Ballad for Peace Day.

1ale ReNleW.I
Today Peace came on radiant feet
And blew her trumpet in the Square
THE war is over"-news Is fleet,
And soon through every thoroughfare
Passed Youth and Joy, A radiant pair,
Arms linked and bright heads crowned
with bays.
Yet while there's laughter everywhere
Some must go softly all their days.
There are no strangers; kind hearts
beat l.
In unison; the JOY they share
Makes all akin. We smile and great
Like happy neighbors at a. fair.
Flags float above us. Here and thar
The church bells chime their solsnnn
praise.
There seems no room for grief or c,r.
Must some go softly ali their davs,
The young once more may md LIE
sweet:
They need not dread dull.eyed pe.-
pair.
With fearless hearts shall loyerH me.,
Together climb the rainbow stair
To some dream castle In tho air.
The fire or hope may leap and blazs
But for the sorrows past repair
Some must so softly all their 6Avs
ENVOY.
. broken hearts you needs must bsar
The cost OF this new world WA raish
May God console YOU, Is our prayer.
WHO must go softly all yonr dsyr.

Facing the Big Fact

y EPUBL1CAN leaders in both branches of
y congress have given fun and frank no
tlce or their determination to pllory the
war Department, to show how futile il was
IN its conduct OF the war, how it blundered
olsastrously through the whole program, and
now 1t should be discredted before the eyes
OF all patriotic Americans This is like an
attorney at the bar telling the Jury what he
expects to prove against the arrested prisoner.
In Its mad search for facts and fanctes
"hlch Will destroy popular confidence In the
administration OF the army, the official in
vestisators of Congress will find many minor
circumstances upon which they may seize.
They will find that certain small arms were
discarded after they had been contracted for
Ihey VIII find that certain clothing con-
tained "shoddy." They will find certain Of
hcers who were caught functioning in the
wrong direction. They will find dissatisfied
men who have returned from abroad pre
pared to air their individual grievances.
They will find lots OF other petty instances of
disorder and distemper.
But neither the Republican prober of to-
Day nor the impartial historian of tomorrow
VIII be able to minimize the colossal achieve
ments OF the War Department and NJ tho
American army. They will not dim the glory
or the heroic work which was Accomplished
oy TINS peace-loving and eace-pursuing ma
tlon' once 1t took up arms. No amount of
investigating can obscure the imperishable
record OF the past two years or convince the
American people that It's war administration
was rallure or its army was a grossly mis-
managed organization.
Within those two years, millions OF men
were taken straight from civil life, trained
as officers and as privates; sent into vast en-
campments to be disciplined and euuipped /:
transported overseas; supplied and muni-
toned from base 5000 miles away; put
into battle alongside the veteran CORPS Of
the British and the French, and contributed
magnihcently to decisive victory over the
greatest military power the world ever saw.
frattle and prate as they will, probe and
play politics as much as they please the Re-
publican leaders never will be able to give
the lie TO single one OF these statements
they never will be able to make any honest
american believe that fatuous War Denart
ment or maladministered army was able to
do these things.
