This poem has recently been set to music by Dr. Carlos
Troyer, of San Francisco, that is as thrilling and soul-stirring
as are the words. Copies may be had by sending
sixty cents in postage stamps to Dr. Troyer, 1236 19th Ave.,
Sunset District, San Francisco, Calif.

This was written prior to the breaking out of the war of
1914-15, when "hell was let loose in Europe." Yet I do not
feel inclined to change one single line of what I then wrote.
During 1915, I was engaged speaking daily to large audiences
at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco—I
estimate that I addressed not less than 300,000 people during
that time. In many of these addresses I expressed my
thoughts about the hideousness, the needlessness, the waste,
the devilishness of war, with open frankness, and without
a single exception my denunciations of the system of war
were received with hearty applause. I refer to this merely
as an index as to what I believe is the general thought of
all intelligent people on the subject. All except war-mad
and war-hypnotized people hate war and desire to see it
abolished, and the higher standards of brotherly and amicable
conference and equitable adjustment of difficulties take
its place. That nations were urged into the European conflict
is no proof that they love war. It is rather a proof
that they hate war enough to die to make future wars impossible.
This, I sincerely hope and confidently expect, will
be the tendency of the result, if not an actually accomplished
result.
