WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 Twenty six nations of the new and old worlds have formally pledged themselves, the White House announced today, to employ their full resources against the axis powers, and to enter into no separate armistice or peace.

Twas the Day After Twas the day after New Years and all through the place Not a boss could be seen with a smile on his face. Stenographers, book keepers happily chattered Of ice skates and ski boots and such things that mattered, Except when the chief clerk came prowling around And then at their work they were instantly found, For one look at his face made the spirits of all To 10 below zero immediately fall. With its feet on the desk and a book in its lap Had the legal department prepared for its nap, When out in the hall there arose such a clatter It sprang to its feet to see what was the matter. Twas the purchasing agent, his language was torrid, In fact, some stenographers thought it was horrid. He shouted and boomed he was sick of abuse, And hed go find a place where his brains were some use. Then the mill superintendent joined in with his woes, And shouted that some one had stepped on his toes. And they cursed and they raved and they let themselves go Till they really had worked up a pretty fair show. But sudden the big boss came out of his room Enveloped in storm clouds and knee deep in gloom. And he looked glumly through them and went on his way, Whereupon they decided theyd no more to say. And the legal department returned to its nook, And industriously buried its nose in its book. And the day after New Years throughout the whole place No boss could be seen with a smile on his face.
