Excerpt from The Great War: Its Lessons and Its Warnings The object of this little book is the same as that of the previous publications by the same author. It seeks to awaken the minds of the people to the importance of Agriculture, and to show that that great industry is the only safe basis on which the economy of the nation can rest. It is a difficult task, because during the past two generations or more they have been educated and nurtured on the idea that trade and commerce were the corner-stones of national wealth and prosperity. Agriculture has been a neglected quantity. No serious thought has been bestowed on it by the general public; and successive Governments, during these generations, have treated it as of small account. The events of the Great War now raging give us many serious warnings, which it would be unwise and may be fatal to leave unheeded.

Excerpt from The Great War and Its Lessons We are a neutral nation, and the President has rightly enjoined us all to observe neutrality in speech and in deed. But neutrality is not indifference: it is not the neutrality of the casual passer-by who views with amused carelessness a fight between two street rowdies; it is the neutrality of the just judge who aims, without passion and without prejudice, to render judgment on the proved facts. We cannot if we would refrain from passing judgment upon the conduct of men whether singly or in nations, and we should not attempt to do so.' In the first place, the moral judgment of the American people as to this war and as to the several steps in the declaration and conduct of it, is clear, calm, and practically unanimous. There is no beat ing of drums and blowing of bugles, but rather a sad pain and grief that our kin across the sea, owing whatever allegiance and speaking whatever tongue, are engaged in public murder and destruction on the most stupendous scale recorded in history. This of itself proves that the education of public opinion has proceeded far, and, whatever the war-traders and militarists may say, that the heart of the American people is sound and its head well-informed. The attitude of the American press is worthy of the highest praise; in some notable instances the very high-water mark of dignity and of power has been reached. When the war-clouds have lifted, I believe that the moral judgment of the American people as to this war will prove to be that of the sober - minded and fair-minded men in every country of Europe.

Excerpt from "The War in Europe" And Its Lessons for Us: An Address While I have found receptive audiences all over the country, there is no community in which 'i would expect a more sym pathetic hearing than in this, because the distinguished gentle man who represents you\in Congress views the subject from the same standpoint that I do. Whenever a new question arises upon which the people have not expressed themselves, it is important that each individual should make known his views in order that public opinion may represent the voters generally and not a portion of the people only. The country would be fortunate if all of our public men were as candid and as courageous in taking a position as Congressman Bailey, who honors you as he is honored by you. In order that you may follow me the more easily, I shall outline in advance the address which I am to deliver to you. It naturally divides itself into three parts: first, the war as it is and its injury to neutrals; second, the false philosophy out of which the war has grown and the natural results of that false philosophy; and, third, the way out, or the road to permanent peace. The subject is presented with a view to emphasizing the lessons which this country can draw from the con ict beyond the ocean.

Excerpt from First Lessons in War Every was brings in its course changes in tactics, of which the precise nature cannot be foreseen. This book was written in October 1914, before the accounts from the theatre of war had thrown much light on those changes of method of which we are now beginning to hear in some detail. The most important of them is the influence of artillery in compelling the infantry to be content with a much shorter field of fire in front of its trenches than is desirable for obtaining the full effect of the modern bullet. I think however that it is premature at present to modify the statements in my text as to the value of a clear field of fire, of which I suspect that the importance will reassert itself in the later stages of the war.

Excerpt from A History of the Great War Finally, and most important of all reasons, the international policy of the United States was one of isolation from European political ain bitions. The Englishman understood that his country was allied with France and Russia. He naturally experienced at least slight curiosity to understand the reasons for such alliance and its implications. He wanted to know also the problems and Circumstances of both his country's allies and its rivals - Germany, austria-hungary and Italy. The German understood that his country was allied with Austria Hungary, Italy and Turkey. He naturally experienced at least slight curiosity to understand the reasons for such alliance and its implica tions. He wanted to know also the problems and circumstances of both his country's allies and its rivals - Great Britain, France and Russia. But the citizen of the United States was ever confident that the political alliances of Europe could not touch his welfare. His country's colonial possessions were neither important nor calculated to arouse strong national pride; his land was almost entirely self-de pendent; and the Monroe Doctrine was a stout bulwark between the Old World and the New. The intelligent European recognized that any day a quarrel between two insignificant nations of the Balkans might send him to the battle-front within two weeks; in the United States, the future chairman of the Committee on Public Information was by no means alone in believing that the Ukraine was a musical instrument.

Excerpt from The Psychology of the Great War One of the plainest lessons taught by history, and one of those most substantially verified by. The present war, is that nations are not ruled by realities, but by the more or less illusory ideas which they form of these realities. The truth about an historical event may be revealed fifty years after it has taken place, but is seldom known at the time of its occurrence.

Excerpt from The War and Its Lessons Our crisis is not a financial one. The fault is not in our broad acres, which have never failed to yield, in rich luxuriance, their abun dant harvests; not in our commerce, which has been wafted, far and near, over every ocean, with remunerative success not in our manu factures, which have been as well sustained as need be, in a country so prominently agricultural, nor in any other of the departments to which Political Economy relates. Our trouble is not international, unavoidably precipitated upon us by the aggressive policy of foreign powers, not even a civil com motion incited by foreign influence, but accurately, purely, perfectly a home-production, an indigenous outgrowth from the government and the people. It is not even entirely sectional. Our government is national, most of our sins have been national too, and the nation at large has participated even in the profits, as well as other results, of local institutions. The evils of sections, so long as they pecuniarily paid, have been fostered by enough of the people of other localities, to give them life and efficiency, and the nation at large, is more particeps criminis, than we are sometimes disposed to concede.

Excerpt from What the War Teaches, or the Greatest Lessons of 1917 Our subject is, The Greatest Lessons of You will find the text in John We must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. You may not see at first the connection between the subject and the text, but you will as we go on, and especially as we close. The year that is just ending is the most momentous that any man now living has ever seen. There is reason to suppose that 1918 will be still more momentous, but that still lies in the future, about which it is not very safe to specu late. The day in which we are living is the day of the largest opportunity and loudest call to unstinted self-sacrifice and untiring service. I would rather live today than any day of this old world's history. Every year has its lessons, but no other year is so rich in lessons as this.
