Al. 900 more than %, 900 are women. WO-
men make up the increase in Govern

The KAISER'S TALK TO HE'LL.

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 that 1t is Kaiser Bill
That wants him on the phone.
The Devil said. Hello. to Bill.
And Bill said. How are you?
I'm running a he'll here on earth
So tell me what to do.
What can / do? the Devil said,
My dear old Kaiser Bill.
If there's a thing that l can do
To help you l sure will.
The Kaiser said, Now listen
And l win 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 in 10 XIII;
That it will be modern Job.
You leave TO Kaiser Bill.
My army went through Belgium
Shooting women and children down,
We tore up all her country
And blow.d up all her towns.
Ny zeps dropped bombs on cities
Killing both old and young.
And them the Zeppelins didn't get
Were taken out and hung.
/ started out for Paris
With the aid Of poisonous gas;
The Belgians. darn them. stopped US
And would not let US pass
My submarines are devils;
Why, you should see them fight.
They go sneaking through the sea
And will sink ship on sight
was running things TO suit me
Till a year or SO ago,
When man called Woodrow Wilson
Wrote me to go more slow.
He says to me, Dear william,
We boil WdllA ~ hieAiAN gNA sSAN
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, IT'S up TO you;
And if you do not stop it
You have got TO fight u, too.
l did not listen TO him
And he's coming after me
with a million Yankee soldiers
From their home across the sea.
Now, that's why l called you Satan,
For what | want IL advice from you;
know that you will tell me
just what ! ought to do
My dear old Kaiser William.
There's not much for me 10 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.
IN be ready for your coming
And IN keep the fires all bright.
And IN have your room all ready
When the Yanks begin TO fight.
For the boys in blue will get you,
/ have nothing more to tell
Hang up the phone ana get your hat
And meet me here in hell
