We had barely got by when speck
| in the sky
Gave warning sub was in sight,
Then came the report like the boom
of quinn
To US it was now sink or fight.
/ Luck favored us once, our neighbor
was struck
The one we had barely got past,
For what were we spared, unes per
chance
To get over the top at last.
We Sa her sag over, but she didn' t
go down
The conveys came flocking to aid
The Kaiser and hun with the sub
marine gun
Were consigned to where they were
made
We soon landed in France, but the
time we had spent
Now cost us our place in the camp.
Two weeks more were lost, being bill
leted out
Sleeping any where most, like a
tramp.
Then six weeks Of training to per-
feet our men,
And learn all the tricks of the hun,
We were now fit to fight and believe
me o. Mike,
To be killing for us, would be fun.
The day was set, to move up to the
front
The boys We're all crazy to go.
Every detail was worked, not an idtem
was shirked 81
We'd go over the top in row,
On the 18th of November we would
then do or die,
By our blood the whole world would
be free.
And old glory would wave or this land
of the brave
No matter what happened to me.
Gods of battle and war, although you
I abhore,
| am cursing you now more than ther
You know how l tried and would
gladly have died
/ To go over the top with my men.
rBut the Kaiser and hun, We're now or
the run
! May they shoulder in some place

They were yellow clear through, dirty
black legged crew,
Signed the armistice November II.

Premium Is Put On
Idleness In Berlin
ID m Amoedatel Preml

Berlin, May THE Imperial
Voorhees, Committee has prepared a
bill for the National Assembly which
if enacted into law might put a con
siderable premium on idleness. Os-
tensibly the bill is designed only to
give a living to millions Of Germans
out Of employment but it goes so far
that the man who works would be at
a disadvantage.
In the first place a man would be
considered without employment ever
though he declined an offer Of work.
Employment must come only thru
his solicitation. When out Of work
each man would receive ten marks a
day, his wife four marks and child
rem under fourteen two marks.
The German newspapers arr treat
ing the proposal with varying de.
grees Of sarcasm.

CENSORSHIP
ONIRELAND
NOT REMOVED
Il r.n.--- = 49, na.E = -. -. = =

Dublin, May 5,-(Correspondence Of
Associated Press)-The Irish censor
ship has not been entirely removed as
has that of England. Major Bryan
Cooper, formerly Unionist member of
Parliment for South Dublin, has been
appointed press censor for Ireland
succeeding Lord Decies who has re-
signed.
The Irish censorship, however, is
declared to be voluntary and no paper
is required to submit copy to the cen
sor. But as the penalties for object
ionable publications still remain, and
may involve seizure of plant and
machinery, it is expected that the
newspapers will make themselves
safe by taking the censor's plan on
all doubtful matter.
The government declares that lin
the interests Of the peace OF the coun-
try it is impossible for the government
to permit any section Of the press to
be used as an instrument of incite-
ment to organized or other defiance
of the law d. for the purpose Of in
flaming public ouinion to the pitch in
which acts of lawlessness become pos
sible." But the government adds that
"there is no intention to interfere
with the legitimate political discuss
ion or propaganda" It is probable
that while the general body of the
Irish press will continue their rela-
lions with the censor very much as
before, the Sim Fein papers may
take all rfsls.

veniie of the Nations Engaged
in the War.

Ihe average man thinks the United
States is the youngest nation that was
actively engaged in the war that prac-
tlcally ended with the recent sigHing
or the armistice with Germany. AS a
matter Of fact, it is one of the older
nations engaged in the war.
The most recently formed nations
that have taken part In the struggle
are Roumania, Bulgaria, and Serbia,
which were given their independence
OF turkey about forty years ago. They
mad existed before, though not pre-
cisely in the limits of today, but they
mad been long under Turkish rule.
Next in youth is Germany. Of course
there has been Germany for twenty
centuries or longer, but at first Eie

France in 1870. The German emnire
was established in 1871 and Germany
was never really a nation before that
time.
Next comes Italy, which became a
Kingdom in 1850 or 1860. OF course

one hundred years before the German
