the party started in the best way that
party could, with every one elssllhS anu
chucking merrily.
All of Birdland seemed to be there
with a whole lot of invited guests from
distant woods and fields. They had pre-
pared a throne for Peggy: ,d ana mere an,e

Then there came from concealed or.
chestra the queerest music Peggy had
ever heard 1t wasn't exactly vocal, 'nor
was it instrumental, but kind of mix

"Cro-ak Cro-ak Cro-ak!' was the

I looked at Prince with increased re-

dogs like Prince and turn them loose on
the Germans?"
II have thought of tina, same idea

and why not set beasts to fighting them?
But even a dog Is lowering himself TO
fight with those boches.

WHY THE SENATOR'S ssHOL
IER -

Official records at Washington
show that during the months OF
July and August last Senators
Mcclellan, Hitchcock and Weeks
were actively introducing wor-
thy constituents to the Council
of National Defense and the War
Department.
Mr.. MeKellar's friend wanted
the contract for building the avia-
ton camp at Memphis. Mr.. Hitch
cock 5 patriot had a fine device
specially designed for use in
trenches and warranted to keep
food warm for ten hours Mr..
Week 5 aspirant wished to intro
duee a patented Yankee notion to
standardize and expedite shoe
fitting in the army.
Possibly we are considering
here only a strange and complex
series of condolences such as nov
elists indulge in, but it appears
that, when all these elaborate pre-
sensations resulted in no con-
tracts, the three senator's natural
rs got the idea that the war was
not going as sit should. The
United States has fallen down.
There was ineffieiency in every
department and bureau. The
American military establishment
did NOT exist
How is war to be carried to a
glorious conclusion IN Europe, we
should ike to know, ii a Ten
nessee firm loses a contract in its
own statea If Nebraskan can
not introduce a patent meal-eon-
tainer in the American camps,
what is the use of fightings III
the Massachusetts man with the
shoe-fitter is to be turned adrift
at the capital, were not Lexington
and Bunker Hill all IN vain
Taking their view of the mat
ter, we are almost persuaded toI
agree with Senators Mcclellan,
Hitchcock and Weeks that the
of the United States
has stopped functioning New
York World
