Such courtesy (one would have said)
Amid the waste of savage strife
Tends to maintain--what else were dead--
The sweet amenities of life;
And seeking ends so pure, so good,
So innocent, it _does_ surprise her
To be so much misunderstood
By all--except the KAISER.
O.S.

We print (with shame and the consciousness of turpitude) the following
letter:--
"_Bed 56, E Block_, 11/9/1917.
"DEAR SIR,--This morning I was reading your edition dated September
5, 1917. In the 'Charivaria' I saw an article in which you
proclaimed the North Pole to be the only territory that has not
had its neutrality violated by the Huns.
