...idea of a powerful English army, they were sure that no large Canadian force would reach their front, and they sneered at the notion of a million Americans in France. To them it seemed impossible that a draft army and an army of volunteers could vie with the Kaiser's trained men. We have not as yet completely proved that the American Army, man for man, is the equal of the German troops, but we are decidedly on the right track. At Seicheprey, at Cantigny, and on the Marne "we met the enemy and they were ours." This...

Rumania a vassal of Austria, Bulgaria a willing tool, and vast territories wrung from Russia complete a brief but overwhelming accomplishment. The German tide, which we believed to be receding, has reached its highest flood. The Allies futilely hammer on the Western Front and their enemies reap whole nations in a seemingly irresistible advance. The world, as seen from our shores, presents...
