...reprinting from the Atlantic Monthly the last published words of Frederic Schenck, untimely rapt away,--words, which, by a strange fate, discuss another's guessing at the problem Schenck himself was so soon to solve, the editors have paid a graceful tribute to the memory of a brilliant...
Determining the fate of the surrendered German and Austrian fleets is one of the first practical questions to be decided by the Allies.

With the realization of this hope, with the ominous danger of war removed once...
