How to Punish the Kaiser.
BY Edmund Vance Cooke.

BY Edmund vance tooke'
Well the Kaiser is ours we have got him
From the rampants of power he is hurled.
With the best Of blood we have bought hin
This who has murdered a world
And what shall do with the Jackal,
Shall we hoist him by block and by tackle
To swing till his dead shall awake:
What then? though we flay him
And flout him and say him,
He has only one life may take.
One lie for the millions OF martyrs
For the MANNED, the be-fouled, the diseased
To hang him. To rcnd him in quarters
And then, his horrors appeasCd3
So what though we Judge him and jail him.
Or what through rack and rail him
Like vulture be-tarred to pole
Yet how shall be punish
This Hun super Hunnish
Unless we shall hnd him soul:
4 soul do you think ono created
With the Whit of a soul in his plan
Could have battened on babies, or stated
His pride in the entrails of man.
50 how shall we send to revcls
Di harpies and demons and DEVILS
Where his crimes. might be properly pollcd.
For helIs fires coalless
To him who is soulless
So how shall the Kaiser be souledo
Well, build him tower in the city
And atop in a chamber of glass
Where no one shall hate him, or pity,
Or shall ever look up they pass,
But where he shall see the world round him
Pass on, ever on, to confound him.
BY not even damning his sins,
And when even his rottenness
Fades to forgottenness
Then his punishment fairly begins
When he learns there is no one to prize him
For the rest of eternity's term
Nay, no one to even despise him!
When he hnds he is less than a worm
Than worm in some corpse he has slaughtered
Than germ in some WELL poison-watered
When he learns what his ultimate role
Then expressed by some decimal
lntntcsimal!
The Kaiser may find him-a soul!

Attitude Toward Business,


We are facing a time when there Is
going to be the greatest need for the
wisest governmental attitude toward
business and toward this whole sub
ject of reconstruction. Are we to con-
tinue price control. or shall we have
freedom OF competition? II foreign
buyers are given credit and are per
mitted free access to our mark kets. will
they rob us OF our raw material and
leave the workshops bare and tho
workmen empty-handed? Should the
new league of nations take stock of
the whole worlds store of raw ma
terial and for a time ration each ma
ton according to its needs?
These are all questions of tremen-
dous import and We should have we'll
considered opinions, for we cannot ex-
pect to have the government have
sounder judgment than the sum-total
of public opinion.
The problem of rehabilitation is
going to be one of great Importance.
We have found the operation of the
selective draft to be on the whole sat
isfactory. Should the seleCtive prin-
ciple which would bring back into
commerce and industry first those men
best fitted and most needed, be ap-
piled to the rehabilitation process
We have our duty towards recon-
struCtion as clearly as we had our
duty towards the war. Let us con-
tinue to be altruistic. II we render to
the world a great service we can rest
easy about our reward We have a
great opportunity. Let Us see what
we can make OF this opportunity. not
what we can make out of it,

Great Foreign Trade.

Our ability to develop a great tor-
eign trade depends on the willingness
of the country to absorb more foreign
securities. One thing the war has
shown us is that we greatly under
estimated the strength of our finan-
cial position Our savings, our ability
to make new Investments, jumpad
from Sc Fnn n00n00 wear to a total this
year of 1900, ,00S, 600.
Our capacity to save is so great that
It seems clear that we can probably
devote a very large amount of our
savings to investment in foreign Sc
curities. I believe that the total is
not less than $1,000, 0Oo,c0O year. The
banks and the investment houses have
a great role to play in wisely-selected
foreign investments and intelligently
popularizing them with our investors.
The financial change in the position
of the United states brought about
by the war is one of its most signifi-
cant results. In the period from the
wars outbreak to the time that we.
ourselves. entered the struggle. this
country bought back of our own Sc
curities held abroad about $500 900. CO.,
1t purchased the obligations of for
eign governments to a total of some
81, 400, 900, ,0O0, and now since our entry,
our government has loaned our asso-
ciates over $500 10000 This, with
the increase of foreign bank credits,
makes a total change in our situa-
ton measured by about sl2, 500. .000. 900.

RHEUMATISM
Physician Believes a Genuine Remedy
for the Disease Has
Been Found

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism
remedy sold by Fisher Bros. and all
druggists, gives quicker and more last
ing relief than other remedies costing
many times as much.
Rheuma passes the deadly poisonous
secretions into the bowels and kid
neys, from which they are quickly
thrown off in natural healthy way.
Read what reputable physician
says about Rheuma: Il have made a
most careful investigation of the for
mula employed in the manufacture of
Rheuma, and I heartily recommend it
as a remedy for all forms of rheuma-
tism. l find Rheuma far in advance
of the methods generally employed in
the treatment of rheumatism, and al
together different in composition from
the remedies usually prescribed. -
DR.. M. G. Lyons.
This should give any sufferer from
rheumatism confidence to try Rheuma.
