They have no chance for recreation after working hours or on holidays, unless they go to places it would be better to keep away from. If men wish to visit them, it must needs be in their bedrooms, on the street, or in some questionable resort." "How am I to change this condition?" said Selwyn. "In many ways," said Dru.
Sometimes in his day dreams, Dru thought of Russia in its vastness, of the ignorance and hopeless outlook of the people, and wondered when her deliverance would come. There was, he knew, great work for someone to do in that despotic land.
The trip north from Fort Magruder was a most trying experience for Philip Dru, for although he had as traveling companions Gloria and Jack Strawn, who was taking a leave of absence, the young Kentuckian felt his departure from Texas and the Army as a portentous turning point in his career.
Selwyn not only gave General Dru this information, but much else that was of extreme value. Dru soon came to know that at heart Selwyn was not without patriotism, and that it was only from environment and an overweening desire for power that had led him into the paths he had heretofore followed.
It was a holocaust, but the war was indeed ended. After General Dru had given orders for the care of the wounded and the disposition of the prisoners, he dismissed his staff and went quietly out into the starlight.

"That, Philip, is because we are largely striving for the same purposes. We both want, I think, to take the selfish equation out of our social fabric.
The response was in no way satisfactory, so he issued a formal demand upon each state to furnish its quota. The states that were in sympathy with his administration responded, the others ignored the call. General Dru learned that large reinforcements had been ordered to Chicago, and he therefore at once moved upon that place.
They recognized the fact that Dru dominated the situation and that a master mind had at last arisen in the Republic. He had a large and devoted army to do his bidding, and the future seemed to lie wholly in his hands.
