Synopsis

Excerpt from The War of 1914 From an American, Point of View: An Address Delivered Before the First Unitarian, Society, Milton, Nov 17

WE daily peruse with feverish interest the most recent news from the greatest war that has ever deci mated the human race: one in which millions of men are engaged on each side, and beside which all previ ous great struggles for supremacy seem like phantom shades. I have seen the smallest children, hardly large enough to be sent on errands, diligently spelling out the headlines as they hurried home with their little bur den, almost oblivious oi the passing traffic. I have also noted the impatient openings of the metropolitan sheets by elderly hands, too frail to hold them securely in their grasp.

On one side we have arrayed Germany and Austria, and on the other, Russia, France, England, Belgium, Servia and Japan.
