When the last of the soldiers has fallen, and the cannons lie twisted
aside,
When the last of all homes has been ruined, and the heart of the
youngest girl bride,
We shall wake from our terrible madness, and pause for an eon or two,
Till the Master of all the good soldiers shall call us to battle anew.

Then those that were brave shall be braver--they shall love with a
love more fair;
They shall hear, o'er a worldwide battlefield, the Voice of their God
in the air;
They shall have the real saints for their comrades--Magdalene, Peter,
and Paul;
They shall fight unembittered, and never again shall be weary at all.

And only the Master shall praise us, for only the Master shall lead;
And no one shall fight for his country, and none for his honor or
creed;
But each for the Master Who loves him, and Teuton and Briton and all
Shall fight, each the cause of the other, for the God of the Love of
us All!

movement for peace. He stated that this Government had
supported everything of the sort as far as it could
legitimately. It had done everything that was for peace and
accommodation, he added. But the great drawback has been
that none of the warring Governments has directly, that is
officially, indicated that it would respond sympathetically
to any suggestion that it become a party to a movement to
end the war. The idea of a league of neutral nations, having
for its object a concerted effort to bring about peace, is
reported to be in the back of the President's mind, and
members of the Cabinet have given some thought to the
suggestion, which might contemplate the firm maintenance of
neutral rights if peace could not be obtained, but the
situation has not developed to a point where the American
Government is re
