 And dear old spring is here. But if the day is pleasant, And shadows are in view, He'll sneak right back into his hole, And then, oh what to do. Six more weeks of winter, You'll hear the Ground Hog say, So cross your fingers, every one, Vote for cloudy day.

 The statesmen who declare war should be the first to en- ter the trenches and go over the top. Such q plan would do more to bring about per- manent universal peace than all the Hagues ever set up.
