The soldier Is an important factor
n a nation , and will so continue to
ie for a lonj time to come. If the
white dove of peace spread its wings
over all nations' ' if there weie univer
sal agreement to disarmament. If nil
swords were la'aten Into plow shares
nnd spoais into pruning hooks ; if blue
ilrds were building their nestfl and
singing their sweet songs In the
nouth.s of all cannon guns , then we
.night call our war dogs from the high

Iriendlj soil , turn every man to the
peaceful arts of industry , and learn
i\ar no more , nut , as things now go
ive shall need to prepaie moio great
Imttleships and munitions of war ,
