Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Let Us Have Peace, and Other Addresses The addresses in this volume which discuss war and peace and what seems to me to be an adequate post-bellum program, are printed substantially in the order of delivery. This order is followed not because it shows my reaction to the war in its various phases, but because it may show the reaction of the average American citizen to the facts as they developed both before and after we entered the great struggle in Europe. We traveled far between August 1, 1914, and April 6, 1917. To give up our long settled habits of life and thought, to abandon our belief that wars, for us at least, were a part of a barbarous past and not to be repeated, was spiritually and mentally the largest task we had ever undertaken. Then to take up the affirmative side: to disrupt all the normal relations of life, to call all our youth and young manhood to the colors, to send them three thousand miles overseas, - involved changes that were revolutionary. The mind that finally found expression at Chateau Thierry and in the Argonne represented a people separated by an almost unbelievable distance from the same people on August 1, 1914. How small the world! How interlocked its peoples! Little we knew and less we cared about Sarejevo in 1914; but a pistol shot fired there in June of that year lighted a mine which has well nigh blown civilization into unrelated bits.
