Englands World Empire-Alfred Hoyt Granger-1916

This is not to be in any sense of the word a “War Book,” although it owes its conception to thoughts arising out of the great conflict which is shaking the foundations of civilization. We read much these days of what will take place after the war, but what we read are only the opinions of individuals ; what the consequences will be remains concealed in the mind of God. Here, in America, public opinion depends largely upon the dictum of the daily press, and the preponderant sympathy for the Allies, and especially for Great Britain and France, is both natural and, to a degree, excusable. With Great Britain we have a common language and common traditions, and with France we have the bond of gratitude and sympathy for generous help in our hour of need. Sentiment, rather than reason, has always controlled the sympathies of the human race. When the war is over there will be the beginnings of a New World, a world in which America must play her part. That she may play her part nobly is the hope and prayer of millions of her sons and daughters.
