THINGS TO COME.
There are murmurs on the deep,
There are thunders On the heaven,
Tho the ocean pillows sleep,
Tho no cloud the sign has gwen
Earth that sudden storm shall feel,
,T;s storm of man and steel.
Tribes are in the forest now,
idly hunting ounce and deer;
Tribes are creuching in their snow
DER their wild and wintrv cheer,
Doom d to swell that tempest's roar,
Where the torrent-rainis gore.
War ofold has swept the world,
Guilt has shaken strength and Prioe'
But the thlhders, feebly hurl d,
Quiver'd DER the spot and died;
When the vengeance next shall tall,
Woe to each, and woeto all.
Man has shed mans blood for toys,
Love and hatred, fame and gold;
Now mightier wrath destroys;
Earth in cureless crime grows old;
Pastdestruction shall DE tame
To the rushing OF that flame.
When the clouds of vengeance break,
Folly shall be on the wise,
Frenzy shall be on the weak,
Nation against nation rise
And the worse than Pagan sword
In religions breast be gored.
Chen the Martyrs solemn cry,
That a thousand years has rung,
Where their robes OF crimson lie
Round ssthe Golden Altar" flung,
Shall be heard-and from the 'throne, "
The trumpet ofthe "Judgment'' blown.
ssWoe to Earth, the mighty woe"
Yet shall Earth her conscience lulu,
Till above the brim shall flow
The draught of gall-the cup IS full.
Yet moment comes the me-
Famine, bloodshed, food and fire.
First shall fall Mighty One,
Ancient crime had crown'd his brow,
Dark Ambition rais'd his throne
Truth his victim and his foe.
Earth shall Joy in all her fear
Ger the great Idolater.
Then shall rush abroad the blaze
Sweeping Heather zone by zone;
Aires tribes the spear shall raise,
Shivering lndia's pagod throne:
China hear her Idols knell
in the Russians cannon peal.
On the Turk shall fall the blow
From the Grecian's dagger'd HAND
Blood like winter-showers shall How,
Fill be treads the Syrian land!
Then shall final vengeance shine,
And all be seal'd in Palestine.

for 1922 arranged under the various heads of expen
ditures according to the present and former orgam-
cation OF the Department Of War" The military
disbursements for the years 1916 aud 1917, eX-
planned by the letter from the Second Auditor, ac
companylng this report, are so blended with the az
rcarages of prior years. pay and subsistence OF the
militia and claims of certain states and Individuals
arising out OF the late war, as 10 preclude the posi-
biiiiy of asceItainng the expenses Of the army for
those years. and so TO put it out of my power 10
embrace them IN the comparative view called Tor ;
though IL is believed, if il could be embraced III the
comparison, the result woHd not vary materially from
that founded on the expenditure of the year 1913,
IN which year separation was made for the first
time between the current expenses OF the army and
the arTearage5 growing out of the expenditures OF
the late
Table A. accompanying this report, is the statement
of the Second Auditor, and exhibits view Of the
expenditures Of the army proper, including The mill
taiy academy from the year 1918 TO 1921, inclusive
from which il appears HAT the expenditures after de-
Quoting for the increased expense account Of the
Seminole war, IN l88 were, respectively for those
years, s 500, 495 "a, s 3574,75i 95, 5 2Si6,4I4

1922, including the balances of such Of the appro-
prations Of the last year are requ ed for the
vice Of this, amount to & 800 ,l24 30.
Table is an abstract of the general returns Of the
army for the years 1915, 1872 1920, and 1921 show
ing the number Of officers and enlisted men, report
ed by the last received at the Aduant Gene
ral's Office together with the academic staff and militia
~ school at Wes Point, TO which is added the number
f,l fail ty
iztiioB, for the year 1922. From the exhibit in the
table, appears that the average strength Of the
my, including officers and cadets for the year 1875
was 8, 1919 for 1919, G,42G for 1920, 9,693 for
1921, 3l09 and that, from the organization of the
present military establishments IL the rank and file
kept full, the strength, for 1922, viii amount TO

IL also appears, from the table, that the com
hiissioned officers we're, in proportion TO the cadets
and rank aud file Of the army, in service, for those
years, thus
