It would have been signed on this first day But the German Generals whom they sent out to sign up, had never been to the front and dident know just where it was,

   The Kaiser was on the verge at one time of visiting the western front then he said, "No I will just wait a few days till it comes to me,"

   Our Show was playing in Philadelphia when the first Armistace was signed, (

    The one the saloon men framed up

   ) I was a bit leary of it all the time as I had been there once before when the Union League Club had paraded for a Mr Hughes, Then later they had to put the Parade back,

    I had always believed Phila to be slow and here it was 2 days ahead of the Facts

   At that time everybody wondered what to do with the Kaiser, I thought he should have been brought to this Country and made to clean the streets after that first Armistace day,

   A funny thing the Armistace was signed about the time the returns of the last election come in. The Germans and the Democrats learned their fate on the same day,

   When the war was over the Kaiser called his 6 sons to him and said, "Now boys we better duck Cause this war is over and you boys can get hurt

    Now

   ,"

   The thing that hurt the Kaiser worse than losing the war, Was that in all the Armistace terms they dident even mention his name,

   Everybody commence talking about the Peace Conference and who was to go, Some Republican Senators went so far as to engage a lower birth,

   There was so much argument about who was to go, That Pres Wilson says I tell you what, "We will split 50-50 I will go and you fellows can stay,"

   At last we were going to get even with them for all their commissions coming over here,

   You know for a while COMMISSIONS were coming so fast, That we

   were lucky to find a fellow who knew what Flag to put out each day,

   We were meeting Servian Commissions with Romanian Flags,
