SANS
CULOTTE

A German professor, writing in the
Frankfurther Zeitung, to aid OF
Garfield. He points out that print
tive peoples do not require much heat
and urges a return to the methods of
the earlier days, instancing the An
dean Indians, who, given a blanket to
wrap about their head and shoulders,
do not mind If their bare legs stick
out in the snow. 1t may take some
time. however. to develop a trouser-
less race in this country-longer. at
n rate, than we think Garfeld's
term of office will be; but this much
is to be said: Prior to the war, when
we were experiencing the dubious
benefits of Democratic laws untem-
pered by the profits of war, we were
coming to a point where the trouser-
less man was not SO very far off.

PRECEDED BY
DEEDS

The contract for making airplanes
which Secretary Bakers brother got
and which Secretary Baker cancelled,
was not a bad one, as war contracts
go; and the Secretary's explanation
is entirely competent and correct.
But it is not out of place to remind
the country that the Secretary said
nothing about this contract in either
of his two long speeches to the Sen
ate investigating committee. and that
he said nothing about it anywhere, so
far as can be learned, until after the
facts had been brought out by Colonel
Deeds, who appeared before the COM
mittee later than Secretary Baker did.

STUNG TO
ACTION

President Wilson says that he wants
mo discord to encourage the enemy .
The trouble has been that want of dis
cord was what encouraged the enemy.
AS long as bureaucracy was pursuing
the even and languid tenor of its way
with our soldiers under-clothed, un-
der-armed and huddled in insanitary
quarters. the enemy had all the en-
couragement he could desire. When
an investigating committee stirred the
department to action things began to
look d~iscouraging t the kaiser.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS

(An answer 10 the beautiful poem
by Lieut. Col. John McCrae.)
In Flanders fields the cannon boom
And 1tful flashes light the gloom.
While up above, like eagles, fly
The fierce dcstroyers OF the sky:
With stains, the earth wherein yon
lie
Is redder than the poppy bloom
In Flanders fields.
Sleep on. ye brave. The shriekine
shell,
The quaking trench, the startled yell.
The fury Of the battle hell
Shall wake you not for all is well.
Sleep peacefully, for all is well.
Your flaming torch aloft we bear.
With burning heart an oath we
swear
70 keep the faith, 30 fight IL thru.
10 crush the foe or sleep with you
In Flanders fields.

THE POCKETS

For a Paris weekend, so TO speak.
But before the big party, our Yank
boys stepped in
And with poilus and Tommies,
caused Heinie TO spin
Clear about in his tracks and start
back for Berlin
And the pocket was bare in week
In the pockets at home, we have
billions Of gold
We've collected for labor or things
that we've sold.
And the channels into which that
pelf might be rolled
Would be harder to count than
the sands.
But before any rolls let our Yanks

Gather round from the front and the
sides and the rear
Till the pockets are emptied-or

Only in one short sector along the

nearly all Of Belgium. a great broad

forth in the following letters-one
written by the immortal Lincoln 10
mother who had given five sons
in the cause Of freedom during the
Civil War; the other written by the
German Kaiser TO a German mother.
who had sacrificed nine sons on the
altar Of Moloch TO crafty autocracy's
lust for blood and world empire:
Lincoln's Letter
Dear Madam: I have been shown
in the files of the War Department,
a statement of the adiutant general
of Massachusetts,, that you are the
mother of FIVE sons who have died
gloriously on the field of battle. I
feel how weak and fruitless must be
any words of mine which should
attempt TO beguile you from the
grief Of a loss so overwhelming. But
| cannot refrain from rendering to
you the consolation that may be
found in the thanks of the republic
they died TO save. / pray that our
Heavenly Father may assuase the
anguish Of your bereavement and
leave you only the cherished mem
ory of the loved and lost and the
solemn pride that must be yours to
have laid so costly a sacrifice upon
the altar of freedom.
The Kaiser's Letter
His majesty the kaiser hears
that you have sacrificed nine sons
in defense Of the fatherland in the
present war. His majesty is i'm
mensely gratifed at the fact, and in
recognition is pleased TO send you

DARE DEVILS OF WAR
By Henry James Buxton

Where is little Charlie GinsbergS
This question was asked by an
American soldier just after a red
hot engagement with the Huns,
northwest Of Chateau Thierry.
The last saw Of Charlie" said
a Yankee. he was chucking gren-
AIDES and tickling Huns with his
trench knife. He had a ring Of dead
Boches around him. I guess Char
lie has clicked IL. and we will never
hear him whistle any more" Char
lie Ginsberg was the company's
suuspot q optimism. He always
had a good laugh ready and he could
whistle like a canary. On still
nights Charles whistle made even
the Boche forget TO snipe and just
listen. There was a pretty sood whis-
tier back q the Boche wire, too.
and sometimes he would join in and
then there was a duet.
Before Private Charlie Ginsbers
went 10 killing Huns he was a new
sic in New York.
Well. what are we going 10 do
about il, hold a funeral service?'
inquired one Of the Yanks.
Nothing else TO do as | can see"
said another.
Just then there was a cracking
in the bushes to the right Of the
American position.
A score Of Yankee rifles were
trained on the spot Immediately.
Then something happened which
made the Yanks lower their rifles.
II was Charlie. wearing a helmet
that looked like a wash boiler. He
rad his bayonet pressed against the
spine Of a tall Hun. who had both
hands upraised.
Its me. boys shouted Charlie.
Il amt kilt an | bagged a good
one dis time
He gave his prisoner a prod with
his bayonet and commanded:
Now. Dutchie. We'll have the Star
Spsngled Banner
Both Charlie and the Boche purs-
ed their lips and then began the
sweetest whistling duet the SOL
diers had heard in many a long day.
Before the pair had whistled two
stanzas Of the Yankee battle hymn.
the Yanks had tumbled-Charlie
Ginsberg had bagged the whistler
OF the German trenches.
