PEACE
By ]. n. Smither

Icy u, uAs oHhtiiSh
When war has done its worst,
When hell has been unloosed,
When in the nav Of desolation,
Nations prone and bleeding,
Better judgment needing,
Hail the hour Of conservation,
When peace invites q truce,
Great joy is then let loose.
For better or for worse,
For blessing or for curse,
For detriment or reconstruction,
War is borne upon US,
Despite the good that's in uS,
As 'twere foreoidination,
And then we wish 'twould cease
For the return Of peace.
Peace oh! blessed peace,
Nigh, bring nigh, release.
Thy boon and exultation,
Heal our wounds and bleeding,
Former times exceeding,
Danish desccratiOn;
Glorify the earth
In thy highest worth.

PEACE WITH VICTORY

By J. N. 'Smither
America has spoken, ...
In no uncertain terms,
"But victory can warrant lasting
peace"
The mailed grip shall be broken,
And autocratic germs
Shall be exterminated, and shall cease.
Nor shall the filching bOche,
Debauch the victor's palm,
By willy ruse his vile wits can devise,
He'll take his bitter trokee,
His quaking soul to calm,
AS Foch prescribes in battle thunder
wise.
He's turned his path of roses,
To one Of piercing thorns,
Humanity he rudely flung aside,
In frightful mein he poses,
The devil-beast with horns,
But Democratic men have quelled his
pride.
Now let him take whats coming,
And give him interest,
No other way can he be made a man.
He hears the Allies marching,
Nor longer can resist,
For they have sworn to get the bOche
clan.
To Victory! ye mobiles,
Defeat the boche clan,
By stern demeanor bring him. to his
knees,
To Victory, ye mobiles
Convert him to a man,
The fit Of earth and heaven high to
please.
