Synopsis
Excerpt from Speaking of Prussians
Few days before war was declared, an antimilitarist mass meeting was held in New York. It was variously ad dressed by a number of well-known gentle men regarding whose purity Of motive there could be no question, but regarding whose judgment a great majority of us have an opinion that cannot be printed without the use of asterisks. And it was attended by a very large representation of peace-loving citizens, including a numerous contingent of those peculiar patriots who, for the past two years, have been so very distressed if any suggestion of hostilities with the Cen tral Powers was Offered, but so agreeably reconciled if a break with the Allies, or any one of them, seemed a contingency.
