Note: The newspaper article that this story satirizes actually was published in 1914. "The Toys of Peace" appeared in a newspaper not long after (details unknown), and was first collected in 1919.
Marginally science-fictional in its depiction of a project to change society.
Synopsis: Eleanor, inspired by a newspaper article by an anti-war group, insists that her boys be given peaceful toys. But their ingenuity immediately finds ways to use the toys in war games.
