Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 270, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 November 1914 — Menace. [ARTICLE]

Menace.

The Akooned of Swat had 20,000 men. He marched them *up a hill one day, and that done he marched them down again. The great powers were not asleep. “If this isn’t mobilization, what is it?"' they demanded tenthly. The Akooned of Swat hastened to point out that when his men were up they were up, that when they were down they were down, and, finally, that when they were only halfway up they were neither up nor down. “No temporizing!" thundered the great Powers and forthwith fell upon one another with the utmost ferocity. For while the great Powers wee# Christian, Swat was a heathen nation, and so a constant menace to the peace of the world.—New York Evening Post
