GERMANY TO THE TUNE

reached the center of the town the
/ people fiocked to the windows. but
there We're nothing but cold, resigned
and still arrogant faces to mark the
line of march. All the flags that had
made the city gay during the past
few days have been removed. The
people seemed prosperous. One could
obtain an excellent luncheon if one
cared to pay the price demanded.
Certainly there appeared to be no
great shortage of food except bread
The people wore good clothes and
strong boots.
Six British airmen arrived at T,ux-
emburg from Germany. They tell a
tale of brutality and neglect which
is astounding. They say their officers
are still retained under guard in Ger
many. They escaped by bribing a
guard.
A frosty morning found the men
moving over the bridges of the Mo-
selle, passing beyond the eagle signs
which mark the boundaries between
Germany and Luxembourg The cav

artillery and baggage train, brought

FINEST FALL WEATHER
FOR YEARS AND YEARS

This has been a great fall. Not
since 1902 has winter weather been
so tardy in making an appearance. In
that year winter weather was with us
on Nov. 23rd and this year we did
not have taste of cold until the 28th.
Snow which fell during that day is
likely to be with us until spring. On
the 18th any old kind of vehicle found
fairly good going. The sleighing was
good because the snow and rain made
an excellent bottom, the roads were
hard and comparatively smooth for
wheeling and autos found a good
track though the chains were neces-
sary for the icy Richland
County Democrat.

THE KAISER PHONES TO HELL

The kaiser called the devil up
On the telephone one day,
And the girl at central listened
To what they had to say.
Hello" she hears the kaiser's voice
rs 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 a hell on earth
So tell me what to do"
What can do" the devil said,
MY dear old kaiser Bill;
If there's a thing that | can do
TO help you, sure | will
The kaiser said now listen,
And | will try to tell
The way that | 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 leacve to kaiser Bill.
MY army went through Belgium,
Shot women and children down;
We tore up all her country
And blew up every town.
My Zepps dropped bombs on cities,
Killing both the old and young,
And those the Zeppelins didn't get
We're taken out and hung.
Il started out for Paris
With the aid of poisonous gas
The Belgians, darn EN-, 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 a ship at sight
Il was running things to suit me
Till a year or so ago
When man named Woodrow Wilson
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've told you for the last time.
So dear Bill it's up to you
And if you do not stop it
You've got to fight us too
Il did not listen to him
And he's coming after me
With million Yankee soldiers
From their homes across the sea.
Now that's why / called you, Satan
For want advice from you;
l knew that you would tell me
Just what I ought to do"
MY dear old kaiser William
There's not much for me to tell,
For the Yanks will make it hotter
Than | can for you in hell.
1--WE been mean old devil
But not half so mean as you,
And the minute tn, t you get here
| will give my job to you.
iii be ready for your coming
And I'll keep the fires all bright.
And I'll have your room all ready
When the Yanks begin to fight.
For the boys in kahkill get you;

Hang up the phone and get your hat
And meet me here in hell"

ELEVEN is
WAR NUMBER
Peace at Eleventh Hour of Eleventh
Day-Look up Elevens In
Your Family
| Bible.

No doubt every one has commented
on the fact that the world war ended
at the 18th hour Of the 18th day OF the
18th month.
Now comes another combination OF
three elevens equally as startling ana
which can be applied y. r1- close OF
the war just as easily as the comb1na-
ton of the hour, day and month.
The eleventh verse of the eleventh
chapter Of the eleventh book deals
with a fall of kingdom through the
idolatry and sins of it's rusa1. THIS
particular verse is found in First bool,
of Kings, eleventh chapter and elev.
enth verse and Of course this being tn.
the eleventh book. The verse rs.
Wherefore the Lord said unto Sol
onion: Forasmuch as this is done OF
thee and thou hast not kept my COW
enant and my statutes, which I have
commanded thee, will surely rend
the kingdom from thee, and will give
lit to thy servant"
While the above verse can have no
other connection with the ending OF
the war than that of mere coincidence
so far as figures are concerned, it is
at least interesting, especially when
connected with the hour and date OF
the end of hostilities, which are nu.
merically the same.

He found her lifeless body hanging
from the roof of the front porch. He
Immediately cut her down and ran
for assistance. Efforts were made to
save the unfortunate woman, but she
was beyond all aid.
She is survived by her husband.
