THE KAISER MET THE DEVIL

The Kaiser met the Devil in an agi-
tated way and the Devil stopped his
prodding just to hear what Bill would
say.
Bill approached him quite con-
tritely, for he wanted something
donet he would make his endeavor to
enlist him with the Hun.
So he said. "My dear good Satan,
I'm in trouble, I'm afraid; if we do
not work together, sure as hell, my
grave is made. I have worried and
I've wondered, and the Huns stand
in dismay, when they hear the prep
arations over in the u s. A.
q had thought that Colt was with
me, but of late He's hard as bone, so
I've come for your assistance and
we'll GUST Him from His throne. Now
dear Satan, won't you help me?
We're team that would work we'll,
and when the awful war is over we'll
own Heaven, Earth and He'll.
81 surely am disguised with the
Colt up in. the skies, instead Of help
ing me He's helping the Allies Just
say the word and I'll abide; you
come along, but I'll decide; and to-
night at just eleven, I'll call out a
string of Zeppelins and we'll make
raid on Heaven"
All this while old Satan wondered.
Scratched his head and then he pom
dered When he found his equilib.
rum, after Bill had gotten through,
he addressed Bill Hohenzollern in
these words, sever and true:
you're dirty, low-brow migrate;
you're the worst ever knew; you
are dippy. talking flighty, and to win
your greatest blunder you would
wreck your God Almighty
"You for years have had notion
that you had a regular call, and some
day you'd rule in Heaven, but oh,
Bill. you'll gea a fall And this fall
is not for distant; it is coming sure
as hell, for the Allies have your meas
ure and they'll fix you good well.
you have stopped to the lowest
level; you have broken every rule;
all the world is now against you
you're great big jackass fool.
81 don't like your talk of methods;
I'm the Devil, that is true, but you've
wrecked and butchered millions and
have no use for you

but I've watched you all the while;
and for downright. onery meanness
you have the Devil skinned mile.

the groans and shrieks of hell, you
hae equalled and surpassed them and
you know 1t mighty we'll.
"Now Kaiser Wilhelm, listen:
you'll not finish fwhat you've started;
the Hohenzollern family and throne
will soon have parted.
"You heard from President Wilson,
he told you what he'd do, but you
thought he was only bluffing, now you
know he's coming through. Over

PEACE BONDS.
Chicago Tribune.

Some well intentioned but misguided
persons among US have thought to buy
no Liberty bonds because there is peace
in prospect Wrong; two ways wrong.
The peace in prospect is German
peace. None other has been offered Us.
Shall we have that kind Of peace? No,
YOU say. What kind of peace, then :?
The kind we shall dictate, you say.
President Wilson has been furiously
bombared with demands that we take
no other course.
Well, then, if you propose to dictate
peace how shall you do it? BY force Of
arms, certainly And maintain that
force how? With money; with our
moral and material support; in short,
with Liberty bonds Liberty bonds are
peace az well as war bonds.
There is no discussion Of supporting a
failing army You are supporting a
victorious army an army that is max
ing The Liberty bond more valuable each
day, Each day the army advances, so
advances the value of the bond When
the army forces unconditional surrender
the bond will soar.
1t is no way to argue that to stop buy
ing bonds will invoke peace But peace,
bought with bonds, will follow the pur-
chase Of those bonds.
The bonds you already have bought
have set the enemy to talking terms
The bonds you must buy will set him to
crying for terms. The peace he talks is
ridiculous. He has said that treaties,
promises, that is, are worthless to the

One thing is more than likely: Herbert

condition of the people shaving after five
years Of war and final struggle, which
left them PROSTATE And a call will
come to us to lend them aid and we will
deny ourselves still more for the sake
of our enemies. If this nation is spirit

then indeed may we believe with conf

is here.
