Harry Fuller, son of Mrs. Frank

mother here on Mothers day. AL
though the letter was brief it was
very welcome to Mrs. Fuller. 1t is
as follows:
Somewhere in France, May IL, 1918.
Dearest Mother: Today is Mo-
Tiers day. Gen. Pershing request
ed every soldier to write a letter to
mother today. The Y,s have re-
minders posted, also the Y secretar-
les that made the rounds of the
trenches were going to see that the
boys there were supplied with paper
today. All the fellows here in our
bunch have written. / thought
would get busy today and write you
real long letter and also several
more letters, but was not in much
of mood for writing this afternoon
SO did not get it done. i wrote q
few lines to Mrs. Sprague at Green
vile to find out where Frank was.
The Y got some new paper, a COM
bination kind so will try to write a
little letter all for yourself. But
though small it carries lots of love
and best wishes and hopes that next
year at this time we will all be home
again. but that no one knows. You
know about as much and perhaps
more, of how things are going, than
/ can tell, if l could. We have not
been on the move lately. l think
we are settled for while now; are
working on trucks at present. For
some reason we have not had any
mail for some time but / suppose it
will get caught up to us soon. I'm
still feeling dandy and hope all at
home are the same. Lovingly,

Satan and the Kaiser.

The kaiser called the devil up =
On the phone one day;
The girl at central listened in"-
Heard all they had to say.
"Hollo," she heard the kaiser say,
"Is Old Man Satan home?
Just tell him it is Kaiser Bill
Who wants him on the phone"
The devil said hello" to Bill,
And Bill said, "How are you?
Pm running a swell hell on earth,
So tell me what to do
'What can / do?" the devil said.
my dear old Kaiser Bill.
If there's thing that can do
To- help you, ! sure will"
The kaiser said. "Now listen
And / will try to tell y
The way that / am running
My fine new modern hell.
give saved for this for many years
And I've started out to kill
That it will be a model job,
Just leave to Kaiser Bill.
"My army went through Belgium,
Shot women, and children down;
We tore up all the country
And blew up every town.
"My Zepps dropped bombs on cities
And killed both old and young,
And those the Zeppelins didn't get
Were taken out and hung.
II started out for Paris
With the aid of poisonous gas;
The Belgians, darn them, stopped us,
And would not let us pass.
INV submarines are devils,
Oh, you should see them fight!
They sneak up on hospital ships
And sink them all at sight.
Things were running quite to suit me
Till a year or so ago,
When a man named Woodrow Wilson
Wrote me to go more slow.
"He says 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 have told you for the last time,
So, Bill, it's up to you.
And If you do not stop it
You'll have to fight us, too
81 didn't 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.
/ want advice from you;
You surely know the business
Just what ought to do?"
MY dear old Kaiser William,
There's not much / can tell;
The Yanks will make it hotter for
you
Than I can here in hell,
'I've been a mean old devil
But not half as bad as you;
And the minute that you get here,
I'll resign my job to you.
"I1l 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 drab will get you;
have nothing more to tell.
Hang up the phone and get your hat
And meet me here in hell"
