THE DAWN OF A

II Is to be doubted II in all the his.
tory of the world a message was ever
flashed on the wings of lightning or
by the slower methods of communica.
ton, Of greater import, or that was
hailed with more universal joy and
thanksgiving. than the peace mess.
ages that we're flashed around the
world today. The whole civilized
world is sick of soul and weary at
heart because Of the great war, tho
tragedy of the age. that has desolated
Europe and carried its messages OF
sorrow, its blighting shadow into
every civilized land under the shin
ing sun. Now that there Is a rift In
the clouds, that the dawning Of peace
can be seen In the distance. the whole
world rejoices. Let us hope the end
is near. Let us pray the time is near
when the swords sail be beaten into
ploughshares, and the spears into
pruning hooks"
