The Best Day the World Ever Saw.


Karl Wgand described Sundays dispatches the long
suppressed grinding military stessne
man seacaptan who having for two ragged under his gov
ernments restraint its full power was boyhy happy

whch Germany now proposes to w the fight And said of this
stamping but repressed fighter Of the that for this
Who period OF PREPARATION and delay he had constantly drunk
oe TOAST namely Der Tag THE Day meaning the day the
German under sea boats should be released!
That one deeply and oyous feels is the the
dy chace OF American thought and feeling rank
serves to man behind our president and ounys flag
long delayed coming of the good will among the
warmaddened nations
The baekes hour the last before the coming bay
onettes of the morning light
When ice-locked and there has been for season no
song and in the graveike stM aching life fallen
numb and dead and unbeeving wakened from he

through the marye and reform within the past few
years What gone with the lottery 2? With racetrack rowdy

with the pistol play in the morning? with the bzen eer Of
the swinging saloon door and the Unreasonable burden of the Ii

Once mere duel had the power by ears
with Hamilton To halt state affairs, determine

with thumbs mouths helpless with
glory of the general bansto while the duel increased to fac

But look back what the rowd

minute to grin at the fellow making fool Of himself but in five
minutes by the watch the community organized just sufficiently
absorb such nfraon of its busy feorder with the
least noise and has the bully handcud and at the poe
station where possibly dozen fifty hangers hear the
issue solved and the durbe assigned quiet cell the

1t dull imagination and deep sleep indeed that
able to see today beyond these orgies Of war and waste the time
distant when the economy
enabled the foryeig states Of settle all
their disputes through whose DEGREES thor

Ito that this happy order of things shall be applied the af
fairs Of the family of nations.
And what day-Wth the liquor load lifted from human
shoulders with the crush oosed from human backs and with
ambush from the paths of human progress
what open for education for the Christian evangzaon of

will.
Does wonder that from eafless but lofty twg

knew

desired Day of the Son Of Man.
