q preeipiee but as 1t went over the edge one was
taken by surprise The world that blew up in 1914
never put back together again. The disaster Of this
August has been the horizon for years. and every
one has seen 1t.
These stories are about America and its two war
Augusts"-9i4 and 1899. The contrast between those
two Augusts is the contrast between the world that
went away forever IS years ago and the confused
certain world which is trying to take Its place The
contrast goes to the roots Of everything In national
life and In the world which conditions that life.
The outbreak Of the 1914 war looked unreal over
here. 1t was very remote; something fascinating and
rather appalling to look at but nothing that could
mean much to people on this side Of the Atlantic.
Europe was very far away and its quarrels
