Scene from THE
"KAISER'S FINISH"
BOBBY BUSCH'S BLOOD BOILED
When yon' -Strtnnpf unfolded his biff
scheme.- Although Bobby had German
blood in his veins he counted himself as
pood an American as any man in New
York.
Bobby also had brains-that's why he
didn't immediately bounce his clenched
fist off von Strumpf's jaw as the latter
outlined his plans for sending Bobby on a
secret mission to Berlin-and Bobby's re-
ward was to be much money and perhaps
even an Iron Cross.
"And you needn't come back to Amer-
ica" von Strumpf told Bobby.
So Bobby kept his own counsel-ami
Bobby didn't enlist in the American army
(much to his sweetheart's disgust) but he
pot to Berlin just the same.
He beat our army to the Kaiser by a
nose and what do you think he did?
You'll cheer yourself hoarse when you
