The Kaiser is a bad man
That is trying all he can
To whip the world and make it his
For that is why this war is.
But Uncle Sam has sent his boys to
France,
So the Kaiser has not a chance;
And the war will soon be over,
And the, world will be in clover.
All the world will soon be free,
Everybody for Democracy;
There will be no more kings and
queens,
Old Wilhelm will know what this
means.
' He w’ill never be a Kaiser again,
No place shall he ever reign;
But if our boys get a chance,
There will be no one to worry old
France.
All the world will have presidents

And now I will give you a ‘few hints
Be true to the Red, White and Blue,
And all of this will soon come true.
To do your duty to the Red, Whit<

You must take this little cue:
Buy a War Stavings Stamp if you car
Even if it’s on the'installment plan.
Uncle Sam will soon pay it back,
So don’t let it be said that you lack
The courage to do the best you can,
Even if it’s on the war saving plan.

HOW THE AVIATOR FEELS.
Rome, Jan. 20.— (Correspondence
of The Associated Press)—How an
aviator feels when he drives an air
plane through a flamng observation
balloon is described by Giovanni An
cillotto, an Italian aviator who de
molished an Austrian balloon in that
fashion in an air conflict at Rustigne.
The balloon was guarded by three
Austrian chaser airplanes. These
were engaged by three Italian fight
ing machines while Ancillotto dived
straight at the balloon, at which he
opened fire with incendiary bullets
at a range of about twenty yards.
At the same moment he suddenly
realized the danger he was in, for it
was clearly impossible for him to
avoid collision with the now flaming
balloon.
“I thought to myself, it means
death,” he says in his report. ”1
closed my eyes and waited. Barely
a second passed before I felt a shock;
there was a sound of tearing, flames
rushed across my face. I opened my
eyes and found myself a few dozen
yards from the ground.
“I started my engines, steadied the
machine, glanced at the wings in
fear that their support would fail me.
They were trembling as though hro

| ken and were carrying some tattered
(pieces of stuff. But they held; the
j propeller turned, and the airplane,
(gradually gaining speed, glided to
j ward the Italian lines. A few min
! utes later I alighted at the camp.”
( Examination of the machine show
| ed that it had passed clean through
(the burning balloon. In the shock of
collision Che wings had actually been
broken in the middle, but were held
together by the support of the ma
chine gun.
