One wound-yet she's glad

Granted her first-born son
Proudly to life

Life justified,
Sre grants a son to Death

Should have to clean a suller.

You re not murphy huller;

Before you leave the sullcr.
There s beet and turnip dirt enough
TO fill a bushel basket;
And everywhere barrel stood
You find dusty gasket;
The brine drops on the corn-beef tub

The extent to which airplanes are be-
ing employed on the battle fronts in
Europe is indicated by the report in a
London cable that great damage was
done during the week ended Wednesday
to German communications, supply de-
pots, airdromcs and munition dumps bv
the airmcn Of the allies, who during the
week accounted for l79German airplanps.
From this the inference is natural that
with more planes still more military
damage could be done and still more an
noyancc caused to the enemy If it were
possible to equip the allies with 100000
or 100000 powerful planes of large sail
ing radius, which could carry death and
destruction not only Immediately behind
the lines but far into Germany, a deci-
sion might be speedily obtained A few
high-cXplosiye bombs dropped on the
royal palaces in Berlin and Vienna would
have a very healthy effect.

Macmillan Harden Says the Kaiser
Should Have Run Cabaret.

"The kaiser missed his vocation;
he should have managed a cabaret
declared Maximilan Harden, in an in
terview with the Berlin correspond
ent of the London Express.
1.-THE kaiser had no personal part
in the war. He was discredited ana
became a tool of the junkers. They
thought him a coward and feared he
would fail to sign the declaration of
war, so they sent him to Norway.
Foreigners saw the kaiser's facade,
but never saw his interior.
"The armistice terms are hard. If
they form they form the basis of the
peace terms, Germany will be ruined.
BY losing possession of Alsace-Lor-
raine and Silesia, she cannot become
an industrial country. Millions OF
Germans are sincere. The entente
should treat them as men, not as mil
itarists."
