SATAN'S PARTY

Satan gave CHEEKY party, and he summoned all his
friends
And he set the table for them in the dusk;
There was Mammon-purpe robes a-fringed with
guineas at the ends,
There Moloch-dripping jaws and cleaning
tusk.
And for lightning, what could better cathedraled
ancient town
Set so skillfully ablazing by his imps?
While for nlusic-screams of women, their cap
tors cut 'em down
After samples were selected by the pimps
Round his lofty caverned halls, with their skull en-
crusted walls,
Rose the odors and the smokings of the feast,
And he chucked in his pride, "Since the night the
Saviour died
Never banquet could approach it in the last"
Satan little drinks himself though on each surround
ing shelf
Cleaned the bloody y-frothing tankards for his
guests,
For he keeps his wits-does he-though it pleases
him to see
That his friends are drinking deeply of his best.
When the whole of them were seated, each achieve
ment. was narrated
And he measured out his praises and his blame;
Then he called EN- close around-you could hardly
hear sound,
Nor have thought those eager listeners the same.
$50 far good"-he cleared his throat to attain
clearer note
"But there's much that still remains for us to do;
For most be-petted nation swiftly sinks to it's
damnatiOn;
We must find us fresh supporters, staunch and
true.
Now Pm sure little thought will instruct us how
we ought
To approach the new conditions that we find;
We must pour the German soul from its cracked and
broken bowl
And so poison quite another sort of mind
These Allies are stupid men, and, were much
ast0nished when
German Thought and Method burst upon their
view,
They must also say that Force (as you know it does
of course)
Gives the means to raise their fortunes once anew
Justice is Folly, and Mercy is stuff;
Pile up my riches, can't have enough.
Woe to the struggler, up with the strong
Hail to Beelzebub-fetch him along!
Friendship is nought and Religion a Farce,
Teach us how best we may rivals out pass,
Grinding bureaucracy circles our dream,
Merit and honor are just what they seem,
Useless mbrOiderles-sharpen the knife
Down with the friend in the struggle-for-life
Such is the song that wish you to teach EN-,
Lecture EN- write 'em and sing 'em and preach Eem;
Soak 'em in falsehood and set em to fight
So we may finally conquer the Right"
His guests now scattered-thoughtful as they
passed:
But up in Heaven the Voices-"This the last;
The children know their lesson-they will not,
Their God forgetting, be by God forgot"

smooth In order that the hay might
slide through easily. He tried TO gain
a purchase by thrusting outward with
his elbows, so that he might lift his
feet. but II was OF no use; he could
not even kick. The horse, in pulling
away the fodder. nipped at his toes.

Washington. There is a probability
that Germany may secure as result
of her strong contemporaries some
lessening In the severity OF the peace
terms. Germany's pleas that It will
be impossible TO fulfill the financial
requirements of the allies and her pro-
tests against certain territorial re-

tiers OF the peace conference the Ger

A full discussion of the German
contemporaries, especially concern
Ing reparations and other economic
features OF the treaty, has been held
by President Wilson and the staff OF
American experts. Great Britain is
said 10 favor a number of concessions
to Germany, but France continues firm
In her stand not to waver from the
original terms. The Americans are
declared 10 be not ayerse to minor
concessions, but are not in favor OF
going TO the extent that the British
propose.
