"KILLING GERMANS"

~ GORGE HARVEY, writing in
- the North American Review for
~ February, says that the chief
business of America has come to be
the killing of Germans"
That is not a nice sentence, but it
is so distinctly the truth that 1t
ought to be read and considered by
every American.
killing Germans" must be Amer
icas chief occupation henceforth
until Germany is brought to her
knees. The more Germans we Kill
the fewer will be left to kill us. 1t is
plainly a case of kill or be killed.
Either Germans or Americans must
die. and as between the two we must
see to it that death comes to the
Germans. We must kill Germans in
France or they will. kill us-and
our wives and children here in our
own country.
killing Germans" is to be our
chief occupation, because the more
we kill the more quickly peace will
be restored. That is the reason why
Americans are so desirous of quick
and effective cooperation with our
allies. That is the reason why we
are so indignant over errors and
delays and so insistent upon speed
and efficiency.
All our war preparations are be-
ing made with one end in view-the
killing of Germans.

THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET

(With apologies wherever neededo
(From New York Times)
How dear to my heart are the scenes
of my childhood
When winter is here and the coal
bin is low!
In dreams | go back to the deep
tangled wildwood
That gave us the backlog we
burned long ago.
The jolly old backlog, the mug of
hot cider
OF comforts like these did our
grandfather tell,
When grandmother sat with her
candle beside her
In that little old cabin that stood
near the we'll
That little red cabin.
That wood heated cabin,
That old-fashioned cabin that
Stood near the well.
When summer is hot on the wheat
and the poppies,
And bumblebees buzz in the gay
fowered balm,
How far from our mind then the
plumbers big shop is!
Our modern conveniences work
like a charm,
But, oh, when the mercury drops
like a rocket
And water pipes burst, then I'm
longing to sell
And go back to the house with its
moss covered bucket,
It's waterproof bucket that hung
in the we'll
That moss-covered bucket,
That ice-spangled bucket,
That bucket that never froze
Down in the we'll
/ Then turn, o my heart, to the scene!
of my childhood,
The coal is quite gone and the
fire is dead;
| Both meatless and wheatless, W.
long for the wildwood
That yielded our measure of ba
con and bread;
! No meters to pay, and no plumber
| bill soaring,
No sneezing, no freezing, no funer
al knell,
But a jolly old backlog a-sizzlini
and roaring
And a never-leak bucket to nani
in the we'll
The old oaken bucket,
The iron bound bucket:
Hurrah for the bucket tha
Hangs in the we'll!

THE RUSSIAN SITUATION

THE new turn in the Russian sit
uation is most puzzling. Prob
ably it will not be cleared up
until the end of the war. With the.
Bolsheviki announcing hostilities at
an end, Germany insists upon a
peace treaty. although treaties in
Germany have been regarded as only
so many scraps of paper" Just
why Trotzky will not sign is problem
atical. Maybe. he doesn't want to
add another scrap of paper" to the
Prussian wastebasket Maybe he is
playing better game than appears
on the surface. Who knows? Ger
tainly from the allied standpoint the
new turn of affairs has a more en-
couraging appearance. But too much
reliance cannot be placed in the sta
bility of Russian conditions. They
are apt to change over night.

Man Who Reads My Paper

I'm not a selfish man, l think,
Nor do | feel that printers ink
And journalistic brilliancy.

Yet somehow, when l sit and scan

Beside me in the subway who
So calmly sits and scans it, too.

He reads the next one just the same.

And quite forget to read the news.
