The Kaiser’s Talk To Hell
NOTE:-—Several months ago the
following poem was published in
Trench and Camp with due recogni
tion to the author and magazine from
which it was culled. Since that time
it has appeared in numerous papers
throughout the United States and in
various form has kept coming to the
editor's desk an average of three times
a week. Sometimes it comes appar
ently as an original production, other
times as a clipping, again in a fearful
scrawl, and often neatly typewritten.
Every time it is submitted an urgent
request accompanies it that it be
printed. So here goes. Perhaps later
on we shall print It again.
THE EDITOR.
O, the Kaiser called the devil up,
On the telephone one day.
The girl at central listened to,
All they had to say.
"Hello,” she heard the Kaiser’s voice,
"Is old .man Satan home?
Just tell him this is Kaiser Bill
That wants him on the phone.
The devil said, "Helio” to Bill
And Bill said, ‘How are vou?
I’m running here a hell on earth
So tell me what to do.”
“What can I do” the devil said,
My dear old Kaiser Bill?
If there's a thing that I can do
To help you, I sure will.”
The Kaiser said, "Now listen,
And 1 will try to tell
The way that I am running,
On earth a modern hell|
I’ve saved this for many years
And I’ve started out to kill,
That it will be a modem job,
You leave to Kaiser Bill.
My army went through Belgium.
Shooting women and children down,
We tore up all her country,
And blew up all her towns.
My Zeppß dropped bombs on cities
Killing both old and young,
And those the Zeppelins didn't get
Were taken out and hung.
Extracts From The Yankee
Y ankers of the Dental Corps
A most exciting game was played be
tween the Dental Assistants of No. 2
Dental Infirmary and a team from the
Development Battalion last Wednesday.
The score looked like Charlie Schwab's
bank balance, In favor of the Tooth Tlnk
erers. The winners are now challenging
any teams from the French or Italian
Base Hospitals, one leg is the Imlt al
lowed each player. The detal team after
having sufficient practice with cripples
anticipate a hard game with their 'co
workers of No. 1 Infirmary.
Our pitcher Boland, besides being cham
pion cigar-smoker, surprises us as a
wonderful spit ballist. Joeren showed
exceptional ability bv only letting one
ball pass him In right field. (It was the
only ball that camo his way). Pundt
knocked a clean homer, by rights, base hit
out the third baseman and left fielder
from the development battalion could
not grab their cruthes quick enough to
field the clout.
We arc glad to see Blumberg back from
his furlough. Ducky dog to have witness
ed a murder just before being called to
camp.
Nelson, the food-hound, isan expert at
eating pie, We always wondered why
he and the cook were always seen to
gether so often. But now the jig’s up.
Mantanack expects to copyright a book
on how to get a commission. Manty, tell
us some more about our commissions.
CLARA’S LETTER
TO CHARLEY
Dear Charley:
We’ve been having awful hot Weath
er this past week, but I guess Its good
we have it so. because it makes the
corn grow. You can hear it from my
window. I hope you are not suffering
from the heat. Don’t forget and put
on some lighter weight clothes. If
the army doesn’t give you any go to
town and buy some. And Charley on
these hot days don’t you dare to go
out nnd drill on the hot parade field.
Just you tell the captain that you can
not stand the heat as you once had a
touch of the sun. And, then, anyway
since you are a* corporal you don’t
have to do the things the common
privates do. Just assert your rights,
Charley. I don’t want you to injure
yourself while you are in the army.
Ain’t I right, Charley. Just because
you are under what you call orders,
I can’t see what prevents them from
giving you a few days to come home.
If 1 were you, Charley, I’d write to the
boss of the camp and tell him exactly
the reasons why you must come
home. Charley what is the title of
the man who Is the big boss in the
camp. Well. I’d write to him and put
it mighty plain that you have been
away from home long onus and that
you deserve a rest and vacation. If
you think it would help any, I’ll write
him myself if you send me his name
and address. I certainly want to see
you, Charley. I’m awfully crazy to be
with you. _
On Friday evening the church had a
sociable in the church yard. We
worked all day putting up Chinese
lanterns and making the yard look
neat and pretty. Maisie and I served
at one of the tables and we had a
fine time. Lou Allen sat at my table
all evening and bet he ate a half dozen
plates of ice cream before he asked me
to go home with him. I knew all the
while what ho was going to do, but I
thought the church needed the money
and the ice cream wouldn’t hurt him.
Understand, Charley, there is not a
thing between Lou and I. You don’t
have to get excited about his seeing
me every once in a while. You know
Lou has no sense. Ain’t I right,
Charley T
You talk as though you were going
to leave Camp Hancock pretty soon.
You sav rumor has it and you called
rumor by a funny name. I have heard
of Dame Rumor, but never the kind
that you spoke about. What does It
mean. Charley? I do hope they don’t
send you across until you can come
home. And if you cant’ come home,
won’t you wire us where you are going
and maybe we can travel east to say
good-bye. You ought to learn where
you are going pretty definitely now
I that you are a corporal. Really and
I truly, Charley, I am awfully anxious
■ to see you.
This has to be a short letter as I am
in a hurry to get dinner on for I am
going out driving this afternoon and
have a picnic lunch in Mish’s woods.
Lou wants to try out his new buggy.
Write soon. As ever, your friend,
CLARA.

TO THE CAMP HANCOCK
BOYS
(By Harriette Gray)
The author of th efollowing lines is
the wife of General Carl R. Gray,
known throughout the country as rail
road president, and lately placed at
the head of the administration of our
American railroads, by President Wil
son. Mrs. Gray was recently a guest
in tho camp and spoke before the
' boys in khaki” in Y. M. C. A. build
ings 79 and 231.
Since I went down to Camp Hancock
The world seems quite different to
me.
It’s peopled with boys all in khaki.
Whose bright, manly faces I jee.
They’re thirsty—for water that
quenches;
For bread that will satisfy;
For light that dispells the darkness;
For life that will never die.
They’re hungry for God and His
Saviour,
Oh, somebody tell them—how
He is gotten—by simply "receiving:”
Flease, somebody t< them now!
Their faces are ever before me—
The Greek, the Italian, the Jew.
The Russian, the Swede, the Nor
wegian,
And Uncle Sam’s boys so true.
They're all marching now together—
I care not their land or creed;
There’s only one God who can save
them;
There’s only one Christ they should
heed.
He died—for the r ch and the mighty.
He died —for the poor and oppressed.
He died—that the world with its
troubles
Might come unto Him and find rest.
Then tell them the wonderful story.
Let nobody fail to know
Os his love, so free and forgiving;
Os his love which he waits to be
stow.
God bless you, dear boys in khaki.
And make yon a blessing, too
May your Shield be His Shield of
Salvation;
May your Sword be His Word so
true!
Say you saw it in the Trench and
Camp.

MASKS PROTECT U. S. MEN

Protection against any of the gases

to American soldiers by the masks

official announcement by the Chemi

partment.
"Statements that American masks

fects of mustard gas are not war
ranted,” saya the Chemical Warfare
Section.
Continuing, the official announce
ment aaya:
“The masks now worn will protect
soldiers as long as they are required
to remain In areas drenched by gas.
The clothing worn by the soldiers
win resist the effects of the gas for a
normal period
“As an added precaution the sol
diers see now provided with a neu
tralizing ointment to bo rubbed on
thorn parts of the body whan mus
tard gas is likely to penetrate
through the clothes.
“This ointment U being prepared
