then, was not dead. There hands to soothe and
labor as we'll as hands kill. There still brother
ly love in the world. There courage that
not of hate. There patience that was not lying
in wait. There flag that not of one nation,
but of all the world; flag that needed recruiting
station, for the ranks it led always full to
flowing; flag that stood between the wounded soldier
and death that knew defeat but surrender to the
will of the God of Battles.
"And that flag followed To the front, to the

ports of Austrian riots etc., too seriously; because

there has been tendency to look for victory IN the
war through some inscrutable act of Providence
maybe through the death of the Kaiser, maybe thru
a complete failure of German corps maybe through
pestlence in the Central Empires. But the only sure
