed piece
That she had son who had a friend
Who knows when the war is going to

In expressing the fullest confidence

The Deutsche Tageszeitung says:
This is not the first strategic re-
treat Won Hindenburg has executed
in this war. It is necessary only to
remember his grea- retreat before
Warsaw and the partial evacuation of
Transylyania. Thus far these retreats
of Won llindenburg always have borne
fruit a hundredfold so that we may
face the new measure of our highest
military command with well founded
confidence and the fullest assurance
that it furnishes the preliminary to
new German successes
The Morgen Post says:
"The German people can and must
have the fullest confidence in their
leaders, especially Won Hindenburg
and his able counselor and assistant.
Won Ludendorff Developments may
be awaited with calm confidence"
