Some time ago my attention was called to the fact that one of the “spikes” of the Kaiser’s moustache had been clipped off, giving him a ludicrously woebegone appearance. I have always suspected the Colonials of that “cut,” and if I am wrong--well, I apologise. Perhaps the “spike” will be heard of some other day as a souvenir of the war. Feeling ran so high after the sinking of the _Lusitania_ that we readily yielded to the public demand, and evicted the Huns from the house. On the 16th of September, 1916, _John Bull_ had addressed to us the following open letter on the subject of the presence of the objectionable figures: To the Directors, Madame Tussaud & Sons, Ltd., Baker Street, W. GENTLEMEN, Being an admirer of your Moral Waxworks, I am sure you will excuse me if I indicate a blot upon your interesting and intellectual display. As a matter of fact, there are four blots. They occur in your Grand Hall, No. 4, and they take the form of effigies representing, with a fidelity almost lifelike, those malodorous monarchs the Sultan of Turkey, King Ferdinand of Bulgaria, the Emperor of Russia, and that arch-villain Kaiser Bill. Do, please, reshuffle the pack, gentlemen. Take the sinful quartette out of your Grand Hall, which they desecrate, and place them in that other room of yours which seems specially designed for their accommodation--the Chamber of Horrors. In the company of Burke and Hare, Charles Peace, Greenacre, and Wainwright, they will be quite at home. JOHN BULL. _John Bull_ on the 14th of November printed the following, containing my reply: BRAVO, TUSSAUD! PATRIOTIC ACTION OF THE GREAT EXHIBITION. We have received the following interesting letter from Mr. J. T. Tussaud: “As a regular reader of your valuable and most instructive paper, my attention was drawn to your letter, addressed to my company, which appeared in your issue of the 16th September. “In it you call attention to what you describe as a blot--or rather four blots--upon ‘our interesting and intellectual display,’ namely, the inclusion of the Sultan of Turkey, the King of Bulgaria, and the Emperors of Austria and Germany in our collection of celebrities and notorieties. Of course, such a letter from such an influential person could not pass unnoticed, and it was brought before my Board of Directors at the earliest opportunity.
