Excerpt from Watchfires: A Play in Four Acts

One of the noblest scholars the great University of Paris ever sent to America, Robert Pelissier, Professor of French at Stanford, was among the thousands of young men de stroyed in the attack on the Somme. His last letter to America said: The soldiers in the ranks do not hate each other. They say, 'les Boches, ce sont des hommes comme nous.' (the Prussians, they are men like us.) It is not the soldier that keeps alive the fear, the lies, the hate, that surround every war like 'an atmosphere of pestilence, - war which starts with the men who make money by it, and is joyously pushed on by those who welcome it as a backfire against democracy. It is a unique form of crime so adjusted that those only suffer who are innocent.
