THE END REMOTE.
Although ten long months have
written their history on the infinite
scroll of time, the conclusion of that
mighty human holocaust across the
wide reaches of the Atlantic seems no
nearer conclusion than on that event
ful August day when the shrill tocsin
of war rang its dread reverberations
over a peaceful and unsuspecting
world. Aye. It may lie truly said that
though many days have passed. Time's
diminishing perspective reveals no
sign of when the end may come and,
indeed, the end seems even farther in'
the future than at the beginning.
When Germany first flung her bold de
fiance to the gathering cohorts of the
allies, feyv indeed, had the termit.v to
suggest that the period could be pro
longed more than a few months, in
deed it was believed that the very
size of the huge armies gathering for
the fray was the surest indication that
the titan struggle could not long en
dure. That all previous ideas of the
power of marshalled hosts and mighty
engines were wrong, time has truly
proved for today, even as in those
days ten months agone, the war torch
still flings its lurid light over the
weltering swirl of conflict, the earthstill
trembles to the thundering guns, the
tramp of marching millions and death
and desolation still stalk hand in hand
over the torn and blighted lands. And
the end; who can say- when it shall
come? Months, perhaps, perhaps
years, will pass before the ineffable
blessing of peace will once more re
turn, not to atone, but to offer partial
compensation for the woes that war
has wrought. Nought can repay the
bloody sacrifice, 'Ms true. No hope of
gain, even though it be realized in the
fullest sense, can adequately reward
the waning nations for all that lhey
have lost or shall lose before the dead
ly game is done and someone, bleeding
and exhausted, shall raise a gore
stained hand and cry, “Enough!” Until
that dim and, as yet. undiseerned day
shall rise to gladden the soul of weep
ing millions, the grim game will go on
in all its deadly fury . shock will follow
shock, as the armed legions rush to- i
gether, rank on rank, amid the hurtl,ng
shot and screaming shell; rank l>y rank
the pitful sacrifices will offer up their
all upon the sodden battlefields or re
turn broken and twisted to a life of
hideous regrets. On the blackened
fields of France, once so fair with wav
ing grain or tendrlled vine, the sons of
Albion and Gaul will breast the threat
ening German tide and gladly give
their lives thnt the land they love may
live. («n the spreading Polish plains
and amid the rook bound hills and
valleys of Galicia, the surging wave of
war will sweep like some madly writh
ing thing while flerv Hun and stolid
Kush will struggle till the chilling
hnnd of death shall clutch full many
a thousand by the throat and whisper
“Pence! Re still!" And. while Frank
nnd Rrlton. Teuton. Slav and Hun
grapple in the dread embrace of war.
on mnnv a crimsoned battlefield, at
home (hut hallowed place, where hap
piness a nd pence alone should reign, pale
and tear-stained women will wait with
beating hearts and trembling souls for
the weal or woe eneh day may bring:
tiny little ones, manlv lads and dainty
lasses In the first bright flush of youth,
will hush their volees and forget their
childish games, filled with an Incom
prehensible horror of thnt awful thing
that calls for such Inhuman sacrifice, j
that tears away from clinging arms

brother and gives in return, at best.

crushing weight of woe will linger on l
