WELSH-AMERICAN Janaury 1, 1916

A German Victim
  Here is a living example of the brutal and inhuman butchery of the
German hogs.
  Two little children in Belgium were playing on the roadside when some
German soldiers passed by and ordering the little ones to place their
hands on a block of wood, deliberately chopped off the four hands of the
innocent little ones.
  This is German kultur and if Germany wins that brutal, devilish kultur
will rule the world.
  Our people in Wales are fighting the kultur.

Mellon's Tax Plan in Verse

  The real Mellon plan is summed up in the following:
  Tax the people, tax with care,
  Tax to help the millionaire;
  Tax the farmer; tax his fowl;
  Tax his pig and tax his squeal,
  Tax his plow and tax his clothes,
  Tax the rag that wipes his nose;
  Tax his house and tax his bed,
  Tax the bald spot on his head;
  Tax the living, tax the dead,
  Tax the unborn before they're fed;
  Tax the water, tax the air,
  Tax the sunlight, if you dare;
  Kill the credit, raise the rates,
  Tax the cities, tax the states,
  Save the profiteer his gold,
  Tax the poor, tax the old;
  Tax them just as much as you can,
  This is, friends, the Mellon plan.
  --Rep. Lankford (D.) Ga.

THE SOUTH SIDE .....    

Now, Sammies!  I want to tell you
Something perhaps you never knew;
Don't think a wife is the whole thing in life,
When you've got a mother so true.
If I were out on the sea
And had wife and mother with me,
If the ship would sink which do you think
I'd take in the life boat with me?
I've studied the question over,
A thousand times or more,
And only one mother is all you can have,
But you can get wives by the score.
A mother will fondle and kiss you
>From the cradle to the grave;
But oft times your wife will caress you
As long as you are her slave,
A wife may tell you she loves you
And swear that she'll always be true,
But if you return with a wing off,
She'll find another with two.
So, Sammies, give the last kiss to mother,
When you go to lick "Kaiser Bill";
And on your return, if you're crippled for life,
She'll be your mother still.
