The third item here appears to have been a response to J.K. McDougall, whose poem 'Things of the Devil' was published in the previous week's issue. From the comments here, the censor evidently objected to the final line of stanza 5, which in the original appears to have been 'Yet to kill for a king is to kill for the devil'. For the poem to pass for publication, the Labor Call editor was obliged to substitute the word 'kaiser' for 'king', which significantly alters the nuance of meaning and tames the work's anti-war sentiment.
