POOR OLD GERMANY

The Turks are growing tired, they
say, of Prussian bluff and Dragging;
the spirits of their armed array
have recently been sagging The
Teuts pursue their martial track
and gather in the phlnder, while
Turkish statesmen hold the sack,
and cuss their luck like thunder
The Buigars now begin To wish
they hadn't spread their bunting;
the Germans carry off the fish while
they for bait are hunting. And
even Austria is sore, the way the
Prussians use her; the truth comes
to her DER and DER, shes bound to
be a loser She S learned at last that
Bill the Hun is but base decEiver,
and if the war be lost or won. she's
due to get the cleaver And
Russia's 5 weary of the peace the
Teut imposed upon her; she draws
her sword with, elbow grease, and
would retrieve her honor When
Kaiser Wilhelm reads the news,
his mind Is surely reeling, and with
his large all-highest shoes he kicks
holes through the ceiling

American Filters Now
With French Are Soon
To Receive Promotions

Paris. France, Jan. 12.-Nearly 300
American youths are either flying at
the front in the French aviation serv-
ice or are finishing their training at
various French flying schools in
France.
They are all volunteers and were
recruited chiefly from the ambulance
services, where they were formerly
drivers on the French front.
They are already separate and dis
tinct from the hundreds of American
youths who are in the aviation branch
of the signal corps OF the United
States army and who are receiving
their training in various schools taken
over from the French army.
It is expected that all OF these
Americans now officially with the
French army will be taken over by
the American expeditionary force IN
der the command Of Gen. Pershingr
soon
Those who have been actively en-
gagged in aerial fighting for some
time, like the members of the Lafay
cite Escadrille and a score or more
other Americans attached to various
French units, will proba bly, receive
captaincies in the United States army.
Others. who have only been at the
front for short time, will be made
first lieutenants, and it is expected
that all the rest-practically every
man holding brevet from the French
schools viii be made a second lieuten-
ant in the United States army.

These rumors have been in circula-

frequently started in order to deceive
the federal forces as to the real
movements Of Martin Lopez's COM

Rumors Of trouble IN the federal
