To solve this, we analyze the context:

• The word "sentiments" in "anti - war sentiments" is about the attitudes or feelings people had towards the war.
• In the later part of the passage, "anti - war feelings" is used to describe the same kind of attitude. So we can see that "sentiments" and "feelings" have a similar meaning in this context.

In the passage, "anti - war sentiments" refers to people's attitudes towards the war. The phrase "anti - war feelings" is later used to describe the same concept. So "feelings" is a synonym for "sentiments" here.
