stringent Legislation to protect sheep

self-assertion. A nation that has at
tanned a leadership like that of the
United States should see always the
necessity for careful, well-digested
policies and action. The grand hurrah

proval. Hysteria runs its course and
stops a long way short of the winning
post. May there be less OF it in the
new year.

THE GOD oE PEACE.

WV Vt YEASGs
Fleet pinioned as the gale he rides!
The man-bird wheels his easy
flight;
New monarch of the new age. guides
The eager millions into light.
Long waiting world hear thou his cry:
Put battleship and rifle BY"
Builders of Dreadnoughts, useless
now;
Armed ranks that wait the nod to
slay:
List yc to call of loom and pillow.
The Aeroplane is King today.
Long-suffering world hear thou his
cry:
Lay uniform and bugle by!"
No more shall patent shell and mine
Our tax-born navies split and

Nor trumpets spur the charging line
The God of Peace has writ it so;
War-weary world hear thou his cry:
"Put hate and all her furies by"
The man-bird sweeps the conquered

To horror turns the lust to Stay;
The nations set their quarrels by,
Peace makes the heroes of today;
Hear thou the happy millions pray:
How blind we were but yesterday"
