Description
Excerpt from The Neutrals Portion: A Romance of the Middle West
He wanted nothing but to shake the dust of Europe from his feet and see his native land once more. He was soul sick of war and rumors of war. The very atmosphere of these countries was frantic, mad, pulsing with murderous passions and killing hate. It was sti?ing. Paul yearned for the clean, sane air of his native Indiana, the sight of his great farms, the cheery speech of his native land racy with humorous slang, the quiet, solid, restful sanity of mind that settled dif f crenees by other means than the sword and looked with abhorrence on all killing, no matter under what patriotic guise it went. Of murder and the means and tools of murder he had enough. He wanted to get out of this atmosphere of swords and shells and powder, back to that of the ploughshare and the results of the peaceful industry of a peace loving people.
