Mr.. EDIToR.-In answer to the sum
mon by Babbler, / sally forth, clad in all
the armor OF peace.
Isn't il strange that humanity is so
frail that 1t will summon "Ghost" from
its lovely habitation, for no other pur-
pose than TO command peace?
81 am for peace, but they are for wal"
War and love are strange eomPeers,
War sheds blood and love sheds tears,
War has spears and love has darts,
War breaks heads and love breaks hearts.
BY all means "Dear Brothers" and
"Dear Sisters" do not abuse the sanctity
OF your profession by going TO war or
court.
Now, "Ghosts," like womenl when de-
priyed Of the power Of speech, seize a
pen, and so / take this method of COM
handing peace.
My name is neither Bah. Trunk or
Babbler, but for reasons best known TO
myself sign my best name.
Very Respectfully,
