The Kaiser's Talk to He'll.

The Kaiser called the Devil up
On the telephone one day,
The girl at central listened
To all they had to say.
Hello, she heard the Kaiser's voice,
Is Old Man Satan home? ).
Just tell him it is Kaiser Bill
That wants him on the phone.
The Devil said, Hello, to Bill,
And Bill said, how are you?
Pm running here a hell on earth,
So tell me what to do.
What can 1 do, the Devil said,
My Dear Old Kaiser Bill
If there's thing that l can do
To help you, l sure will.
The Kaiser said, now listen
And 1 will try to tell
The way that 1 am running
On earth a modern hell.
I've saved for this for many years,
And I've started out to kill,
That it will be a modern job
You leave to Kaiser Bill.
My army went through Belgium,
Shooting women and children down,
We tore up all her country
And blew up all her towns.
My Zepps dropped bombs on cities,
Killing both old and young
And those the Zeppelins didn't get
Were taken out and hung.
I started out for Paris,
With the aid of poisonous gas;
The Belgians, darn them, stopped us,
And would not let us pass.
My submarines are devils,
Why, you should see them fight,
They go sneaking through the sea,
And will sink ship on sight.
I was running things to suit me
Till a year or SO ago,
When man named Woodrow Wilson
Wrote to go more slow.
He says to me, Dear William,
We don't want to make you sore,
So be sure to tell your U-boats
Not to sink our ships no more.
We have told you for the last time,
So, Dear Bill, it's up to you,
And if you do not stop it,
You'll have to fight us, too.
l did not listen to him,
And he's coming after me
With a million Yankee soldiers
From their home across the sea.
Now, that's why I called you, Satan,
For l want advice from you;
I knew that you would tell me
Just what ought to do.
My Dear Old Kaiser William,
There's not much for me to tell,
For the Yanks will make it hotter
Than I can for you in hell.
I've been a mean old devil,
But not half as mean as you,
And the minute that you get here
1 will give my job to you.
I'll be ready for your coming,
And I'll keep the fires bright,
And I'll have your room all ready
When the Yanks begin to fight.
For the boys in khaki will get you,
l have nothing more to tell;
Hang up the phone and get your hat
And meet me here in hell.

Auto Accidents.

Sunday on the Derby Charleston
road another auto accident occurred.
Details are lacking although we are
informed that the car belonged in
Colebrook, N. H., and one woman was
quite badly hurt. The cause is sup
posed to be a combination of whiskey
and gasoline which is unsafe.
The Ford cream truck owned and
driven by Anne Dore, struck the ce-
ment abutment of the bridge near w.
S. Hammond's, leaving the road at
right angles with it and going over
the bank. There were four young men
riding and SO empty cans. A bent
rod interfered with the steering, al
though too fast driving down the
grade was also a menace. No one
was hurt although the damage was
considerable.

Plan to Make Nation
Dry in Six Months

Washington, July 6.-Prohibition
advocates in the Senate planned yes
terday to seek changes in the pend
ing Norris amendment to the emer-
gency agricultural appropriation bill
so as to prohibit the sale of whisky,
beer or wine after six months.
AS reported to the Senate, the Nor
ris amendment prohibits the sale or
withdrawal from bond of distilled
spirits and the manufacturing of
wine. except for export. after June
30,> 1919. 1t would forbid the manu-
facture of beer three months after
approval of the bill by the President
Senator Norris, of Nebraska; Sena-
tor Hendricks, of Wyoming. and 9TH
er prohibition leaders now want to
make the period six months for all
intoxicants. If a recess is taken to-
morrow. as planned, they will make
their fight for the change as soon as
Congress reconvenes.
Senator Gore, chairman of the
Senate Agriculture Committee, an
nounced that unless Congress re-
cesses in the meantime he will call
the committee together Monday to
consider the proposed changes in the
amendment. A majority of the COM
mittee members were said to favor
the changes.

Senate Orders Probe
of McAdOo Tunnels

Washington, July 6.-Investigation
of the Governments reasons for
holding and operating the electric
railroad tubes between New York,
Jersey City and Newark, known as
the McAdoo tunnels, was ordered by
the Senate yesterday when the body
adopted Senator Frelinghuy sens reso-
luton instructing the Commerce
Committee to make the inquiry.
The resolution asserts that these
electric lines are not used in the
transportation of freight nor of SOL
diers and their operation has nothing
to do with the war work of the Gov
ernment. The Commerce Committee
is directed to ascertain why the Di-
rector-General of Railroads is hold
ing these suburban electric lines and
operating them, why the fare from
New York to Newark has been In
creased sixty per cent. and why the
fare from New York to Jersey City
was first advanced 100 per cent. and
then reduced to the original rate of
cents.
Mr.. McAdoo, or some one represent
ing him, will be called upon to ex-
plain the situation. While Senator
Frelinghuysen in asking for the in
vestigation is apparently prompted
by the desire of his constituents in
New Jersey to learn why they are
paying increased fares, there is doubt
in the Senate whether the operation
of these lines by the Government, at
an increased cost to the travelling
public, can be justified.
