Hello! Central? Give me Heaven!"
Thus spoke old Kaiser Bill.
In his heart fear to shame a craven;
And his voice loud and shrill.
"Hello Who is thisp Eh-who-whatP
Oh. Saint Peter, you say!
Well, right quick put me through to Gott
Hows that? Busy today?
"Hello You don't quite understand;
I'm the Kaiser you know!
What? You don't care? WHY command!
Give me Colt! Don't be slow!
You won't? How dare-well. then give me
His recording angel-you Ounce;
He knows me we'll; will sarely see
talk with Colt at once!
Busy? What seems to be the reason
Of this sudden rush? What?
War on earth? Hal I'm sure in season!
OF war I'd talk with Colt.
You'll take chance? That's mighty fine!
Ill thank you In person
What? You don't want-you will decline
To open the-my curse on
Hello! Colt? How's everything? Bad?
What is it that's gone wrong9
The dead? Oh do not feel 80 sad
When it helps my cause along.
Me? Oh. am fine; and my sons
All in the best of health;
Soon DER the earth will spread my Huns;
Mine will be all it's wealth.
Business? Oh. yes! Well. Colt you see
The Yanks have left their land
Without cause have made war on me-
And with my enemies stand.
What? No sir! Nothing did do!
Twas them; sailing on my sea!
I warned them-I leave it to you
Should blame be put on me?
Now Colt, have come before your throne
IT'S my first visit here
To ask what means t-Liberty Loan
They greet with hearty cheer?
Il can rule the earth. my demesne.
Without any help from you
If you'll explain what Liberty means
And about this Loan-too.
"How's that? Liberty gift from Thee?
All that makes life worth while?
But Colt 1.-The Yanks will stay free?
Or die with happy smile2
What's that? This Loan is what cements
Them into mighty force?
WHY thought it dollars and cents
Stopped by schemes vile and coarse.
But Colt, think! Six billion or moro
And that is not the last!
For I'll ne'er qui, til life is ger
Then my sonsll hold them fast
What's that you say? Six hundred bill
But they give 80 much?
To their very soul? Not break their will?
But Colt, if you will touch
You'll not? Why, me and you thought
Long enough I've had my way2
But how explain the things I've taught
And still my people sway?
Too late? Why have wealth untold!
More can gain by plunder
Liberty Loans more than precious gold?
Rend my power asunder?
You dwell in their hearts? Give them faith?
Arm them with Cody right?
Give them strength to face cruel death
If needs to break my might?

rapid rate than any of its sister grains.
