A Conversation on Ostriches
Sherman, Stuart P. | August 9, 1919 issue

The article presents comments on war. The crowning stupidity of the ages might, without lifting the onus from the chief aggressors, be viewed by all the participants with a considerable measure of regret. The nervous unrest and a kind of mild epidemic hypochondria have been more noticeable through the period of negotiations for peace than they were in the course of the war. For the average man in the U.S., the motto should now be "business as usual," as a remedy for despair. If the world possessed a livelier realistic imagination, it could dispense to advantage with a great part of its idealism.
