SUNDAY MORNING, COAST OF NORWAY. (_By Our Yotting Artist._)] * * * * * JOHNNY, MAKE ROOM FOR DELONCLE! (_NEW NORTH AFRICAN VERSION OF AN OLD SONG._) "M. DELONCLE, in his conversation with a Belgian reporter, puts in a claim for practically the whole of the northern half of Africa, with the possible exception of Egypt."--_The Times_. AIR--"_Tommy, make room for your Uncle_." _Deputy_ DELONCLE (_addressing_ JOHNNY BULL) _sings_:-- Nothing but deserts now left for France! Hang it! That _will_ not do! Therefore DELONCLE her claims must advance, Mighty they are, nor few. Right from Oubanghi unto Lake Tchad, Through Wadai and Ba-gir-mi! JOHNNY, my lad, I shall be glad If you'll make room for ME! _Chorus_. JOHNNY, make room for DELONCLE, There's a little dear! JOHNNY, make room for DELONCLE, He wants to stay here. He needs the whole of North Africa! (The rest he may leave to you), Do not annoy, there's a good boy! Make room for DELONCLE, do! To So-ko-to and the Gan-do, Your claims you must resign. If France goes far from Zanzibar, _I_'ll draw a new boundary line.
