Let Him LiOe

1Ig AS long as flowers their perfume give
dg So long I'd let the kaiser live
6g Live and live for million years,
Tg With nothing to drink but Belgian tears
Ig would let him live dinner each day
Ig Served from silver a golden tray
Ig Served with things both dainty and sweet
gS Served with everything but things to eat.
gE I'd make him a bed of silken sheen
Ok With costly linen to lie between,
gSS With covers of down and fillets of lace,
g5S And downy pillows piled in place;
g5 Yet when to its comfort he would yield,
B5 1T should stink with rot of the battlefield
99FE And blood and bones and brains Of men
Isl Should cover him, smother him and then
56 His pillows should cling with the rotten cloy-
IS Cloy from the grave of a soldier boy,
356 And while Gods stars their vigils keep
51 And while the waves the white sands sweep
56 He should never, sleep.
l6 And through all the days. through all the years.
6 There should be anthem in his ears,
l Ringing and singing and never done
6 From the edge of light to the setting sun,
b Moaning and moaning and moaning wild
b ravaged French girls bastard child!
g would build him castle by the sea,
q AS lovely castle ever could be;
g ThenI ID show him ship from the sea,
9 As fine ship ever could be,
Laden with water cold and sweet
9 Laden with everything good to eat;
9 Yet scarce does she touch the silver sands
Scarce may he reach his eager hands,
9 Than hot and hellish molten shell
Should change his heaven into hell.
In ''No Man Land, - where the Irish fell,
I'd start the kaiser private hell;
I'd iab him. stab him. give him gas;
In every wound I'd pour ground glass;
: I'd march him out where the brave boys died
: Out past the lads he crucifed
: In the fearful gloom of his living tomb
: There is one thing ID do before I was through
I'd make him sing in a stirring manner,

Physical Training.
est. Adams Messcnger.)

Physical training from now on is
going to be compulsory in the public
schools of Burlington, according to a
decision reached last night by the
school board of the Queen City. This
is an example which might well be
followed by the other communities in
the state.
Examinations for military service
under the draft have disclosed an UNI
satisfactory state OF affairs There
have been altogether too many rejec-
tions for physical disability, for dis
abilities which would not have existed
had the young men of the nation been
given the proper kind of physical train
ing Manual and bodily training
should go hand in hand. Health is
the choicest possession of any lndivid-
ual, and it is as much the duty of the
state to preserve and strengthen health
as it is to impart information to the
youth of the land
! Much can be done in the schools un,
der proper supervision, but after all
physical training is something that
needs expert guidance. 1t cannot safe
! ~ be left to haphazard methods, but
to secure proper methods is not diff
cult. The setting up exercises used in
the army are wonderfully beneficial
and are not difficult to learn.
Compulsory physical training is but
a step toward the larger goal of com
pulsorv military training. That i:
what this country needs and congress
cannot be too prompt in passing bill
which will establish it. From thu
standpoint of health nothing can equa
military training, and the military les
sons Of discipline will be of immeas
urablc value all through life. Amy sigl
that we are beginning to awaken to Ger
tain simple truths along this line i

Thousands of men in the liquor bust

this will not prevent those who are

said Miss Rhinoceros, looking about

Now none of the other animals in
the different houses of the zoo knew
all of Miss Rhinoceros' experiences, so
they really could not answer her when
she said she had had more interesting
experiences than they had had.
They all looked at her, open-mouth-
ed, but did not say n word.
Finally Mrs. Rhlnoceros, who lived
next door in the zoo. spoke up and
this IS what she said:

not hesitate to turn to our enemy for
an example of what can be done with

writes: "The submarine has held the
