These things were choice words to him, nothing more; and he had no valid authority on which to deny that the country was being tricked into war by the Interests, something heinous that the _New Dawn_ spelled with a capital letter.

In a way he believed this, because his brother said so.

His brother had been educated.

He even felt shame-faced and apologetic about his resolve to enter the fight.
But this resolve was stanch; he wanted to fight, even if he had been tricked by Wall Street into feeling that way.

The _New Dawn_ said he had been tricked, and he supposed it was true, even if he couldn't clearly detect how Wall Street had made Germany pursue the course that made him want to fight.
