11th hour, 11th Day, of the 11th month

War Day called Armistice Day

PEACE, n. In international affairs, a period of cheating between two periods of fighting.

---

O, what's the loud uproar assailing
Mine ears without cease?
'Tis the voice of the hopeful, all-hailing
The horrors of peace.

Ah, Peace Universal; they woo it—
Would marry it, too.
If only they knew how to do it
'Twere easy to do.

They're working by night and by day
On their problem, like moles.
Have mercy, O Heaven, I pray,
On their meddlesome souls!
—Ro Amil
