Spring in Germany

In Germany the wren and spar
row are singing springtime ditties
now; but no man plies the drill
or harrow, and none gets busy
with the plow. The kaiser's need
ing all the horses, which should
be blowing up the loan, to gather
in his crop of corpses-a CHASTITY
sort of Harvest Home. By stall
wart men no fields are seeded,
though spuds and prunes are
needed much, for all the men and
spades are needed for digging
trenches, graves and such. The
rains don't cheer the German
farmer, he has no eye for sun or
clouds, for con with Gott" he goes
in armor, to boost the price of
biers and shrouds. The starving
German cows go reeling down to
the brook to drink their fill; the
rawboned hogs are always squeal-
ing, and sip a substitute for swill.
There is no grub that's worth the
eating, there is no kraut or wurst
in kegs; the hungry calves and
lambs are bleating, the hens lay
substitutes for eggs. Since Ger
mans took up warlike 1abors
they've found and they are
somewhat bored-they can't make
wienerwurst with sabers, or carve
good pretzels with sword. Oh,
spring in Germany's forbidding, a
time of stress and want and
groans; so, Kaiser Wilhelm, quit
your kidding, and harvest hay in
stead of bones.

MERCHANTS TO CONSIDER
LATER OPENING PLAN

The recommendation of John A. Beel-
er, traffic expert. that department
stores and high schools open later in
the morning to relieve congestion on
the street cars will be considered by
the Merchants and Manufacturer AS
sociation at a meeting in The Star
building tonight.
In view of the fact that the mer-
chants are now conducting cam
paign to encourage housewives to shoI
early in the morning. it is believed
some opposition will be voiced against
the proposal to have the stores open a.
10 o'clock.
The purpose of the shop-early cam
paign is to leave the saleswomen free
to serve the hundreds of government
employees who flock to the stores aftel
Office hours. A committee representing
the merchants association will confer
with Mr. Beeler in reference to the
opening hour, and a report OF the con-
ference will be made at the meeting
tonight It is possible that Mr. Beelel
will attend the night meeting.
