Observation-Disclosures
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 say,
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 do the Devil said,
My dear old Kaiser Bill,
If there's thing that l can do
To help you sure l will.
The Kaiser said now listen,
And l will try to tell
The way that l 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 blowed up all her towns.
My Zepps dropet bombs on cities,
Killing both the old and young,
And them the Zeppels didn't get
Were taken out and hung.

With the aid of poisonous gas

And would not let us pass.

And will sink ship at sight.
was running things to suit me
Till a year or so ago,
When a man called Woodrow Wilson
Wrote me 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, its up to you
And if you do not stop it
You have got to fight us too.

And he's coming after me,
With a million Yankee soldiers
From their home across the sea
Now that's why | called you, Satan,
For | want advice from you,
| nnew that you would tell me
Just what l had ought to do.
Ny dear old Kaiser William,
There's not much left to tell
For the Yanks will make it hotter
Than | 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
| 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.
The boys in blue will get you,
If you don't watch out.
AS / have nothing more to tell,
Hang up the phone and get your hat
And meet me here in hell.

MAY HAVE STRUCK MINE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. TT thought possible
here that the survivors Of the British not repor
ted in the war officer advces and that this might arcount
for the difference in the number of missing
There is speculation the possibility that the
Tuscania might have struck mine The indicated loca
ton of the disaster in region not previously requened
by submarines but the text of the official announcements
say the ship topedced and there is nothing to JUST
fy going behind the official statement
The Tuscania must have remained atfloat considea
BILE time Runors current today which could not be
traced to any source that the vessel is still afoa
While the loss indicated is fully appreciated by off
Gals here there must have been general aid relief which
kept the loss from being larger The process Of convoy
ing has become almost routine through practice in both
the British and American naves but it pointed out
that the one chance against which absolute precauon
will not guard that submarine will come up in the path
of the approaching transport and obtain the sight that will
permit her to train her torpedo tubes by compass and
Iagain submerge.

ted might come our way if we go after
it. please read his note and then quiet
II put yourself in trim for a fight
Cordele and crisp county could grace

You might call us anything old and

anything, we raise potatoes: If we
have much confidence III ourselves
we can win that potato drying estab-
lishment.
But here is what Judge Fleming says
editor Dispatch:
"A dispatch appearing in Sunday pa
pers gave information that at the SEN
ate agricultural bill on February End,
it developed that an appropriation of
$4,000 is to be provided for the cree
tion Of a sweet potato drying plant at
some point in South Georgia, it being
the purpose of the government TO dem
onstrate the practicability of such a
process as a bread crop.
There may be some taters in this
hill and that Cordele has only to dig
for them. Why not go to digging? If
Americas can get an aviation plant,
and other towns get this or that, why
can't Cordele land a later plant? Cor
dele is in the middle of a mighty good
yam producing section, and we have
the facilities and plenty of vacant
ground for the plant

FAIR RETURNS

WASHINGTON. February 7. -
Chairman Smith OF the Interstate Com
merce Committee in reporting favora-
bly, to The senate today the Admins
traticn Railroad bill estimated that
under the bill the government will
guarantee annually to the railroads
mile hundred and forty millions

Agreement on the bill was reached
last Saturday but the minority reports
had to be submitted by Senators Cum
Minis and Lafollette.
Administration leaders plan to call
the bill up for consideration next Mon
