ALONE (Baltimore Sun) Somewhere alone today he sits apart In shadows brooding, cloaked and isolate The king whose soul was darkened, and whose heart Had only room for savagery and hate! Somewhere, unpitied by a word that roars Onward and upward to its destined goal And in his ears the echoing of lost wars And deathless desolation in his soul! Somewhere the object of all free men's scorn The butt of slaves, the outcast of a dream, He walks in night; there is no light of morn For him, no hope to enter with its gleam! has gone down because around his throat ; gers of little children clutch and cling, vjshed women's fingers; faces float Mm, and spears of conscience sting! K " vanished like the dust that blows TJk of Caesar, and upon The is. . .ne sea that once seemed rose Of w&. . c ardor to Napoleon! Somewhere.idisgraced, bowed down, a living curse, He wanders lonely as a leper might This king that matched the devil and grew worse, And now lies cringing at the feet of Right! , It would be vastly interesting and educational to know, as we can't help but wonder, what the ex-Kaiser's feelings and thoughts must be, now. when the Allied Natiws are sending their great men, of whom they are so justly proud, to the Peace Conference. According to a dis patch from London, William Hohenzollern is ill with influenza at the castle of Amerongen, where he has lately retreated. How little suffer ing must his physical illness cause him in comparison with the mental anguish which must be his! What remorseful and torturing thought must be his ever-present companions! What worse punishment could be visited upon such a man than to be ill, and alone. With the nations upon whom he waged war re joicing over their victories fought in behalf of Democracy, and with each of those nations striving individually and collectively to pay honor to the heroes and commanders of the several Allied armies, the ex Kaiser can only compare the wretched outcome of his pride and greed. His own country does not want him. He has made a failure of him self as an emperor, as a commander, and what is really the most piog nant of all as a man. He has done all the things that a man in those positions should not do. He is a living example of the final outcome of celfishness. His own folly has put him in the position which he now occupies that of the most hated man of all time. William Hohenzollern had the opportunity to serve his people, to better the world, and to make himself beloved by those whom he ruled and by all posterity. He had, also, the dream of a world empire and of himself and bis son as the rulers of such a dynasty. He had the chance to be either noble or mercenary In order to further his own selfish aims he sacrificed the happiness, welfare, and the lives of mill ions of his people. To spread his own ideas and doctrines broadcast over the world be stopped at nothing. New, an old man, broken in health, defeated in his every attempt! despised by his people, and a menace to himself, he faces the reckoning. Who could punish the ex-Kaiser as the insti gator of the greatest war of history, more than he is being punished by being left alone to face the thoughts that must arise from within him. HAND GRENADES So friend Tom at Camp Furiston asked for one of your pictures, did he? And you decided that the pictures that you had taken last year did not do your beauty justice, so you made an appointment with a local photog rapher, to have a new one taken. Two hours before the fatal event was to occur, you vwent to the hair dressers', who curled your erstwhile straight locks with irons the siw nt stove pokers, and with many painful pulls and more hair pins (equally painful) dressed the now curly tresses in a most becoming although uncom fortable, fashion. You then went home and borrowed Ruth's new dress, Alice's pearl neefc- i lace, Elizabeth's new fur, and became very indignant at Louise, who would ot let you take her featherfan well, you did not care about the old fan anyway you always did think it look ed Fike a cheap one. Then to the photographers, where you spent a trying three-quarters of an hour. The photographer did not like your hair-dress, and to your disgust made you simplify it quite a bit. Nor f?d he IP.zt EHbe'iVs fur, ana to your further disgust, made you take it off. His ideas of posing and yours, were as far apart as is the east from the west. Yon had thought a bit of pa triotism would be effective-for In stance a flag l' no back ground or fomethlng stirring like that-bnt, the man would not hear of it. Instead, he Insisted that yon look sentimentally at an artificial rose which ho gave you to hold Idly In your hand. Then he- propod you up against an artificial window, out of which you were to look with a dreamy expression. A few more insipid poses like this, and the ordeal was over. In a week you got the proofs, and after long and thoughtful meditation, you decided on one of them. In an other week you got the completed Pictures-and the Mil for them. That same day you received a telegram say ing that Tom had sailed. You took the picture to the post office to send it. There you wore told that you were not allowed to send photographs over seas. "Somebody's always taking the joy out of life. D n the kaiser" Vcuse us, Mr. Briggs. ALUMNI The following alumni have register ed in the alumni office recently: Harold G.

Secretary Alumni Association, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska: I am employed in the testing de partment of the Westinghouse Elec tric and Manufacturing company, at East Pittsburg, where I have been since leaving the department of en gineering and drawing at the Univer sity of Illinois a year ago last June. We have been very busy during the past year, about ninety per cent of the output of the company being either for the government of for companies doing government work. The contracts for electrical machin ery for the United States navy that are being executed by this company will not be affected by the armistice and it looks as if we would be well occupied for some time yet. Yours truly, C. A. ATWELL, '14. SIX HOURS PER WEEK FOR MILITARY DRILL (Continued from pae 1) to drill will be devoted to physical ex ercise in the form of military athlet ics, calesthenics and games, and bay onet practice. The other half will be given over to close order drill and musketry. TMb change was maae because of the signing of the armistice and the shifting of the army toa peace basis. The suggested delay in putting it into effect is to avoid interference with the existing academic schedule.
