THE KAIsER's TALK TO HE'LL.

THE kAlSER'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's voice,
Is Old Man Satan home?
Just tell him it is Kaiser Bill
That wants him on the phone
The Devil said. Hello to Bill,
And Bill said, how are you?
I'm running here hell on earth,
So tell me what to do.
What can 1 do the Devil said,
My dear old Kaiser Bill,
II there's a thing that can do
To help you l sure will.
Yhe Kaiser said. now listen
And 1 will 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 out to kill
That 1t will be a modern Job
You leave to Kaiser Bill.
Ny Army went through Belgium
Shooting women & children down
We tore up all her country
And blowed up all her towns.
My Zepps dropped bombs on cities,
Killing both the old and young,
And them the Zeppelines didn't get
Were taken out and hung.
1 started out for Paris,
With the aid of poisonous gas
The Belgiums. darn them, stopped us
And would not let us pass.
Ny submarines are devils,
Why you should see them fight,
They go sneaking through the sea
And will sink a ship on sight.
1 was running things to suit me
Til a year or so ago,
When man called Woodrow '. ilson
Wrote me to go more slow.
He says to me, dear William,
we don't want 10 make you sore
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 il
You have got to fight us too
did not listen to him,
And he's coming after me.
With a million Yankee soldiers
From their homes across the sea
NOW, that's why l called you. Satan,
For l want advice from you.
l know that you would tell me
Just what 1 had ought TO do.
Ny dear old Kaiser William,
There's not much for me to tell,
For the Yanks will make it hotter
Than I can for you in hell.

 Generally, the highest ambition of a manager, and I am nu exception" MT. Keene continued, lis to satisfy his pat rons. When he Is able to see for him. self that everything possible Is done for guests, that the best possible shows are given for the money. and that his play house is conducted along the best possible lines, then his greatest capability Is reached"
 s'The worth while manager Is interested in his theatre from many other stand points besides financial ones." MT. Keene continued, flor the atmosphere of the playhouse, the quality of audiences and its general reputation count for quite as much as the commercial end of it''
 Paying his respects to MT. Marcus Loew, whose ability and foresight the Loew chain of theatres throughout the United States now furnish entertain ment for hundreds of thousands of peo- ple Mir Keene said:
 MT. Loew Is one of the most re- markable geniuses of the age. He is one of the biggest men I ever knew, and as unpretentious and cordial in his man. ner even to an office boy in his office as he is to the most celebrated star in the theatrical Armament. When joined the Loew forces in New York managed at different times various Loew theatres. It was a liberal education to me, although I had had quite a bit of experiences in other fields. Starting as public stenographer, I drifted quite by accident into the show game through doing some work for MT. Frank Will stach, who for so many years managed for Sothern and Marlowe. had always been attracted to the theatrical business and finally was rewarded by being em- ployed by MT. Wilstach. His brother, Claxton Wilstach. who was also with Sothern and Marlowe, was the greatest Shakespearian press agent of his day, He wrote more advances notices of Soth- ern and Marlowe Shakespearean affairs and got up more newspaper discussions on the Shakespeare Bacon theory than any other 10 men.

  BUSINESS
 AND BULLETS
By W. H. J. TAYLOR President of the Retail Credit Mcn's National AaaOcintiOn


 National Association
 Every true American deplores the fact that the world is at war, put being in it every true American IS Tn it to win. President Wilson has re- peatedly set forth our aims in clear and forceful manner and am sure we are with him to a man. Ihe ablest men in the country are givlns their time as freely as the boys at the front are giving their lives. Edison, Goethals, Davidson, Baruch, Ford are organizing the countrys s resources for war, the armies of sup ply to meet our armies demands. Factories that made bolts are max ing bullets; shoes for the soldier come before shoes for the civilian.
 But we cannot all drop the blow share for the rifle. And it is not we'll that we should. Our big country IS rich in wealth, that is represented by thousands of industries giving employment to thousands of people. Each of these, by producing, earns money to spend and pass on to oth- CTS, so that all these industries may thrive.
 We are eliminating waste, espe- cially in those things of immediate need to the fighters-food, fuel, wool, etc. We are releasing man power and will release more. The American people have indeed re- sponded in every way, as they all ways do when the call comes:
 Business Is behind the bullets. Any strong going business is big gun behind the first-line trenches; every dollar earned bullet for the machie gun of prosperity. And that's the reason Germany cannot win the war. There is too much power in the punch against her.
 America, strong and prosperous, can go on and on, mighty in the knowledge that nothing can stop her march to victory. Our boys know this. They have gone lover there" cheerfully, knowing that all is well at home. Taxes will come and we will meet them; loans will come and we will take them; Red Cross, Young Mems Christian association, war reliefs will be financed without stint, for business will have more than enough to spend on all of them. And you and I and all of us will each do his share, not only by an- swering when we are asked to sub scribe, but by the far more powerful effort of spending as we should. We will be antiwaste and antistint, makers of prosperity by preachment and practice. We will see that the country's business is good business not business as usual-but better and better business.
 We will make it our business to be behind the bullets.

Mr. Lionel H. Keene, the New Manager of the Bjou, Chats About His Experiences Which Have Ranged
 From Shakespear to Films and all Are Interesting

From the Sothern- -Marlowe experience went with the Poli Players in Balti-
 more, this stock company employing me
 as manager" MT. Keene said. and 1
 might add as actor also for one of the
 most advantageous moves I ever made was during my connection with the Poli
 Players when as manager I had to en- ploy actors, volunteered to do some of the roles myself. It attracted widespread attention-a manager-actor of a stock company-and I rather enjoyed the ex- perience, because 1t was an innovation. ' MT. Keene has been with the Stanley company, Philadelphia, with various moving picture houses, and also with the Fox theatres in Brooklyn, and he comes to Birmingham with splendid record to which he has added another big success since his short residence here.
