Excerpt from Through War to Peace: A Study of the Great War as an Incident in the Evolution of Society

There is a growing sentiment in this country that what Germany has come to stand for is utterly irreconcilable with all those acquisitions of human society freedom, democracy, hu manity, Christianity which we most prize; that it represents a grave menace to them all. This sentiment, with its attendant foreboding, I believe to be substantially correct, so that it will bear examination in the light of reason and science. I think it can be shown that the Ger man code of international behavior constitutes a direct and grave challenge to the essentials of civilization; that it is a reversion toward an earlier and cruder phase of societal development; and that it must be extirpated if civilization is to go forward on its course.
