...dropped from their machines. These men were exceptions, however, for the volunteer army of Kitchener was officered entirely from University men and public school boys from Eton, Rugby, Winchester and similar institutions. Barely a month was devoted to training these lads so great was the pressure at first. The bulk of their training was received on the gruelling field of battle, and the losses were terrific...
...Compulsory exercise may not be so beneficial as that in which students indulge because of their love of sport for itself or for the opportunities it gives of exercise in the open, but it is vastly better than nothing. Consider what army training did for our draft men. The bulk of them were scrawny enough when they entered Camp Upton.

It is also a violent denunciation of Germany with its so-called "feudal-monarchical organization based upon a mighty capitalistic foundation". The bulk of the book, with its chapters on the Balkan question, Austria-Hungary, the war against Czarism, the collapse of the International, and Socialistic opportunism, was written in New York before the Russian revolution...
