AFTER THE WAR SHOULD

WE DID BEFORE THE WARa
(By Ellis Parker Butler of the

(By Ellis Parker Butler Of the
vigilantes.)
We are at war with Germany and
in due time one or the other OF US
will be licked. In my opinion 1t will
be Germany that will be licked
And
We Americans are good sports and
too apt to feel generously toward
those we have licked
And
OF course, 1t Is all right for me to
shake hands with man l have licked
in fair fight
That Is no reason why should shake
hands with burglar that I have pre-
vented from robbing my home
Or
Embrace degenerate because I have
knocked him down and prevented him
from doing rape
Or
Hug a pirate because I have stopped
his career of lawless crime
Or
Kiss blood-dripping murderer be-
causeI have warded off the knife he
had raised to murder me and my fam
lily.
So
l say and hope you feel the same
way about it-that although we may
have had some respect for Germany
before the war, we now know that pi-
rate-murderer nation for what 1t is
And
After the war Germany must be treat
ed as an outlawed criminal unfit for
the company of decent nations, to be
ostracized and boycotted.

TO THE HUN

(By Marion Couthouy Smith of the

You who have known no pity. the
chains you forged shall bind you:
You shall hear on every path you
tread the steps Of doom behind you;
The dreadful eyes Of little child
shall stare in the dark and blind
you.
You who have struck the dying, what
star in heaven shall hold you?
The vagrant spirits of stark space
shall flee when they behold YOU;
No light shall dawn on your failing
eyes when the mists Of death en-
fold you.
You whose spreading treacher'es al,
faith, all truth, have riven,
Who have trampled every crown of
right for which mans soul has
striven,
Would justice live on the earth again
if you could be forgiven?
You who have known no honor, what
spacious words reprieve your
When you shall plead your evil cause
what blind souls can believe you?
II you crawl to the council chamber
what kind hands can receive you?
Among all men to the end your pres
ence shall sound warning;
No rightful share can be for you il
the joy Of earth's new morning;
But the mercy none may dare with
hold we shall grant you through oul
scorning.

That morning. In crossing the line
on early morning patrol. I noticed
two German balloons. I decided that
as soon as my patrol was over l
would go of on my own hook and see
what a German balloon looked like
at close quarters.
These observation balloons are used
by both sides In conjunction with the
artillery. A man sits up in the bal
loon with a wireless apparatus and d.
reefs the firing of the guns. From his
point Of vantage he can follow the
work Of his own artillery with a re-
markable degree of accuracy and at
the same time he can observe the enc
my's movements and report them.
The Germans are very good at this
work, and they use great number Of

As their tracer bullets came closer
and closer to me realized that my
chances OF escape were nil. Their very
next shot. felt, must hit me.
Once. some days before, when was
flying over the line, had watched a
fight above me. A German machine
was set on fire. and Owed down
through our formation in flames on its
way to the ground. The Hun was div
Ing at such sharp angle that both

within few hundred feet Of me saw
the look Of horror on his face.
Now. when 1 expected any moment
to suffer similar fate, could not

realized that my only chance lay
In making an Immelman turn. This
maneuver was invented by a German
one Of the greatest who ever flew and
who was killed In action some time be-
fore. This turn, which made success
fully. brought one of their machines
right In front Of me. and as he sailed
along barely ten yards away. had

His white face and startled eyes l
can still see. He knew beyond Ques-
ton that his last moment had come,
because his position prevented his TAX
ing aim at me. while my gun pointed
straight at him. My first tracer bullet
passed within a yard OF his head. the
second looked as II it hit his shoulder.
the third struck him In the neck. and
then I let him have the whole works,
and he went down In q spinning nose
dive.
All this time the three other Hun
machines were shooting away at me.
I could hear the bullets striking my
machine one after another. hadn't
the slightest idea that l could ever
beat Off those three Huns, but there
was nothing for me to do but fight, and
my hands were full.

at my instruments. and my altitude
was between 5000 and 5000 feet
While I was still looking at the In

wound had prevented me from talking.
but I said enough to let him know
what was doing there and how I
happened to be thers. Zig eyidsqflI
had heard my story from some d tie
others. though, because he said II was
too bad I had not broken my neck:
that he did not have much sympathy
with the flying corps anyway. He
asked me what part Of America came
from. and told him ''Caiifornia."
After . few more questions no
learned that hailed from San Fran
cisco. and then added to my distress
by saying, "How would you Ike to
have q good, juicy steak right out OF
the Hofbrauf" Naturally I told him
It would ''hit the spot" but I hardly
thought my mouth was In shape Just
then to eat 1t. Immediately asked.
Of course, what he knew about the
Hofbrau, and he replied. 81 was con-
nected with the place q good many
years. and I ought to know all about
It."
After that this German ofiicer and
became rather chummy; that Is, as
far rs could be chummy with an
enemy. and We whiled away a good
many long hours talking about the
days we had spent in San Francisco,
and frequently In the conversation one
Of us would mention some prominent
Californian. or some little Incident oc-
curing there. with which We were
both familiar.
He told me when war was declared
he was, Of course. intensely patriotic
and thought the only thing for him to
do was to go back and aid In the de-
Tense Of his country. He found that
he could not go directly from San
Francisco. because the water was too
well guarded by the English. so he
boarded boat for South America.
There he obtained n forged passport
and In the guise of Montcvidean took
passage for New York and from there
to England.
He passed through England without
any difficulty on his forged passport,
but concluded not to risk going to Hol-
land for fear Of exciting too much sus-
picion, SO went down through the
Strait Of Gibraltar to Italy. which was
neutral at that time, up to Austria,

England. there were two suspects
taken of the ship. men that he was
sure were neutral subjects. but much
to his relief his own passport and Gre
dentials were examined and passed

The Hun spoke Of his voyage from
America to England as being excep-
tionally pleasant, and said he had a
fine time, because he associated with
the English passengers on board. his
fluent English readily admitting him
to several spirited arguments on the
subject Of the war, which he keenly
enjoyed. One little incident he related
revealed the remarkable tact which
QUE enemy displayed In his associa-
lions at sea. which no doubt resulted
advantageously for him. As he ex-
pressed 1t. he "made a hit" one evening
when the crowd has assembled for a
little music by suggesting that they
sing "God Save the King" Thereafter
his popularity was assured and the de-
sired effect accomplished, for very
soon French officer came up to him
and said. "It's too bad that England
and ourselves haven't men In our army
like you" It was too bad, he agreed.
In telling me about 1t. because he was
confident he could have done a whole
lot more for Germany II he had been
In the English army. In spite Of his
apparent loyalty, however, the man
didn't seem very enthusiastic over the
war and frankly admitted one day that
the old political battles waged In Cali
fornia were much more to his liking
than the battles he had gone through
over here. On second thought he
laughed as though 1t were good joke.

that he had taken q keen interest In
politics In San Francisco.

very important part Of our work to
keep them out of the sky.
There are two ways of going after

to cross the lines at low altitude, fiy-
ing so near the ground that the man
with the antiaircraft gun can't bother
you. You fly along until you get to the
level Of the balloon and II, In the
meantime. they have not drawn the
balloon down. you open fire on 1t and
the bullets you use will set it ON fire
If they land.
The other way is to fly over where
you know the balloons to be, put your
machine In a spin SO that they can't
hit you, get above them, spin over the
balloon and then open fire. In going
back over the line you cross at a few
hundred feet.
This Is one Of the hardest Jobs in
the service. There is less danger in
attacking an enemy's aircraft.
Nevertheless. had made up my
mind to either get those balloons or
make them descend. and I only hoped
that they would stay on the job until
