The &y's the Limit.
BY EDMUND VANCE COOKE

Oh, Jacky the salty seas and Sammy at the
front,
It's yours to do the heavy work, you bet you!
You have the heavy job to do you've got to bear
the brunt,
And we've no other choice except to let you;
But if your troubles trouble you, consider now and
then
(And maybe it will help you not to mind 'em),
There always one more billion bones and one
more million men,
And always just many mose behind 'cm.
We don't want to waste billion. or, much less, to
waste man,
But we're with you to the utmost jot and title,
For to help out human freedom we'll do anything
can,
And compared to what you're up against its
little.
So, tell Giovanni, Tommy, Jacques and all the gang
Until they grin like little Jackey Horner:
There are always one more billion bones and one
more million men,
And they're on the way and just around the
corner.
Your Uncle Sans in earnest and his earnest means
a heap.
And he usually finds way to show it.
He's slow to show his wrath, and some folks say
he's been asleep, - -...
But when he wakes he's wide awake you know it!
It's hard for us to realize from picture and from
pen;
The things you see so well. they almost blind
you.
But always one billion bones and ono more
million
Are coming, coming, coming right behind you.

Born and Reared to Be Ugly.

In his Evolution OF Baby Killer our historian
errs somewhat in stating that the Kaiser started
as "an ordinary wilful" child. Wilfu he was, but
he was one of the most extraordinary boys
born. He hated his mother showed it from the
time he could first express his sentiments in words
and, just as soon he able, he made her life
one continued round of insult and abuse. Heavens
be praised! such boys most extraordinary.
Wilhelm hated his mother because she
English and because, when drive ordered by
her, he was so injured that his left hand became
-withered." To be physically "withered' was too
much for the proud head of nation going mad
over physical and material power.
In the vast majority OF instances, cripple be-
tones sour, vengeful, supersensitive, selfish,
Fogant and altogether ugly, the opposite. As to
disposition, there are very few ordinary hallway

Germany internally is aquiver with doubt and

when her military ring has reached a pinnacle
of arrogance based on the offensive in the West.
More reserves are being rushed to France and
Flanders; the battle is to be renewed with even
greater intensity than before; Macedonia and the

German prisoners have been demanded Of Russia,

The DeyA a Saint Was HI"

Are those German autocrats becoming tender
hearted? They say they're sorry they shot up that
Paris church on Good Friday, but ask how the
French could expect German gunner IS miles
away to distinguish between a church and other
buildings. But" they add, "our piety was evil
denced by our not bombarding Paris the day the
victims of that church incident were buried"
Those Germans may become both tender
hearted and pious, as "the vilest sinner may re-
turn" but we guess it will be after trying the
effect of blowing to pieces few funerals. Only
funerals added to the hospitals, ferries, passenger
boats, schools, churches, nurseries and maternity
homes, are needed to complete their list of vile
deeds, and the Germans are thorough, even
in their vilainies.
