PEACE.

Nothing is more untrue than the
statement that in the light Of this
European war the peace movement
has broken down. The peace senti-
ment was never so strong as at this
hour. This very outrage upon civil
ization has made men feel the need
Of peace and the brutality and saw
agery Of war as never before. No one
could have been quite sure that ev-
cry war lord in the world and ,ev-
cry nation had been converted to
the idea OF peace among men, but we
did know that among the peoples Of
the various governments. with scarce
" an exception, the desire for peace
had nightly grown during recent
years. The people have not chang
ed. They have brought on no war. II
they have been involved in a conflict
that threatens the very life Of their
nation they must fight in self-prester:-
walton, but all. this is consistent with
a keener realization than ever that
peace is as preferable to war as
heaven to hell.

MEETING OF IOWA PRESS AND

TheSmeeting Of the Iowa Press and!

The enthusiasm with which busy
men and women have responded to
the Invitation of the Iowa Press and

heart. 1t is generally pleasant to
feel that you belong some certain

or family or education or any mum

you there. 4, q,

There may frequently be a consid

a man to wander far, to 'deligh'

Where is the road to Already,
Where is the path that leads to peace,
Where shall l find the bliss to be, @
Where shall the weary wanderings cease?
These are the questions that come to me,
Where is the road to Already? #
Is there a mystic time and place go
To which some day shall the traveller fare,
Where there is never a frowning face, s &
And never a burden hard to bear, | &
Where we as children shall romp, and race?
Is there a mystic time and place?
For Already is an earthly sphere
Where only the gentlest breezes blow,
A port of rest for the weary here,
Where the velvet grass and the clover grow.
l question oft, is it far or near? .@@ .d &
For Already is an earthly sphere. tl &rt.
And the answer comes, tits very near, %
It's there at the END ola little street. -
Where your children's voices are ringing clear -
And you catch the patter Of little feet. T. "a
Where is the spot that is never drear? -
And the answer comes-iti Is very near.
For each man buildeth his Already, LID "
And each man fashions his port Of rest; -, sf
And never shall earth spot brighter be 81
Than the little home that with peace is blessed, -
So seek it not over the land and sea, s;
