KAISER ANSWERS
DEVILS LETTER

The following is received from a
Cooperstown reader so we publish il
for what it is worth: ~~~~.-.-
Berlin, Germany, April %, 1918.
My Dear Devil: Received your
congratulations few days ago but as
| am spending few days at the front
urging my men along and showing
them how to operate those large guns,
could not take time to thank you.
When l see the Sammies coming to
France so fast and also hear of the
way the pro-Germans in the United
States are treated, am almost trou-
bled with the nervous breakdown. 1
wish you would be kind enough to ex-
cuse one of your best physicians from
coal shoveling and send him to me in
case should get run down.
Another request that I must make
now while remember is to urge that
1 you conserve as much coal as possible.
We need the coal in Germany. One
of my pro-German workers in the
United States told of a good plan
used there this winter when coal was
scarce. They sent out slips to be
tied to the coal-buckets and shovels.
on these slips was printed "Save this
shovel of coal for Uncle Sam... You
might print on your slips "Save this
shovel of coal for Kaiser Wilhelm"
Now, dear, l must also tell you
about my trustworthy workers Hin
denburg and Ludendorff.
Hindenburg is troubled with a slight
disorder of the stomach caused by
over exertion the time he had to run
three miles in front of an American
bullet. Ludendorff, poor Ludendorff,
was commanding his forces one cold,
frosty morning, when he accidentally
bit two-tl1irds of his tongue off. How
ever we have placed an artificial
;:@1i..Se;ue in its place and when he gets
used to it shall go back to the front
again.
l suppose you have been busy too,
as the other day when l looked over
the battle front, I found that many of
my men had departed to their new &C.
cupations in Hades. Please be easy
with them as they worked hard while
with me.
Hoping that our drive will be more
successful these next two weeks, am
as ever,
Your truthful worker,
Kaiser Wilhelm.

TYLER HOLLAND
IS HEARD FROM

The following account, taken from
the Great Lakes Bulletin, and sent US
by Tyler Holland, describes a days
target practice by the Armed School
of the Great Lakes Naval Training
station. Mr.. Holland is member of
the April class. and despite his ~
days absence during the illness of
his father, John Holland, he has been
appointed captain of one Of the 10
crews which comprise the school.
Men of the April class of the Arm
ed Guard School yesterday smashed
to smithereens two targets represent
ing German submarines. The target
practice was held at the site of the old
gun shed, south of the boat house.
Nineteen crews participated in the
firing using a three inch, fifty calibre
gun. Each crew fired four shots.
The targets, which were about one
third the size Of submarine, were
lowed at the rate of five knots an
hour and were fired upon at range
varying from 1900 to 2,l5O yards.
The part of the target representing
the coming tower was four feet high
and foot and four inches wide. The
section representing the base was ten
feet long and ten inches wide.
Cut Down Mast
Bluejackets taking part in the
morning practice were forced to work
in the rain, but this did not inter-
fere with the accuracy of their fire.
Five shots through the coming tow
er and three through the base soon
put the "sub" out of commission. The
men then, as a farewell shot, cut
down the target mast.
A new target was placed in COM
mission for the afternoon firing. This
target was wrecked with dine direct
hits.
Lieutenant q. g. John Roman was
was greatly pleased with the showing
made by the men. He pronounced
their work as being excellent in view
of the fact. that this was the first
time they had engaged in actual fir
ing at targets with a. three inch fifty
calibre gun.
This class will not engage in any
more target practice as they will be
graduated from the Armed Guard
School the first of the month. From
now on they will be given boat drill
and further instruction in loading.
Familiar With Guns
These men al! have gone through
course of instruction with three
Founders and four, five and six inch
drill guns. They also have been thor
oughly instructed in the use of small
arms and machine guns at the Main
station rifle range
This will be the last target practice
to be held at the site of he old gun
shed. The May class Of he Armed
Guard School will be given it's finish
ing touches at the new land battleship,
which is being erected on the lake
front in Camp Paul Jones.
