TROOP D SCRAPPER GIVES OLD
I KAISER BILL WORD OF WARNING
Private "Rattlesnake Pete'' of
(Troop D. who has distinguished him.
(self already as a fighter and as a vo
jcabulary expert, believes In preparing
the kaiser for what Is to happen.
Therefore. Instead of devoting his llt
jerary talents to a farewell oration to
j Pendleton he has employed them to
! indite a letter to the imperial ruler
I of the Germans. He has kindly fur.
nlshed a copy of his epistle to the
Kast Oregonian. Here it is:
Pendleton. Ore., Auk. 10, 1917.
Keiser Wilholm Der Gross,
Ruler of all the Heinles. the King'i
Palace Berlin, Germany.
Dear Keiser Dill:
On this momentuous occasion it be
hooves me to take you Into my con
fidence, for the reason that I note
that you are attempting to condole
your subjects Into the belief that the
entree of Uncle Sum Into this strug.
glo of which you are the chief insti
gator. Is not of serious moment. 1
want .you to know that I have your
interest at heart, and hence am tak
jlng the liberty of writing you at this
I time.
In the first place, l want you m
realize the fact that once Uncle Rim
Is aroused there Is little likelihood of
him quitting until his end will have
been accomplshed. Why, Bill, as a
matter of fact it could not be other,
wise. Uncle Sam always has been In
the right, and even though you may
attempt to nut on a bold front and
! pretend that you are in the right this
i time, away down in the bottom nf
your heart you know better. And al
though your cause may prevail for
a time, as our old friend Abraham
Lincoln once remarked. "lu can
fool some of the people sill of the
time, and you can fool all of the peo
ple some of the time, but you can't
fool all of the people all of the
time."
No doubt you understand by this
time that while It was possible In the
past to lead the people Into the be.
lief that Monarchies are all r'ght, and
that the King was the Divinely ap
pointed of Ood, you have I am sure,
become to feel as do all other pro
gressive people that civilization is too
far advanced now to hoodwing tne
people Into a belief of this kind much
longer. True It is that Monarchies
are all right, provided the head of
the house proves to be the right sort
of a fellow, but you know. Bill, that
there has only been about one out ol
even- dozen who nas proven to or
the right sort of a fellow. Take
your own kinsmen of the House t
Hohenzollern as an example: FVeder.
ick the Great, of course, was a vers'
able leader, but my dear Bill. Just
take a look at his successor. William
the Fat. He was a Joke and you will
have to admit it . And too, Just
look at that son ' of yours. He
couldn't lead a horse to drink, let
alone a nation successfully. Yet you
have the audacity to attempt to con
quer the world, and then after you
are gone, pass the whole cheese over
to him as your successor. Seriously,
Bill, .you don't thlnn Uncle Sam
would stand for that do you? And
so it is I could go on Indefinitely
calling these instances' to your atten
tion, but it is really unnecessary for
me to do so. We all know that your
whole idea of government is a Joke,
and you are aware of it, too.
You overlooked one or two tmngi
when you Insisted on Uncle Sam get.
ting into this struggle. For inslanco,
you forgot that he has more resources
than you and your allied cohorts put
together, and you know that you
can't kid yourself Into the belief
that the matter of resources Is no:
an important Item, and then too, you
must have forgotten that he has
about 10 million of the best fighters
In the world. Oh. yes, I know that
thev are not prepared to deal you a
knockout blow right off the bat, but
just let me remind you that since
Uncle sam has the resources, and the
inclination to get these men prepared
to fight, you may rely on it that it
won't take long now that the fur
has been rubbed the wrong way.
You see the crux to the whole sit
uation Is this: There is a whole lot
in this world that you have never
seen nor heard about. For instance,
1 don't 'suppose that you know there
is a place In the world by the name
of Pendleton, Ore., in fact I doubt
whether you have ever heard of the
town they call "Lt 'er Buck." Yet.
almost every one else In the world
knows of th'place and has heard of
the Round-Up. And so It Is l'say
that your scope of knowledge .Is ex.
eedlngly limited and the . things
that you do know are pretty iiruch
out of date. Well, to make a long
story short, when they start to do
things In Pendleton they always put
thiiiKS across In grand style. Not
long ago Uncle Sam floated a Liberty
Loan and do you know, Hill, that lit
tle city alone subscribed approximate,
ly ItiO'i.OOO to that loan, and all be.
cause of the fact that these people
here desired to give you a punch In
the jaw. And then again came the
Re 1 Cross Drive, and strange as It
may seem to your comprehensive
mind, dad gum my calB If Pendleton
hadn't raised her portion of the mon
ey even before the mum arive nau
started. And they did this. Bill, be
cause they wanted to give you an.
other punch. But that's not the
worst of the whole business, and
right here is where they are going to
get your goat for fair. We have or
ganized here a bunch of those ltough
Riding Fiends who have put the
Round-Up on the map, and VhJy are
leaving in a few days for the express
purpose of ehadlng the procession
when it, heads into Berlin, and when
they do start just lake a hunch from
me, Keiser, and get your little Heln.
ies out of the way. and by all odds,
don't forget to hide yourself. If you
ever had seen the Round-Up and had
seen those Hungry Hounds do things
a biff scale you would have some
idea of how long you or your Hein
les would last once those fellows get
on your trail. And that's why I am
giving you the hunch to begin to
pull In your horns while the pulling
is good.
If you don't, by all odds, don t De
surprised when you hear those boys
shout through the streets of Berlin.
"Let 'er Buck!"
Yours In all sincerity.
