THE END OF WAR.
When the schemes and all the svstcms, Kingdoms and Republics fail, Something kindlier, higher, holier—all for each and each for all? All the full-brain, half-brain races, led by Justice, Love and Truth; All the million's one at length, with all the visions of my youth P All diseases quenched by Science, no man halt, or deaf or blind; Stronger over born -of weaker, lustier body, larger mind? Earth at last a warless world, a singlo race, a single tongue, I have seen her far away, for is not Earth as yet so young? Every tiger madness muzzled, every passion kill'd, " Every grim ravin** a garden; every blazing desert till'd, Robed in universal harvest, up to either pole she rrniiles. Universal ocean, softly washing all her warless isles. Warless? When her tens are thou sands, and her thousands millions, then— All her harvest all too narrow-~who can fancy warless men? Warless? War will die out late- then. Will it ever, late or soon? Can it till this outworn. earth be dead as yon dead world, the moon? Tennyson.
