HIS SATANIC MAJESTY ABB

OF KAISER WILHELM
By Louis Syberikrop,
Of Creston, Iowa.

ITO Wilhelm Won Hohenzollern, King
Of Prussia, Emperor of All Germany
and Envoy Extraordinary of Almighty
God:
MY Dear Wilhelm: can call you
by that familiar name for l have al
ways been very close to you, much
closes than you could ever know.
From the time that you were yet
an undeveloped being in your mothers
womb l have shaped your destiny for
my own purpose
Tn the days OF Rome / created a
roughneck known in history as Nero.
He was a vulgar character and suited
my purpose at that particular time.
In these modern days a classic demon
and efficient super~criminal was

lern blood, / picked you as my special
Instrument to place on earth an annex
of hell. / gave You abnormal ambi-
tion. likewise an over supply Of ego

own failings: L twisted your mind to
that of mad man with certain normal
tendencies to carry you by, a most
dangerous character placed i'm power
gave you the power of a hypnotist
and a certain magnetic force that you
might sway your people.
Deformity Embittering Factor in

Il am responsible for the deformed
arm that hangs helpless ON your left,
for your crippled condition embitters
your life and destroys all noble i'm
pulses that might otherwise cause me
anxiety, but your strong sword arm Is
driven by your ambition that squelches
all sentiment and pity; 1 placed In
your soul a deep hatred for all things
English, for of all nations ON earth
hate English most, wherever England
plants her flag she brings order out
of chaos and the hatred cross follows
the Union Jack; under her rule wild
tribes become tillers Of the soil and In
due time practical citizens: she is the
great civilizer Of the globe and
HATE HER. planted in your soul
a cruel hatred for your mother because
SHE was English and left my good
friend Bismarck TO fan the flame

how well our work was done. IT broke

THE RED DRAGON.

A long time ago when folks believed
I'm fairies they talked good deal
about dragons.
Now, there lived In a marsh near
certain village a big red dragon.
The king offered prizes to any one
who would kill it.
A great many brave knights of his
army went out and came back with
wonderful tales of how they had
fought with the dragon and after
wounding 1t, had only given up the
fight on account Of being hurt by the
monster.
Then the kind king would say, "Nev-
er mind; you'll have better luck the
next time" And he would give them
valuable gift
There was with the king a little page
boy, who was great butterfly hunter
The kings librarian had promised him
gold piece for every new butterfly
he would bring him.
So when the king stopped one night
at one OF the castles I'm the neighbor-
hood OF the dragon the page boy slip
ped off with his net to hunt butter
flies.
And Of course he got lost and wan
dered into the swamp where the
dragon lived, and the fierce dragon
came rushing and roaring at him.
The little page boy looked around.
He hadn't thing with which to fight
the dragon except his butterfly net.
The net was tackled to long stout,
stick, and when the dragon got near
enough the boy raised 1t and hit the
dragon fearful whack on its fat
sides.
Wow" shrieked the dragon, and
with pun 1t went up In the air Just
as balloon does when you slash a
hole I'm the bag. The fierce old dragon
had been nothing but air and skin.
When he was sure it was quite dead
the little page boy grabbed the empty
dragon skin by its spiked tail and drag
ged 1t back to give to the king, Of
whom he was very fond.
He was the maddest king you ever
heard Of when he saw that dead drag
on. He sent off at once for the knights
who claimed to have fought 1t.
"Yo1 old humbugsr' cried the king.
There's the dragon you Dragged about
lighting It wasn't a thing but skin
and air. II you'd so much as touched
1t with the point OF q sword 1t would
have gone to pieces as It did when
my brave little page boy struck 1t with
his butterfly net"
Then the king made all the fibbing
knights give the little page boy the
gifts he had given them for fighting
the dragon, and the little page boy was
then so rich lie bought a castle Of his
own.

WILL SOON REPAIR ALL
SEIZED MERCHANT SHIPS
President Has Formally Conveyed
Title of German Vessels In
United States Ports.

WashingtOn.-Eighty of the
German merchant ships seized in
American ports ut the outbreak of war
were turned over by President Wilson
to the shipping board for operation.
The other fourteen already are In pos
session of the navy department.
Title to the vessels was vested I'm
the president In a resolution passed
by congress in May. Many of them
already have been repaired and put
into service by the shipping board,
which proceeded unofficially without
awaiting executive order giving it for
mal jurisdiction.
The total tonnage Of the eighty-seven
ships exceeds 100000. Several have
gone to the war department for trans
ports, but it has not been decided def
initely whether they are TO remain
under control Of the department or re-
vert to the shipping board. The presi-
dents order nominally puts all under
the boards control
The ships retained for commercial
service will be put for the most part
into transatlantic runs, though several
TO be brought from Manila to the Pa
cific coast for repairs may be kept in
the Pacific. Those at Honolulu, too,
may remain In the Pacific to move the
Aat amount of freight awaiting ship
ent along the coast to Vladivostok.
The shipping board has announced
general policy concerning operation
the German ships or Of the feet the
oyernment Is building, but 1t is I'M
srstood vessels will be chartered for
.ngle trips. This plan was pursued
y the board in chartering the first
hips repaired to the French and Ital-
an governments for transportation OF
food and coal. The board, it is said,
has no intention of operating ships
directly and thus competing with pri-
vate shipping concerns.
Virtually all of the ships soon will
be repaired and In service.

Martyr Heroes Of Red Cross.
The tale Of victims to the white nag
crossed with red" is long one. Medi-
cal men, nurses, ambulances bearers
and helpers have fallen by scores.
sometimes under fire, sometimes strick-
en- by typhus. The representatives OF
the Russian Red Cross followed the
advance guard into action at tie at
tack OF Kheok-Tepe. Twelve Of them
paid for 1t with their lives; six were
wounded. The Dutch on the outbreak
OF war with the sultan Of Atchin sent
a messenger to announce their inten-
ton Of adhering to the convention. The
messenger was murdered. The Ital-
ian Red Cross society during the Abys-
sinian war escorted the wounded to
Massaua through savage and hos
tile country. At Abba Carima 6fty
surgeons Of the Italian army were kill
ed or left for dead upon the field. Many
fell under fire In the act Of relieving
the wounded; others were savagely
stoned to death by the Abyssinians.
