'PHE OAKWOOD ORACLE We know there is a better way. War must not and shall not be. We demand that this medieval monster, this destructive demon, this cruel slayer of youth, this enemy of peace and progress, which has thrust itself forward into the twentieth century, shall be smitten to the death, never more to lift its gory head among the nations of the earth. . In the event of war, it is youth that is sacrificed, youth pays the price. and youth should deal the cards. - illtmlugbt Now comes the twilight hour Vanish the sounds of day, After the day, All the birds gone, And the red streaks of light Only a single note Slowly decay, Echoes along While night's soft voice to sleep Of some old mother bird's Calls us away. Lullaby song. Murmurs the flocks low bleat Up in the tender blue, Over the lea, Deep and afar, Where in the clover sweet Just as the harbour lamps Hushed is the bee, Gleam o'er the bar, As after surge and foam Shine th.e fair lights of heav'n Sleepeth the sea. Star after star. Sleepeth the wide world now Under the skies While 0'er each sleeper watch Sweet angel eyes: And when the night is gone Morn will arise.

THE OAKWOOD ORACLE ing itself to the end of time? We live in a new age, it is time for a change. Youth may be immature, untrained, impetuous. Youth may be unable to offer a perfect international solution. But we are convinced that what we need is not merely a group of nations, bound together by treaties, which admit war as even a last resort, but a world court, to which all international disputes may be submitted, with a definite under- standing that such disputes shall be settled by an appeal to reason and justice. Our boys in the great struggle of 1914-18, went forth to die in a war to end war. They died that we might live and that war might cease forever. Shall we break faith with those who sleep in Flanders' Fields '? Let me paint you a picture: Time: May, 1929. Place: Anywhere where the military spirit dominates. And the bands will play-and the citizens will cheer-and the mothers will beam-and the officials will swell with pride, as gallant youth fares forth in military parade. Over- head: The spotless blue of the sky. Beneath their feet: the emerald green of the grass. Everywhere, the beauty of spring. The world is at peace. Turn backward, O time in thy flight. Time: May, 1918. Place. The battlefields of France. No bands there-no cheering spectators- no beaming mothers-no intriguing diplomats. Overhead: the monoton- ous, unceasing, drizzle of rain. Underfoot: a soggy morass of mud. Everywhere, screaming, blinding, seering, hell. The world was at war. Somewhere funeral dirges were playing. Somewhere sweethearts wept bitterly. Somewhere mothers sobbed quietly. Somewhere behind the closed doors of safety, Militarism was counting the cost, and was shiver- ing a bit at the cold Frankenstein it had loosened on youth. They call these May-day parades grand military spectacles. We call them mockery. We call them Hypocrisy. We call them ignorance. We call them crime. Mockery, because they keep alive the military spirit. and mock the lives of our boys who died that war might cease. Hypoc- risy, because they tell us that the power to kill is the right to kill. Ignor- ance, because they are blind to a better way. Crime, because they teach us that history repeats itself, that human nature cannot be changed. that individuals, and races, and nations, must forever beat each other's brains out, on the gory anvil of Mars. Militarism told the youth of 1914, that patriotism, virtue, and hon- our, were calling them to destroy the youth of other nations. Militarism told youth that this was a holy war-a war to make the world safe for democracy. Youth went out and bathed its soul in blood. It came back and laid its booty on the green peace-tables of Versailles, and men and women the world over declared there must never be another war. But the war demon has again crept from its hiding place, and is telling the youth of to-day that we must prepare for the next war, that we must learn how to bombard and destroy the enemy cities, that we must learn to pour shell-fire and poisonous gas into the homes of terror- stricken women and innocent children. All this in the name of liberty, democracy, civilization,-because the1'e is not a better way. Must we go through it all again? VVill the world never learn? Shall the war spirit continue to dominate our governments, our homes, and our institutions? Are truth, beauty, and wisdom to be sold for a mess of pottage? Page Tlzirfy FlI'l'f'
