PLACARD WARFARE GOT
THE GOAT OF BOCHES
With the American Army In
France.—It was a quiet week
on one of our Lorraine sectors,
where America** and German
trenches run close together. The
sun came up one morning on a
huge placard hoisted from the
German front line and bearing
this In English:
"Welcome, Yankees, of the
Blnnkety-Blank division. Did you
bring coffins with you?"
A couple of hours later this
sign, in German went up on our
front line:
"No, but we brought a lot of
Hell."
The next morning the Ger
mans opened with this one:
"Yankees, spend the day In
prayer. We kill you tonight."
And this was the answer from
our trenches:
"Germans, give your hearts
and souls to Jesus, because
we've got your goats."
Something about this sign an
gered the Boches. They riddled
it with rifle bullets and thereup
on the placard warfare was off.
