WHEN THE WAR SHALL BE OVER,

WHEN THE WAR SHALL BE OVER
the breasts of the rulers of those countries there
spoken fear of what will come then
When those who remain make lists of their dead those
manned that they will be perpetual tax upon the strong
while their broken frames las the debts which they are
mortgaged to pay interest all their lives what will the
ming the unspeakabe wrongs which have those
people be?
One would think that evange would spring up every
land to paint the picture of those wrongs and to demand
deal
deal in which never more could kings obsseed by love
of power of conquest of ueaed loot and lands of glory
reekng with bood of fame red with blood and Swallowed by
broken hearts; would be squelched forever
What year did the peasant in his shed by the Don hold
enmity against the peasant in his shed by the Danube?
What enmity did the Frenchmn with his little
vineyard the Loire the Italian the Pc hold against the
German peasant with his and goats on the Ebe9
What there in all the contentious that distracted the
rulers of Europe that commission of business could
have settled justly year ago'
Is it not true that justice not what sought?
And was the mpeng cause behind ALL the belief that
desired could be through possessing and
effective of killing the simple dupes who do the fighting
and dying than the other side possessed?
That game old the world It started in the stone
and the principle then invoked that might made right
Has that been changed with the rolling centuries? Have
increased learning and enlightenment done aught except to
teach the of scientific new and more
midable engines of destruction.
Has Christianity done aught except to give zealots
for wholesale murder that the domains of Prince
Peace might be entangled?
We hope has, hope that when this finally closed
it will inspire evanges in every land cry out for change
the ancient policy of barbarsm and to demand
that reign of justice shall be ushered in That under the
adjustment if thrones remain those who sit upon them shall
like the humbest peasant be forced obey the dispense
ton; they and their counselors.
When that time hope that our country will come
the fore in demanding and potential way that when
the code shall be framed and accepted the nations
who have long waited feel assured that the reign
on earth may be looked forward to with hope of fulment
