In the fall of 1915 the Russians strengthened their position in Persia and Urumia was again within their lines. CHAPTER XII: THE INTERLUDE In September, 1915, Dr. Shedd with his two children left Persia for a visit to America. Coming out of an atmosphere rife with the horrors of war, he felt the need of mental ad- justment to conditions in America. "I am trying to clear up my ideas on the war, " he said. "I think that I hate war as much as any one, but I don't seem to set peace as the greatest ...good in the way that many people do. With the American people, I'm a great deal more afraid that they won't have the zeal they should have than that they will learn to love war. There is a kind of peace that is a nega- tive kind of thing, like a good deal of the prevailing complacency of conscience. "This frame of mind that is always congratu- lating our country on being out of the war does not appeal to me ; not that I do not appreciate the value of being at peace. What is coming I do not know.
