More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
KEEPING THE HOALE FIRES
NRTTRNTNC

BURNING
Europe is plunged in a placid serenity
Little is heard there of war,
Nation treats nation with kindly
amenity
fore.
Diplomats write to each other po-
litely-
With never a mention of force,
Over all Europe the suns shining
brightly
Except in the Balkans, of course.
Rulers no longer are rude and i'm
perious
They would like to forgive and for
get,
Some of the countries are even quite
serious
On the subject of settling their debt.
No longer each other they term wild
barbarians,
They're behaving like peaceab1e
y men
Excepting of course that today the
Bulgarians
Are after Roumanians again.
There is nothing in Turkey to fright
or disquiet us,
She is schooled in the methods of
peace,
OF late there's been nothing especially
riotous
In the conduct of dear little Greece.
Mr.. Krim has been quelled to an abject
timidity,
And is out of the war making game,
There is nothing to break the great
zone of placidity,
Though the Balkans of course are
aflame.
Rumors of war have become a great
rarity
Russia has grown rather mild,
Poland no longer behaves with te-
merity
And is sorry she once was so wild.
Peace even has come to the warlike
:, Albanians, 81
1t has spread to the south of the.
Alps,
But we just heard today that the
angry Roumanians
Were collecting Bulgarian scalps.
