WHEN THE KAISER CALLED THE
 DEVIL UP
By w. E, Curry

By w. E. Curry 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 Kaisers voice Is Old Man Satan home? Just tell him this 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 I do?" the Devil said My dear old Kaiser Bill? If there's a thing that I can do, To help you, I sure will' The Kaiser said, Now listen, And I 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 it will be a modern job, You leave to Kaiser Bill. My army went through Belgium shooting women and children down, We tore up all her country, And blew up all her towns. My Zeps dropped bombs on cities, Killing both the old and young, And those the Zeppelins didn't get We've taken out and hung. I started out for Paris With the aid of poisonous gas, The Belgians, darn 'em stopped us, And would not let us pass. My submarines are devils, Why you should see them fight. They go sneaking through the sea And sink ship at sight. I was running things to suit me, Till a year or so ago,
 When a man called Woodrow Nilsod Wrote me to go more slow.
 He said to me Dear William, We don't want to make you sore, So be sure to tell your U-boatS 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 it
 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 I called you, Satan For I want advice from you.
 I knew that you would tell me Just what I ought to do.
 My Dear Kaiser William,
 There's not much for me to tell
 For the Yank will make it hotter
 Than I can for YOU in hell.
 I've been a mean old Devil,
 But not half as mean as you,
 And the minute that you get here I will give my job to vnu. I'll be ready for your coming And I'll keep the fires bright
 And I'll have your room all ready When the Tanks begin to fight. For the boys in khaki will get you, I have nothing more to tell; Hang up the phone and get your hat And meet me here in Hell. --Alhambra Advocate.

 It has been found that it is not nee essary to go to the front line trenches to die, he said, and in all proba bility when the total number of deaths from the scourge which has affected the en- tire country is known it. will exceed that of the casualty lists.
