Excerpt from The King's Men For the moment the great European war appears mainly as a military event shaping to an end in Flanders, Poland, and the Near East. Even those whose work has hitherto denied them an active part in the progress of the armies look continually towards the battlefield. But the war is not only a military event. It is, so far as the English are concerned, a social revolution - social revolution beside which all former revolutions will one day seem to be of Lillipu. We cannot measure it as yet. We are hardly aware of its progress. We shall only realise how deep and complete it is when the fighting is finished, and our political leaders find themselves confronted with Young England. The war found us in the act of taking to its extreme consequence the doctrine of personal licence. In politics the State had virtually retired from sovereignty.
