Excerpt from The Great War in 1914: A Sketch of the Operations in Europe and Asia, With Some Reflexions and ObservationsOwing to the social conditions which the intelligence of Man has created, the savage instincts are kept in check, and consequently modified in certain surroundings, but even in the most civilized and orderly communities an outbreak of savagery, such as a war with another political organization, is not infrequent and, curiously enough, not unwelcome - at the outbreak.The late war was welcomed with enthusiasm in Germany as also in Russia and Austria. Even in civilized France and Britain there was no reluctance to engage.
