Excerpt from The War From This Side, Vol. 2: Editorials From the North American Philadelphia, February, 1915 July, 1916
American condemnation. France was chilled by our official aloofness. And England, although gratified by evidences of moral sympathy, has not failed to admonish us that our attitude would have been more worthy of a great nation if it had been the same as her own.
The reason is obvious: Nations at war are naturally in an abnormal state of mind. Fighting for their very lives, neutrality becomes to them inconceivable; moral sympathy only exasperates them, and, as an eminent German has remarked, foreigner means enemy. We have already quoted many influential persons and news papers to the effect that American mediation is impos sible. Some further expressions will be enlightening as to European opinion of this country. Let us take Ger many first. Ten days ago the Cologne Gazette said it was boiling with rage at England's despicable conduct, and added: Some neutral countries, too, including the United States, have forgotten what fair play means. A week later it remarked that American neutrality is only a thin curtain, behind which zealous, loving service to England conceals itself.
