"It says here," he explained, "that it is Germany who will speak the last word in this war."
Then the novelist laughed angrily and added:

A REVISED CLASSIC—THE SLEEPING BEAUTY
When the Prince entered the enchanted castle he noticed about it an air of unusual quiet, as if there were a meeting of the American Peace Society.
"Everybody is asleep," he muttered. "There isn't a single defense gun mounted on a parapet. I don't believe there is a rifle on the premises. No ammunition, either."
Walking rapidly upstairs, he saw a couple of servants lying prone.
"This reminds me of the time I lived in the suburbs," he continued.
Entering one of the sleeping-rooms, he discovered the celebrated beauty, sound asleep, in the four-poster.
"This must be a frame-up," he observed. "I see it all. If I wake her up,
I shall have to marry her."
