World Peace Flag
The Universal Peace Congress developed a flag of "the earth on a blue field covered with white stars" to be used as a peace flag.
James William van Kirk, a minister from Youngstown (Ohio, USA), designed this peace flag with rainbow stripes, stars and the globe. He made in 1913 and 1929 with this flag a peace tour through Europe.

Make plain to them the excellence of killing
And a field where a thousand corpses lie.”
