THE BIG SURPRISE
PROGRAM CF THE WEEK
"WILLIAM HOHENZOLLERN"
Well, the Kalser'a boast has ended,
And th bloody Hun has failed.
For the Yanks and French and Brit
ish, too
Hare got the Humbug nailed.
The Clown Trlnce and Von Hinden
burg Have tasted Yank defeat,
And they're beaten with their army
That they scorned a land could beat.
Their bombing raids on London
And their murders on the K-as.
Where the policies of war thry Mid.
The payments of their fees.
Yet when the turn of war has come
And they're driven to the wnll,
They cry for Justice, think of It.
Attempting that old stall.
Thej're seeing how It goes
To have the bombs drop in the
street,
So they Kamerad like Germans do
And keep at their retreat.
And so we've given armistice
And stated terms of peace.
Wherein the lamb of Germany
Is robbed of all his fleece.
Yet peace at- hand means nothing
In the life of Prussian Bill,
And the high Gazooks that hang
about
To grovel at his will.
For I see an ivory tombstone
And a statue made of wood,
And on the tombstone wTitteti
So the eye can read it good:
"Here lie the shanks of Kaiser Bill,
Who loved Limberger's smeil.
Who quit this earth to take a job
In the boiler room of Hell."

(Continued from page 1)
The French women in the neighbor
hood are keeping the graves all deco
rated with flowers or were when we
left there the middle of August, and
there is no doubt they will be kept in
good shape for the French Btire think
lots of the khaki clad boys.
His personal belongings were col
lected by the Y. M. C. A. chaplain
and will be sent to his folks in due
time. On account of censorship,
at present I am unable to give loca
tion .etc., of grave, but if I sni lucky
enough to return, I can at least tell
his folks where he is buried, and if
any of them come over here later
they would have no trouble finding it.
I have a friend at the town near
there and will have him see how
the grave is being kept and let you
know. I, of course, am hundreds of
miles from there now, but may return
before starting home. If there is any
thing in here h's folks don't know you
can tell them, but they probably have
more direct news from other sources
by now. I was on burial squad that
day, so was one of the four to bury
him.
I always go through wards during
spare time and ask for Nebraska
boys in Marines, but now we begin
to see them often and they are as
good scrappers as the next. As far as
I know Fletcher is the only one that
has died while in our hospital and
they did their best to save him, but
he had bad wounds and nothing could
save him.
You can send this to his folks or
tell them Just as you please.

"A Gob? And what's that?"
"Why. 'Us L 'tis V replies the sail
or, his chest inflating with pride.
-Why I thought yor. were a sailor,
she said, raising ber delicately arched
evebrows with surprise.
""Why, I am. but you see sailors are
called Gobs."
"They are. Why?" -
"WelL I daiino, guess some eld Gob
with a hash mark could tell you."
"A hash mark? A Gob with a hash
mark. Why. what in the world do you
hash , H-A-S-H M-A-R-K.
Very simple, a hash mark. It means
a service stripe for a Gob who has
served a tbe MTy' .

-De what"
"Serve a hitch in the navy."

Wilson is Ferving his second hitch?"
"Well, you might say it- tbat way
I guess you don't understand about
the navy very well, do you?"
"Well, not very much. Our hired
girl's cousin is in it, and every one
calls him Jack, why is that?"
"Maybe he has some idea, did ya
get that?"
"Why no, I can't see anything
funny about it. Say and what are
those trousers so big at the bottom
for, that flap so queerly when one
dances with a sailor? But I do think
they are awfully picturesque."
"Say, listen, I can't start to tell
yon all about it now. Let's go chow."
"Chow? Are you talking Chinese
to me now?"
"Chinese, don't you understand Eng
lish? I mean eat a goup at Piller's."
"Well, allright, but I must go to
the Red Cross rooms first and get
some yarn."
"Say, I sure would like to have you
knit me a sweater. Ill buy the yarn
n'e very thing. Kuh?"
"Allright, but I am knitting four or
five before yours."
And thus they went to chow.
DIGNIFIED STUDENTS OF MUSIC
And you dare to call us
"Mad
House!"
Good sir, that's unpardonable crime!
We are dignified students of music,
That beautiful art, so 6ublime.
Those "squeeks" which you speak or
so lightly
I hope' 'twill enlighten you some
Are the patient and untiring efforts
Of young masters, yet to come.
You speak of the "groans and the
wailing.
Of the Mad House over the way."
Have ycu ever been to a French class
Whilh is learning it's vowels? go
some day.
And hear them moan somberly, softly.
Their "ahs" and their awful "aw-ees,"
And in a bright, gleeful chorus
Shriek "wee Mamoselle, oh we
wee."
Why not class them "as wild inmates.
With their murmurs and deep
throaty growls?
Perhaps 't-would be a good plan, sir,
"Squeeks" and vociferous vowels!
In closing, I'd like to explain, sir.
That I was the woman in pain."
I had practiced for hours all that
morning
On two measures Again and again.
And Just as I was succeeding. .
And had almost reached that high
"C"
For which I was anxiously striving.
You rushed wildly in opon me.
And all my long, auxions -efforte
Had to be started a-new.
So when you hear the wild walling
No doubt twill be I adien!

boys were again talking of "when we
get over there," and "after we finish
the fight." Rumors as a rule have
little effect on the soldiers, but the
word of the captain tbat prospects

gave flight to the last doubts of the
men.
