In speaking of the conditions of the

THE assessor made assessments

$5,6S1,62. Last year. for instance,
the assessor collected from one
source over $4,000 on such an as

it, and which the county would
otherwise have lost.

TRUTH FINALLY SOAKS
THROUGH HUN Skull

London, Jan. 4.-The Vossische
Zeitung of Berlin, pointing out that
it is useless for the Germans to COM
plain of the harsh" terms Of the
armistice and to plead for food from
their former enemies until they es-
tablish a stable government in Ber-
lin says:
"All that sort Of thing is only cal
culated to confuse the real issues and
to miss the only way that leads out
of disaster. 1t is a matter that con-
Germs all the allies, not France alone,
and the allies know very well what
they ought to know. They have de-
cided to help Germany when their
conditions are fulfilled. Their de-
mand is the restoration OF order in
Germany. The allies demand visible
guarantees that Germany shall not
fall out of one despotism into anoth-
er and they demand that the internal
conditions OF Germany shall be
placed in a position which shall for
bid anarchy.
"The fulfillment Of these demands
does not depend on the number OF
conflicting officials, least OF all, or
the armistice commission. 1t is the
affair of a united and determined
government"
The remedy, according to the
newspaper is to hurry forward the
assembling Of the national conven
tion. 1t does not consider it possible
that the allies will break their word
Germany must look to her owr
fate" the newspaper concludes. "I
is no use making appeals. There ii
still time for the German people t.
win back all that they have lost il
the war and what they cannot d.
without unity-the respect of tn,
world and their daily bread. But tn
last moment has come and energeti
action is demanded.

away from it, tell you.
Then We had quite an extended
ride in a box car and finally arrived

how much worse it is in the trenches.

truth we may go back home again

To fight for my country and you.
The roaring Of cannons I hear Mag
gle,
l see the French soldiers in blue.
The mansions are torn from the hills,
Maggie,
Where first Old Kaiser swung,
But he's now near the end Of his
rope, Maggie,
This war is nearly won.
Chorus
Old Kaiser is worried and gray,
Maggie,
His trying to rule the world is near
ly done,
When we reach his mansion in Ber-
lin, Maggie,
1t will be the last of the Hun.
Today We reached the mansion in
Berlin, Maggie,
And captured old Kaiser and his
crew,
We hung them to a sour apple
tree Maggie,
The way we have long meant to do.
He has confessed to most of his sins,
Maggie,
The women and children he killed,
And the hands of the Belgians he
took, Maggie,
So here's the last of Kaiser Bill.
Chorus
Now the Kaiser lies in his grave,
Maggie,
Where he'll never more see the sun,
These words are carved on his tomb,
Maggie,
Here lies Bill, the ornery Hun"
I'll soon be returning to you Maggie,
To my home far over the sea.
By the creek and the cracking old
mill, Maggie,
With the flowers, trees and honey
bees.
Where the birds sang sweet and low,
Maggie,
By the brook where we played mer-
rily.
Well be happy as the day we were
Maggie,
When you promised my bride you
would be.
And then we'll be happy and gay
Maggie.
The same as we used to be.
Where the Star Spangled Banner
waves, Maggie,
Der the land of the brave and the
free.
