The War After the War

Speculations on the aftermath of World War I, first published in 1917. According to the Foreword: "For nearly three years Europe has been drenched with blood and rent with bitter strife. Millions of men have been killed or maimed: billions of dollars in property have gone up in smoke and ruin--all part of the mighty sacrifice laid on the Altar of the Great War. This tragic tumult must inevitably subside. The smoke of battle will clear: the scarred fields will mantle again with springtime verdure: the fighting hosts will once more find their way to peaceful pursuit. Time the Healer will wipe out the wounds of war."
