Our first year in the great war

Our first year in the great war

IT is an old saying that Diplomats make War

and Soldiers make Peace. Like all apothegms

and paradoxes, this has in it a considerable measure

of truth. Our soldiers have been on the job

now for a year, and the purpose of this and the

following chapters is to consider what progress

they are making. Before taking up the more

technical side of their tasks it is well to consider

the influences that surround them and aid or

thwart them, in Politics, Finance, and Industry.

All these have a distinct bearing upon the prospects

of their success in bringing about a durable

and satisfactory Peace.
