PUNCH,
OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.
Vol. 153.
September 12th, 1917.
CHARIVARIA.
The Cologne Gazette is of the opinion that the American troops, when they arrive in France, will be hampered by their ignorance of the various languages. But we understand that the Americans can shoot in any language.
A weekly periodical is giving away a bicycle every other week. Meanwhile The Daily Telegraph continues to give away a Kaiser every day.
I decline to have anything to do with the War,
said a Conscientious Objector to a North of England magistrate, and I resent this interference with my liberty.
Indeed he is said to be so much annoyed that he intends sending the War Office a jolly snappy letter about it.
CHARLIE CHAPLIN says a gossip writer is coming to England in the Autumn. This disposes of the suggestion that arrangements were being made for England to be taken over to him.
Incidentally we notice that CHARLIE CHAPLIN has become a naturalised American, with, we presume, permission to use the rank of Honorary Britisher.
Before a Northern Tribunal an applicant stated that he was engaged in the completion of an invention which would enable dumb people to speak or signal with perfection. He was advised, however, to concentrate for a while on making certain Germans say Kamerad.
An Isle of Wight man has succeeded in growing a vegetable marrow which weighs forty-three pounds. To avoid its being mistaken for the island he has scratched his name and address on it.
Those in search of a tactless present will bear in mind that Mr. MARK HAMBOURG has written a book entitled How to Play the Piano.

In Mid Cheshire there is a scarcity of partridges, but there is plenty of other game in Derbyshire. The Mid-Cheshire birds are of the opinion that this cannot be too strongly advertised.
Thirteen years after it was posted at Watford a postcard has just reached an Ealing lady inviting her to tea, and of course she rightly protested that the tea was cold.
An estate near Goole has been purchased for £118,000, the purchaser having decided not to carry out his first intention of investing that amount in a couple of boxes of matches.
Herr Erzberger is known among his friends as The Singing Socialist.
We are afraid however that if he wants peace he will have to whistle for it.
The Provisional Government in Russia, according to The Evening News, has always regarded an international debate on the questions of war and pease as useful.
But our Government, not being exactly provisional, prefers to go on giving the enemy beans.
COMFORTING THOUGHT

THE END OF AN EPISODE.
I write this in the beginning of a minor tragedy; if indeed the severance of any long, helpful and sympathetic association can ever be so lightly named. For that is precisely what our intercourse has been these many weeks past; one of nervous and quickly roused irritation on my part, of swift and gentle ministration on his.
