Text Appearing Before Image:
ay death, while I shall pray, liveon! Racked with self-pity, ever dying, live! Walter Juan Davis (59) LONG LIVE THE KAISER! Long live Bill Hohenzollern of Berlin!Lord spare him till he realize the sinHe has committed gainst the human race —May he live many years of earned disgrace! Long live his imbecilic Kaiser nibs — Live to recant the bare-faced super-fibs He and his gang have told a sickened world — Live till he sees his battle banner furled. Long live this nut after he gets it good !His ego dwells where sense of humor should.May he outlive Methuselah, countless years,And leak whole oceans of repentant tears. Long life to him and many a clear-cut tokenHow glad earth is to know his power broken;Long may he live to see how huge an assHistorians write him as the glad years pass! Long live the Kaiser — sure, twould be a sinTo have him die ere peace was ushered in,And all mankind combined to jeer and flout himAnd say how sweet this planet is without him! Strickland Gillilan(6ol
Text Appearing After Image:
Drawn by William Steinke, The Scrantonian, Scranton, Pennsylvania The dam'd spots will never out.

LONG LIVE THE KAISER! May he live long enough to read this — he maynot live after. Long live the Kaiser! May he live Forever and forever,And may the peace that Death can give Be Wilhelms blessing never. Long live the Kaiser — not his yoke —Long live, but not long reign; We would not doom his German folkTo bear eternal pain. Long live the Kaiser, may his years, If counted they must be,Be counted by the countless tears Wrought by his infamy. Long live the Kaiser! May he dwell Where he can daily learnSome detail of the earthly hell That Wilhelm caused to burn. Long live the Kaiser, live to view The evil he has done.Some day, perhaps, another Sue May write The Wandering Hun. (63) Long live the Kaiser, yet, and yet,Though little good men bear him, Twere better could the world forget —It certainly can spare him. Poetic justice it might be To save him from the Reaper — But who so steeped
