Wilhelm s Pledge

Bill said, on February first,
when he turned loose his subma-
rines, "Now, by the sacred liver
wurst, I'll show the world what
warfare means. I'll show the
world that German might is
master of the land and seas; I'll
end this most annoying fight, and
bring proud Britain to her
knees" And Germans took the
kaiser's word, they said, Hell
surely cut the grass; he is
peach, he is bird, and what he
says will come to pass" They
frightened up their belts a notch,
convinced they'd cook the allied
goose, and grimly set themselves
to watch old England begging
for a truce. The weary months
have rolled away, on every sea
her vessels float, and England's
mightier today than when the
U-boats sought her goat. Six
weeks or so will do the trick
the kaiser told his hopeful dupes;
"I'll make their ocean commerce
sick, and Hindenburg will can
their troops" l wonder what
the Germans say, as they toll on
with frightened belts, while Haig
