A Hot One.

Was it at a meeting of our aircraft
officials? > Perhaps it was and perhaps
1t wasn't. Anyway, a member was pro-
testing vigorously against the snail-like
progress in turning out things that
were sorely needed. A "scene" ensued
and the chairman tried to pour Oil on
the troubled waters.
"Mr. Blank must remember" said
he, that Rome wasn't built in a day"
II know it wasn't" retorted the pro-
testing member, "and If this board had
had the work to do it wouldn't be built
yet."-Boston Transcript.

WHY WE FIGHT.

Hush. For it may be old satan's
plan
To have the angel Gabriel throw
The kaiser in Gods command,
And let the ancient devil go;
We would suggest that both be bound
And hurled together in the pit
No peace on earth will e''r be form
ed
Until they both are made to quit.
Let's not make Gabriel do it all.
OF course, his is a spiritual work;
But We can help in Satan's fall,
Then fight and feed and never shirk.
For long we tried to keep away,
Tho hideous crimes we all could see;
We hoped that soon a better day
Would find the smaller nations free.
The kaiser's friends kept bowling
"Peasche,"
The while his fiends went on to
kill
Our people and all crimes increased.
While imps of his bowed to his will
Since kaiser's people schandt NIT
him,
They're party to his meanness. too.
Then Lick the stuffin' outen" them
Is all consistent folks could do
You say We ought have sold no guns,
That we have never neutral been:
You are the first and only ones
That have the great unpardoning sin.
For when two men duel fight,
Both men should have loaded gun:
And if one shoots, it is not right
Until the duel has begun.
Still, some, II seems, refuse to fight
For fear they might the German hurt,
To see us schagne de blutty shirdt."
What other thing could humans do
Since kaiser's friends had shot us in.
But fight to be Americans true
And help the humane folks to win.
Besides we had but little choice;
The Germans kept a-shooting us"
We listened to your ''peaschful'
voice.
Til high officials broke their trust.
You shot us up! Well shoot you
down
Until you won't do so again.
Well strip the kaiser of his crown:
We think the Lord will say Amen"
