THE KAISER TALKS WITH HELL

CFrom the Roeklaa5 Courier Gazette) The Kaiser caliei tHe Devil up
 On the telel hone aHe day Tbe girl at ceutsaf listened n
 To all they had Hello" !" she heard the Kaiser say,
 'IS 9ld Man $ a4a aa#e Just tel him it Kaiser Bill
 Iaat wants hln on the phone. . The Devil said aHelloH 10 Bill.
 And Bill said. How are you tm running a hell up here on earth,
 So tell me what to do What can I do. the Devil said,
 My dear old Kaiser Bill? If there's thing that 1 can do
 To help you, sure l will. - The Kaiser said. Now listen.
 And l will try to tell The way that l am running
 On earth modern hell: i've saved for this for many years,
 And I've started out to kill; That t will be modern job
 You leave to Kaiser Bill My army went through Belgium,
 Shooting women and children down We tore up all the country
 And blew up every town My Zepps dropped bombs on cities.
 Killing both old and young, And those the Zeppehns didn't get
 We're taken out and hung. T started out for Paris,
 With the aid of poison gas; The Beleians, darn 'em, stopped us
 short
 And wouldn't let us pass. My submarines are devils.
 You should see them in fight. They go sHeaking through the seas
 And wlll sink a ship at sight. T was running things to suit me
 IiIl q year or so ago, Nhea man named Woodrow Wilson
 v N.AA AitS W RA VI NO %~O ll4hlE >AQNs Said He to me. Dear William
 We cont want to make you sore. So be sure to tell your U-boats
 To sink our ships no more = Ne have told you for the last time. So Bill its up to you, And If you do not stop 1t
 You've got to fight Us too 4I itluot listen to him.
 And he's coming after me. N lth a#mlllion Yankee soldiers
 From then homes across the sea. @TBa-s' why called you, Satan.
 Fer want advice from you. l knew that you would tell me lust =NhatII ought to do. My dear old Kaiser William,
 There's not much for me to tell, For the Tanks will make 1t hotter
 Than can for you in hell II Ne been mean old devil.
 But not half as mean as you, And the minute that you get here give my job to you. I'll be ready for your coming. And I'll keep the fires bright, And HI have your room all ready When the Tanks begin to fight For the khaki boys will get you. I've nothing more to tell Hang up your phone and get your
 hat.
 And meet me here in hell.

One of the Volunteers Who Is on Way to Fight Tells About His Country.
 Over There.
LOVES UNITED STATES
If He and Companions Come Through War Will Return to Become
 U. s. Citizens.

Forced on by love of their native land, love of the freedom for which the United States is now fighting, nine members of the Serbian race are now in Juneau on their way to Canada where they will join a large number of their countrymen already there in training for the fighting front.
 These men gathered from Anchor age, Seward, Valdez and Ellamar. They arrived from the Westward on the Alameda and will leave for the South on the Prince Rupert Monday night. They are all big, husky speci- mems of humanity and will surely give an account of themselves when they reach the front line trenches.
 We love the United States. We are not citizens, but if we come through this war lucky and return, nothing can prevent us becoming citizens of this country. We are Serbians and are proud of it, but, although we love Serbia with an iONc, Nc lONt tHt DIlnClpicS and form of Government of the Unit cd States more," said Masan Keco- jevich yesterday.
 T have applied three different times for my first papers, but as I am a miner and prospector roaming from place to place, l have never been able to stay long enough in one place to get my second papers. We are all in the same fix.
 We would like 10 fight with the United States Army. but on account of difficulties of speech we thought it better to join the Serbian forces Serbia has been fighting Austria and the Turks for 500 years Serbia before the war was as free as the United States and as democratic We had King who had less to do and less power than the King of Eng land has now The Serbians were a strictly democratic race and for that reason were hated by both Aus. trian and Turk
 This war is bringing the world to a realization of the fine points of the Serbian race and when it is fin. ished and we return to America fl

Band, the Juneau Home Guards, the drafted men were conducted through the streets of the city and to the Palace Theatre. The men of the Ma tional Army were in turn followed by the school children of the public and high schools, members of the Serbian contingent now in the city, the members of the Council of De fense and private citizens in autos,
 At the Palace Theatre, those leav- ing were accorded the seats of hon or in the front of the balcony, the remainder of the house being filled with school children, and the general public. A selection was played by the Palace Orchestra, followed by a solo by John T. Spickett.
 John Rustgard then addressed the draft men and conveyed to them in no uncertain terms the feeling in which they are being held in the hearts of the people of Juneau and Gastineau Channel Clifford Gun ming, member of the Home Guards and also one of the drafted men, sang Send Me Away With a Smile" which brought down the house. Gift ed with a beautiful voice, the senti- ment conveyed in the words of the song struck straight to the hearts of the people and at the end the entire audience was on it's feet cheer ing and calling for more. Mir. Gun ming and William Fry then sang "The Stars and Stripes Shall Wave Over Germany" assisted by those present.
 The members of the Home Guard in the balcony gave three cheers and tiger for Cunning and after the audience sang America, three cheers and tiger were given for those who left on the Peterson.
 The drafted men were the guests of the Council of Defense at din ner party. At 6:30 they answered roll call on the Pacific Coast dock and at o'clock went aboard the boat Within a few minutes, the Peterson pulled out ana the tlotllla of boats which had been waiting formed in line to accompany her down the Channel The Band on the ferry Army followed the Peterson to a point we'll below Thane while the whistles continued to blow until the Peterson was well away on her jour ney.

BAND DONATED ITS SERVICES
 YESTERDAY
Makes Good Impression in Leading Ovation Giv- en to the Draft
 RegistrantS.

The recently organized Gastineau Channel Band formed an important part of the patriotic exercises yes tcrday, and the twenty members who attended in uniform donated theii services. All of their employers made special efforts so the band men could be on hand in time. The music of the band on the wa ter from the launch Amy, which was furnished through the kindness of P F. Bradley, was an import ant feature. The Amy accompan- jed the Peterson down the channel the band playing patriotic airs and lively marches.
 One of the band men yesterday moling was in Sumdum, and upon recalling that the band was to play that afternoon, "got move on'' and was Johnny the-spot.
