His academic career was interrupted by two years (1915 and 1916) spent in Brussels as director of Hoover's humanitarianAmerican Commission for Relief in Belgium. Initially a pacifist, Kellogg dined with the officers of the German Supreme Command. He became shocked by the grotesque Social Darwinist motivation for the German war machine, "the creed of survival of the fittest based on violent and fatal competitive struggle is the Gospel of the German intellectuals."[3] Kellogg decided that the ideas could be beaten only by force and, using his connections with America's political elite, began to campaign for American intervention in the war. He published an account of his conversations in the book Headquarters Nights.[4]
After the war, he served as the first permanent secretary of the National Research Council in Washington, DC.
