Teacher—“Now, children, who can tell me which is the Germans’ favorite drink?”
After a pause—“Champagne,” exclaimed all the class excepting Tommy.
Teacher—“Now, Tommy, don’t you agree with the others?”
Tommy—“Well, teacher, I don’t know. I am not sure that the German army are fond of champagne, but all the world knows that their navy always stick to port.”
A RARE OFFERING
Scene, improvised singsong in a British relief-camp, to which a number of German prisoners were admitted as a special favor. Officer running it returns after a brief absence to find the sergeant left in control of the program announcing the following item: “Our friends Fritz and ’Ans will now oblige with the ’Ymn of ’Ate.”
WISE RECRUIT
Officer (in volunteer camp, to recruit)—“Now, if a fire should break out, what are you to do?”
Recruit—“Run and find you, sir.”
Officer—“Right. And, if I’m not be found, what then?”
