BERLIN LITTLE CHANGED

The appearance Of Berlin is little
changed, according to Joseph Her
ring, the first correspondent for an
American newspaper to arrive in
the German capital, in a special dis
patch to the Courier-Journal and
the New York Times. 0utwardly
the tremendous earthquake which
has changed the whole political or
der caused little change in the city,
The revolution is an accomplished
fact and the revolution was sober in
every sense. The Socialists, ac-
cording to Herring, no longer face
serious disaffection in their own
ranks, and everything is being done
for the returning soldiers who are
making their appearance in German
towns.

that with Creel directing the public

SHOULD BE KING

Former Admiral Won Tirpitz, who
has fed from Germany to Switzer-
land, took every precaution to avoid
the wrath of the people before he
hurried over the border. He was
seen in Berlin one day several weeks
ago looking pale and haggard. He
had cropped his whiskers and was
hardly recognizable. The German
people, after reflection, are insistent
that he be brought for trial before
a court martial. Public opinion IA
vors his execution.

THE ARMY FIRST

Now 1 sit me down to eat
Some kind of substitute for meat;
If 1 should die before l wake
You'll know it was due to stom-
ach ache
But will gamely take a chance y
To help our soldier boys in
France;
My motto is: "The Army First"
So bring it on and do your worstl
To help our gallant fighting force y
l gladly eat a slice of horse,
If I should die digesting it,
You'll know that I have done my
'bit."
If Fate DEGREES that I should feed
Upon some erstwhile prancing
steed,
And with my stomach it won't agree,
You'll know it was a joke on me.
l do not relish as a rule
A fricassee of dog or mule;
But it's very frst-hand cinch
That l can eat it in a pinch.
For Billy Goat en- casserole
1 have no craving on the whole;
And while on it l may not dote
1 would not let it get my goatI
My pampered stomach may rebel,
And make the claim that "war is
hell"
But my digestive organs must
Stand up and do their bit, or bust. !
