Excerpt from The Nations at War The salient features of the struggle, the great clashes of armies, the sharp actions which won this or that point of high vantage for one or the other belligerent can readily be described in swift phrases without sacrifice of the picturesque. Verdun was fought over for more than two years, yet after the first four days of fighting the story of Verdun is but one of persistent attack and dogged resistance along lines that Changed hardly a score of yards in as many weeks. The true story of Verdun is the story of the almost spiritual consecration which held the French to its defense so long. But that is a story which takes little time for the telling.

Excerpt from The Nation at War The book is not a history of State Councils, and far less does it pretend to be an account of all Ameri can war work. The treatment of the States is indeed deliberately uneven, certainly not from partiality or prejudice, but simply because, within the limits of a single handy volume, I have tried to give the casual reader some general idea of what the State Councils are doing as a whole. This I have thought could be more effectively done by picking out the high lights here and there rather than by covering my canvas with a at uniformity of detail. Quite frankly, too, I have occasionally dwelt with emphasis on the less known parts of the country, and on parts that are misunderstood.

Excerpt from The Nations at War: The Birth of a New Era A Hundred years ago, the last general European war effected the overthrow of a militarydespotism. Great expectations were then formed of the dawn of a new era; they came to nothing, owing to the blunders or crimes of the victors. To-day a similar conflict is occurring, similar hopes are aroused. Many confidently predict that such hopes will be once more falsified; they despair of the future of the race, and give full rein to their pessimism. But that pessimism is unjustified. In the last century, mankind has made some progress; the democracy in every land has learned something of its power. That power can be used for good, and will be so used, if the many do not despair of themselves. The allies can be forced to remain true to the high ideals which they have professed; their victory may be the dawn of a brighter era. Unless mankind has lived in vain, that dawn is certain.

Excerpt from Credit of the Nations: A Study of the European War It may seem quite audacious to try to include within the limits of one moderate volume a study of the workings of credit in several of the principal belligerent nations in the European War, when for a full statement of the complex credit operations in any one of them a separate volume might be little enough. There is the additional reason against it that the time and labor in collecting and digesting the material must be as great for a condensed as for an extended exposition. Nevertheless, it was believed that an examination of the most important measures in each country, told in plain, untechnical language, could be presented within a compass which would not require more time for its perusal than a busy man of affairs could afford. Such a study would, furthermore, bring to a much wider constituency an insight into the hidden workings of credit behind the issues of paper money, banking, foreign exchange, and public finance. Stripped of their technicalities, these matters can be made easy of comprehension. In addition, such a discussion under one head of the various policies of the greater nations would make possible a comparative study which would throw light on the successes and failures during the war in affairs of stupendous importance and magnitude. Thereupon, it became evident that for our own enlightenment on entering the struggle we needed not only the facts in the field of credit, but also a clear and simple presentation of the principles underlying these facts, together with a vigorous criticism of governmental policies in the light of these principles.

Excerpt from The League of Nations This, or something like this, has hitherto been the history of the ideal that has now become associated with the phrase A League of Nations; but it does not follow that the history of this'or of other ideals will be the same after the war as before it. There is more at stake in this war than the existence of individual States or Empires, or the fate of a Continent; the whole of modern civilization is at stake, and whether it will perish and be submerged, as has happened to previous civilizations of older types, or whether it will live and progress, depends upon whether the nations engaged in this war, and even those that are onlookers, learn the lessons that the experience of the war may teach them. It must be with nations as with individuals; in the great trials of life they must become better or worse - they cannot stand still. They must learn and profit by experience and rise to greater heights, or else sink lower and drop eventually into the abyss. And this war is the greatest trial of which there is any record in history. If the war does not teach mankind new lessons that will so dominate the thought and feeling of those who survive it, and those who succeed the survivors, as to make new things possible, then the war will be the greatest catastrophe as well as the most grievous trial and suffering of which mankind has any record.

Excerpt from The Balance Sheet of the Nations at War On the other hand, the combined debt of the Entente Allies is only per cent of their wealth, while the combined debt of the Teutonic Allies is per cent of their wealth. Interest charges upon the debt of the Entente Allies is per cent of their national income, while that of the-teutonic Allies is l per cent of the national income. While exact figures are not available, it is a well known fact that the surplus food producing sections of the world are practically all controlled by the Entente Allies either directly or through their control of the seas. The same thing is true to a very great extent in regard to the metals and coal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Brief History of the War This bulletin makes no pretense of being either a thorough or a final treatment of the war. Its purpose is merely to gather in concise form the more significant phases of the war, so that these may be taught in the schools of Texas. A heavy responsibility rests upon all teachers in our present crisis, for their instruction will have great influence upon the opinions of their pupils. Amid the bitterness and hatred that war develops, it becomes increasingly necessary for as many people as possible to keep clearly in mind the main issues of this conflict. Disloyalty and intrigue are abroad, and Ameri cans should one and all so understand our part in this war that no doubt or faintheartedness can turn us aside from What we have undertaken to do.

Excerpt from Neutral Nations and the War These doctrines may be found set forth in the widely circulated book of General von Bernhardi, entitled Germany and the Next War, published in 1911, and} professing to be __mainly based on the teachings of the famous professor of history, Heinrich von Treitschke. To readers ln other countries, and, I trust, to most readers in Germany also, they will appear to be an outburst of militarism run mad, the product of a_ brain intoxicated by the love of war and by superheated national Self-consciousness.
