Excerpt from The Radiant, Vol. 8: March, 1916 TO reveal to you the necessity of a newer patriotism which is essential to the achievement of universal peace, you need only pause and behold the terrible European conflict raging in this glorious twentieth century. N 0 longer do we hear the hum of the wheel Of progress. NO more do we see the weary plowman driving the fat herds from moor and fen, but in yon distance we hear the dying echoes of the country's call, The cry to arms, and then we see the soldiers gayly ride away together glory in the mighty conflict, dreaming of laurels to be won when the war is over.
