Excerpt from Fighters for Peace The days seemed made for delight in the splen did park Of the chateau, where one could ramble over the hillside, cooled by the spray of silver streams cascading down to the valley, or loiter and dream in the green and gold paradise among the friendly trees. Within doors, too, life was full Of charm. There were the great halls with pictures Of people, his own people - kings and princes about whom his mother told him wonder ful stories. But when he was still a little boy he learned to look upon the library where his father loved to spend his days as the best place of all. Here one could in a moment through the magic Of a book find wings for his Spirit and slip away to distant lands or far-away times where there were all sorts Of interesting people and things to think about.

Excerpt from Boys' Book of Frontier Fighters The Boys' Book of Indian Warriors told of the deeds by the red Americans in defense of their lives and to keep their homes. This second book tells of the deeds by the white Americans, in defense of their lives and also to clear the way for their homes. It commences with the pioneers and hunters in the East, and continues on to the frontiersmen and soldiers in the West. These are stories of bravery and of pluck amidst great odds. In many of the stories victory was won by the aid of powder, ball and steel, used manfully. In others it was won by sheer nerve and wit alone - for a good fighter fights with his heart and head as fully as with his hands. Americans have always been great fighters, when called upon to fight in self-defense. They never quit until they are killed or triumphant; and although many may be killed, those they leave press forward again. In France the Americans "never gave up an inch." We Americans of to-day, looking back, may be proud not only of the part played by our blood in the World War, but likewise of the part it played in the days when, rifle in hand, we were hewing the peace trail in our own country.

Excerpt from The Menace of a Premature Peace The Allies are fighting for a principle the mainte nance of which affects the future of civilization. If they do not achieve it they have sacrificed the flower of their youth and mortgaged their future for a century, and all for nothing. This is not a war in which the stake is territory or the sphere of influence of one nation over another. The Allies cannot concede peace until they conquer it. When they do so, it will be permanent. Otherwise they fail. There are wars like that between Japan. And Russia, in which President Roosevelt properly and successfully intervened to bring about a peace that helped the parties to a settlement. The principle at stake and the power and territory were of such a character that a settlement might be made substantially permanent. But the present issue is like that in our Civil War, which was whether the Union was to be preserved and the cancer of slavery was to be cut out. Peace proposals to President Lincoln were quite as numerous as those of to-day, and were moved by quite as high motives. But there was no compromise possi ble. Either slavery and disunion lost or won. So today the great moral object of the war must be achieved or defeated.

Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.
