THE DEVIL AND THE KAISER
Big sparks flew from old satan's eyes,
What's this i hear?" said he.
They say that when the kaiser dies
He'll be consigned to me.
"Old hell to me is mighty dear,
The place is Diighty fine; 3
But if they send THAT guy down
here,
Believe me, I'll resign.
My boys would all get sore, l fear,
I'm sure they would rebel
The kaiser cannot enter here
For he would corrupt hell
"I'll stand for murderers and crooks,
And I will not disown
That have here upon my books
The worst thugs ever known.
~Oar company IS none too swell;
vile beasts We won't reject
But keep the kaiser out Of bell,
We have SOME self-respect.y ~

also sent out the following letter, in
witch he urges that all Red Cross
organizations disregard any changes
of work which they see mentioned in
any way other than through official
Red Cross channels:
ITO all Chapters: l am surprised
upon my return home to find how
many chapters have been worried
over an article entitled why Not to
Knit" and am more than surprised
Il am amazed-that many of them
have been influenced by that article
to disregard Red Cross instructions.
This is an excellent opportunity
for chapters to have all their work
ers understand that orders come only
from Red Cross headquarters and
that no newspaper or magazine pub
licity or any articles written by in
divfduals, or statements made by in
dividuals, whether in army service or
in government service, or scientific
experts shall in any way change the
action Of a Red Cross chapter Re
member we are soldiers in the great
big army that is holding the second
line of defense here at home, 1000
miles behind the front lines We are
under the same obligation to obey
the orders of our leaders as are the
boys we have sent to France to hold
the first line of defense. Therefore,
follow your Instructions from head
quarters until those instructions are
changed. If any thing arises which
causes you to think there should be
a change, write to headquarters and
find out, but do not stop work, and
do not change your operations.
