FoR TIE REQ CROSS.

We send a million rifles.
And, oh, they find their slain!
Shall we not show world aglow
That Christ Is more than Cain
And Mercy's hand still stiles
The soldiers cry of pain?
We make the cannon shipment,
New field Of fire to ope.
We speed the flame. the swords that
| MAIN.
The shells that SOW the slope.
Why not the white equipment
That bears the Cross of Hope?
In all our ammunition
| There lie the groan and curse.
But now shall go, since God wills so,
| The ambulance, not hearse;
The succoring physician,
The gentle fingered nurse.
Your share of cost of slaughter
You as a patriot give.
You're paying high that men may die
| And love be fugitive.
| Come, send across the water
The ones who bid men live!
