Excerpt from A Little History of the Great World War The Tsar of Russia urged the crown prince to go as far in meeting the Austrian demands as Servia's national integrity would allow and then in case this failed, Russia would not be unmindful of her fate. July 24th - The day Russia sent the above message she decided on a partial mobilization of her troops. She believed that trouble was coming and she must prepare for it in time. Russia asked England's aid in case war came. France being bound to Russia by treaty as an ally, hinted at the same. Germany knew that the war was coming and she asked Eng land to remain neutral. England feared war, but her h0pe was for peace and so she did not commit herself to either France, Russia or Germany.

Excerpt from A Short History of the Great World War AT first sight this short history may seem a superfluous addition to the literature of the War. Several exhaustive histories, written by competent authorities, have appeared in numerous parts and volumes, and there are many smaller works dealing with special phases of the war. But there are thousands of people who have not had the time or the opportunity to read these works, many of Whom will, perhaps, be glad to have the record of the whole war in a handy form at a moderate price. It may also appeal to repatriated prisoners of war who were only able to follow the course of events through enemy versions, and would like to devote a few hours to reading the complete story. Lastly, there is no doubt that the history and lessons of the Great War will be taught in the schools and colleges of the British Empire, and it is hoped teachers may find this book useful either as a class-book for their pupils or a foundation for their own teaching.

Excerpt from A Short History of the Great War Bismarck's successful methods were now to be used on a wider scale to raise Germany to a similar predominance in the world. The Serbian plot was merely the lever to set the whole machinery working, and German activities all the world over from Belgrade and Petrograd to Constantinople, Ulster, and Mexico were parts in a comprehensive piece.

Excerpt from The Great World War, Vol. 1: A History In this ungovernable ambition Ger many stands condemned out of the mouths of her own dictators. War, according to General von Bernhardi, who revealed the thoughts and faith of his race with amazing frankness in his several books on the subject, had become for Germany a biological ne cessity of the first importance. War is the father of all things he quoted, and since Germany had to expand or perish, and could only expand at the cost of other nations, she must hack out her destiny by force of arms. Germany's historical mission, accord ing to the same teaching, was nothing less than the ultimate conquest of the globe. It was to be world-power or downfall, and no German brought up on this doctrine had the least doubt as to the issue.

Excerpt from The Great World War, Vol. 7: A History George Buchanan, remained always steadfast to his pledge, Stanch to the Allies, and a friend to Britain; but the younger Officers felt that the Government was deliberately trying to quench popular enthusiasm for the war; and the rank and file, weary and discontented, were a prey to those who played on these feelings. The fighting spirit was quenched; the army was soft, though it had still a steel cap in its artillery and Shock battalions.
