Gentle breezes fanned the swayinj fields of grain; the world hummet with the pleasing sound of bees am birds and laughing ^girls. Marcas, the blacksmith of Louvain was a mighty man. This man, Mar cas, lived in faith and love and friend ship, and, by the sweat of his brow had won peace and prosperity. There was another man who livet in a palace in Berlin. lie was twic? a king, eighteen times a duke, twic< a prince, nine times a count?besides being a bishop?William of Hohen zollern, King of Prussia, Emperor ol Germany. The blacksmith of Louvain was s better man than the Hohenzollern The blacksmith owned but two suits of clothes, one for work and one foi the Sabbath. The Kaiser owned three hundred and sixty-six. Atigust 1st., 1914, and William ol Hohenzollern spoke the word that sel the world afire; came the crash, titanic, colossal?staggering. Joy died, hope fled, desolation became supreme. "Upon that day the world passed into twilight. The baneful autocracy of Prussia had spoken. An autocracy of hatt which for decades had been deceiving a great people, poisoning their minds preaching the virtue and necessity oi war; had applied the torch of Devastation. By a trick of circumstances the weal of mankind was placed for a moment in the hand of an arrant egoist, tyrant, madman?William ol Hohenzollem. The greatest crime ir all history was perpetrated that ONE man might find for HIMSELF a place in the sun. Blinded by the Gods, there flashed forth in the mind of this one man, a madness, a fatuity, a mania fatal malignant, satanic. From beyond the dim horizon begar the tireless thudding of guns. The rich fields, the peaceful form, the busy city became the barracks, the arsenal and the hospital. In two years twenty-two million men were killed, maimed, or made prisoners. Twenty-two million families mourned, but hunger and suffering do not lend themselves to the proess of arithmetic?blasted homes and stunted lives are not to be interrupted "by mathematics. Then came the master crime. Ar ^unoffending crime. An unoffending people was ground into extinction beneath an iron heel, a nation was destroyed, the crime against Belgium Completed to its fullest: t.hp Prnsainr stalked onward with his twin comrades, Friprhtfulness and Horror. A new blotch of inafmy?the Lusitanis ?was added to the Black name oi the Beast. There was another man who livet in a White House. The Chief anc Spokesman of a Great Nation that be lievcs all people were born Free anc: Equal with a rij^ht to Peace and Happiness. Then came the end. The dark cur tain which, like a shroud, and enveloped the earth, cleared away, and when the echo of the last cannon hac died upon the air, the silver-throatet bells of all the world rang forth th( plad tidinKS?
