IT'S strange that war with all Il,

It's gruesome grip on all the world
Where frightful shafts of death are
hurled.
Yet so II is when reasoning power
Is lost In FASHIONS fatal hour.
Unworthy Of this age of light
Are mighty armicp train to fight
And hostile navies cent afar
To pull the gates Of peace ajar
A nobler works before them now
To WELD the harrow, spade and plow
To make the mills and factories hum
TIL liveley times TO all shall come.
That peace and plenty may abound
And proper ways and means be found
To give the soldier lads employ
And I'LL their gallant hearts with Joy,
Instead Of seeing them 90 forth
To pillow the fields OF Mother Earth.
With shreiking shells and pondrous
guns
Like those that quelled the treacher-
GUS Huns.
Such slaughter now is out OF date
When men must yield to brutal fate,
And leave their wives and children
dear
Convulsed with terror; gIief and fear,
And hear them sigh and weep and
mourn
For loved ones who may ne'er return.

A grand and glorious mission filled
In that II partly paved the way
