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.

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.
