Excerpt from The Judgment of the Orient: Some Reflections on the Great War Made By, the Chinese Student and Traveller, K'ung Yuan

Contemplative. But all change is not progress, and the restless West is now at war. What does that signify if not that the theory and practice of Western civilization have broken down and that progressive Europe has reverted to the conditions of a primitive and savage era? The only feature which pleases in the cataclysm is that every Western nation recognizes equally that a monstrous crime has been committed. It matters not that they agree on little else and that each belligerent group is desperately eager to fasten the entire guilt on its antagonists.
