Excerpt from War Versus Peace: A Short Treatise on War: Its Causes, Horrors, and Cost; And Peace; Its History and Means of Advancement

In the earliest' history of man the fight was individual against individual; next it was family against family; then tribe against tribe; and now it is nation against nation; and if the warlike spirit of today is not brought to a halt, it Will soon be - yes, already is - upon us - the war of race against race; and as the numbers who engage in the conflict in crease, so the vice and crime, the malice and hatred, grow in proportion. Dueling has almost ceased family quarrels are becoming less frequent; and today man is demanding that the gigantic duel of nation against nation be brought to a close. But so long as men are not more rational beings than now, disputes which lead to war are liable to spring up.
