BACCHUS AT THE FRONT.

Extract from a speech by the KAISER as reported by _The Sun_

(Vancouver, B.C.):--

"The campaign ... had been conducted according to the

brilliant plans of Field-Marshal von Hindenburg.... The old

god of bottles directed. We were his instruments and we are

proud of it."

"Among some of the best-informed bankers in the City the view

taken in this respect is one which it may be well for the

public at large to have repeated for their own guidance. The

new War Loan, they say, will either be the last before the

Allies impose on the enemy their own terms of peace, or it

will not."--_The Times_.

We had already formed the same opinion, but we are glad to have it

confirmed on such high authority.

"Barrow magistrates decided that _Ideas_ must not be sold

after the closing hour."--_Daily Sketch_.

Unfortunately this will not prevent the bore from continuing to give

you his gratis.
