THE KINGS KICK IN.
By CHARLES B. DRIsCoLL

By CHARLES B. DRISCoLL
written for the United Press.
The kings now plod their weary way
To where the daisies bloom,
For every dog must have his day,
And then his night of doom.
The kings are quite as out-of-date
As julius Caesars pants,
Yet, as he quits the stage of state,
Each monarch loudly rants.
The royal boobs have danced all night
The piper seeks his pay,
Now that the East is growing light
With Promise Of The Day.
Nick Romanoff has paid his bill
And gently stepped aside;
Franz Josef danced right well until
He very kindly died.
The late lamented Constantine
Held tightly to his crown
Until a kick beneath his spine
The royal house brought down.
The canny, queer, unsaved Chinese
Bow down no more to kings,
And eke the doughty Portuguese
Have cut their leading strings.
Bye-Bye King Karl and Kaiser Bill,
The devil take you off,
And may you never rest until
You join Nick Romanoff!

caused. In cases people who had dsgraced them

According to figures compiled by the census bureau
Influenza is deadly than war! That is the verdict
of the bureau Of census after an Investigation of the
ages of the recent epidemic Compilation Of official re-
ports shows that deaths in America properly chargeabe
to the Spanish influenza epidemic are more than equal
to the casualties among the American troops in the world
conflict The total loss of life throughout the country Isl
not known but official ugres for 46 large cities show
$4,000 persons victims of the disease during the per-
od from September to November 8. Basing their cal
cuations unofficial estimate of 100000 casualties
Of all kinds in the American expeditonary forces the
census bureau officials believe that the number of deaths
from all causes will not exceed $4,000 The influenza
toll in the entire country therefore it is pointed out far
exceeds the human sacrifices exacted by enemy guns The
bureau statement shows the greatest mortality due
to the epidemic in proportion to popuaton74 per 1000
occurred in Philadelphia, and the next greatest-67
per 1OO0-was reported in Baltimore. S.

into the woods for what rest they

the next day checking up our units
