THE VAIL OF A PUP.

Man thinks he plays lot of parts
Before his years are rounded up,
But say He really never starts.
He ought to try to be pup.
20 be pup. and have a boy
With fresh ideas every day
Who takes wild and hendish JOY
lnventing parts for him to play.
I've been Boche in Bellau Wood
And had Yank bullets shot at me;
I've been Turk and have stood
The gunhre at Gallipoli.
I've been the Kaiser often times
And had a moose about my neck.
The while | listened to my crimes
And rapidly became a wreck.
I've been hook and ladder horse
And had them run me of my feet;
I've been a thief, while half the force
Pursued me madly down the street.
I've figured at a barbecue
The part assigned me was the OK
But just as dinner time was due
| always wriggled from the box.
I've been lion and bear,
A tiger and Hottentot
And other creatures strange and rare,
But always something that got shot
I've been old Jonah, and the whale
A cracker crate-has thrown me UP
I've been marooned, I've been in Jail
And still it s fun to be a pup

London, February IS - "Atrocity
trials" of Germans known to have
committed crimes against humanity
on the high seas will soon begin, and
according to Rear Admiral Sir Regin-
aid Hall, the German defendants will
be hanged If found guilty.
A method Of procedure against the
German offenders has already been
drafted, according to Sir Reginald.
They will be divided into two classes.
1) Those in authority who ordered
deeds of infamy; (2) Those who car
ried them out.
"If any German we now have in
custody proves he obeyed orders in
committing any sea crime, then we
will proceed against the higher Ger
man authorities" said Sir Reginald
"Our arm is long enough to reach the
'higher-ups'. In the case of the hos
pital ship Llandovery Castle, the man
who sunk her will be brought to
trial. He will be defended by counsel
in open court and if convicted he shall
die"

An investigation disclosed that the
little boys were not purchasing the
cigarettes themselves but were get
ting older boys to do their buying for
them while. they paid for the smokes
and then divided the contents of the
package with the purchaser.
This morning Constable Ben Elem

East end before Judge Purnell, hav-
ing caught them smoking on the
streets. After giving them good
lecture Judge Purnell promised them
that he expected to take all such boys
before Chief Ort for a treatment Of
COW hiding unless they broke up their
practise of smoking on the streets.
Judge Purnell is determined about
enforcing this law and will deal rath-
err severely with those lads who per-
