On the telephone one day,
The girl at Central listened to
All they had to say,
Hello" she heard the kaiser's voice
us old mar 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?
II there's 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.
I've started out to XIII,
That it will be modern JOB
You leave 20 Kaiser Bill.
My army went through Belgium.
Shooting women and children down.
We tore up all her country,
And blew up al! her towns.
"My Zepps dropped bombs on cities.
Killing both old and young.
And those the Zeppelins didn't get,
Were taken out and hung.
81 started out for Paris,
With the aid Of poisonous gas.
The Be'giums 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 ship at sight.
II was running things TO suit me,
Till year or so ago,
When man called 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.
1--WE have told you for the last time,
So Bill, it's up to you,
And If you do not stop it,
You have got to fight us, too.
II did not listen to him.
And he's coming after me.
With a million Yankee soldiers
From their home across the sea.
Now. that's why | called you, Satan
For ! want advice from you,
| knew that you would tell ne
Just what ought to d..
"My dear old Kaiser William,
There's not much for me to tell,
FOR the Yanks will make il hotter
Than | can for you in hell.

But not half as mean as you,
And the minute get you here,
| will give my job to you.
"lll be ready for your coming.
And III keep the fires all bright,
And I'll have your room all ready
When the Yanks begin TO fight.
"For the boys in blue will get you,

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

SOME DON'TS

There is still a Conservation Col
yum
Peace may come and war may go,
but conservation goes on forever.
Naturally We shall hencetorth try
to avoid such slogans as ''Conserva-
ton viii win the war, and Save
sugar to can the kaiser, since rumor
hath it strong that the war is won
and the kaiser is neatly canned But
Conservation itself, the necessity for
il, the patriotism of it. the accom-
plisbments of it must continue if the
war is to be followed by the accom-
piishmont Of the stupeudous task that
now cOnfronts Reconstruction
and Rebuilding.
1t is natural that the soldiers left
in America today should have rather
an all gone" feeling. "The war is
Won by gum, and ! wasn't there!
The Huns are licked. and | didn't
help lick emf All dressed and no
place TO eoi Aw, what's the use!"
As for Conservation whether Of
clothes, equipment, food, money or
energy we venture to express the
opinion that nothing is farther from
most soldierly minds at this moment.
Therefore, to all those who believe.
thal right now Conservation is as out
OF date as barb wire entanglemepts

Several months later a group OF

fire that blazed UP along the right-of-

one Of the prominent railroads of
France It was chill-and the driz-

A tall. gSod-looking Yank shiveringly

contributed a light. The Yank CRATE

Glad for the hardships, the bully

glad for the cold the rain and the

By Review Leased wirel

LONDON. May 1.-The Daily Mails correspondent at Italian headquarters says that Bohemian troops are joining the Italian troops against Austria and thatt he first detachments are already on the Italian fighting line wearing Italian uniforms.
 The attachments belonged to Czech SlOvak army which is being formed in many centers from former subjects of Emperor Charles. They already occupy positions at various points.
 It is known, adds the cOrrespOn- dent of the Daily Mail. that their ar rival already has caused perturbation among the Austro-Hungarion com manders who fear the effect on their Slav troops. Now that the enemy Slov troops know their fellow Slavs are fighting under the Italian banner in complete accord with the Italians and with a definite program of win ming absolute independence for their common country, their whole attitude toward the war. he adds, may under go an important change.
 The new position of the affairs is be- ing explained adequately to them by airplane propaganda and committees of theft own race are accredited to and cooperating with the Italian com mand.
