(The Editor insists on having some patriotic war poetry. The following specimen is as good,

at least, as any I have yet seen.—A. C.)

Millions of our Sammies, each with khaki and gun,

Are going to teach democracy to the Hun.

It is America, I do surely think,

That will put the Hohenzollerns on the blink.

They are going to France, the country of Lafayette,

And they’ll kan the kruel Kaiser, you bet.

The Germans all run away when they see them come,

For they mean to put the enemy on the bum.
