The End
BY BEATRICE GoLDIE.

Somewhere in France" the papers
say.
Men are fighting night and day,
Dying there in the gloom Of night,
Giving their lives for God and the
Right;
Led by the hand Of Justice they went
To defend the cause of the innocent.
To crush the tyrart on land and seas,
And give to the world a lasting
Peace.
Somewhere at home, many miles
away,
Women are weeping night and day, :,
Weeping with hearts that sting and
ache
Beneath their burden, but do not
break;
Dark are their lives as the robes
they wear.
For loved ones who perished "over
Gods gift to woman through an the
years
OF grief and courage is but her tears.
Sopewhere in Hen there Is a place
waiting and waiting night and day,
For those who plunged the human
race
Into this cruel and bloody fray;
Who sought to drag all nations down,
To crafty a degenerate crown,
And Satans mission will be complete
When he sees them writhing at his
feet
