Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Through Europe on the Eve of War, a Record of Personal Experiences: Including, an Account of the First World Conference, of the Churches for International Peace
On Saturday morning, August lst, at three o'clock, Dr. Charles S. Macfarland, Secretary of the Federal Council of Churches, and I were sleeping soundly in one of the comfortable compartments of the cars belonging to the International Sleeping Car Company, when we were suddenly seized by the shoulders by the guard and shaken out of our deep slumbers. Get out as fast as you can, he said. The Germans have blown up the track on the frontier just ahead of us and seized three French engines, and the quicker we get out of this the better. This was our first taste of war!
