...Eagle realizes, as most thinking Americans realize, that there was no moral obliquity and no anti-Americanism in the fighting Kreisler did at the front against the Czar's troops in the early days of the great war.

He further showed that Russia offered three time to stop mobilization and refer the whole matter to arbitration if Austria would stop her attack on Servia, but the only reply was from Germany, which, without consulting her ally, stated...
...also interesting that the aspiration of both Yale and Harvard in hat cord color schemes is the black and gold, which is strongly reminiscent of Princeton's colors. That trinity of oriflammes which once made gaudy the air on November afternoons have now become more mixed than an Austrian nationality...
