Such interchanges went on constantly during the war-always of course through a neutral intermediary. (The amenities of warfare must be observed, even at some inconvenience.) Throughout the war English and French industries maintained to Germany a steady stream of glycerin (or explosives), nickel, copper, oil, and rubber. Germany even returned the compliment: she sent France iron and steel and magnetos for gasoline engines. This constant traffic went on during the war via Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, Spain, or Holland, by the simple process of transshipment--enemy to neutral to enemy...

We walked about 25 blocks and came to the ice house. She didn't cry. I undressed her. She asked me to take her to her grandmother. . . . I went back to see her Monday and she was asleep...
...brothers, though they defaulted recently on their maturing obligations to the House of Morgan, nevertheless enjoy the unique status of a going concern. Their maze of holding companies are based on paying properties such as the Chesapeake and Ohio and Nickel Plate Railroads, to name only the most promising. Whatever the merits of the case may be, it will be unfortunate in the extreme if the entire structure should be jeopardized by the forthcoming investigation since it can be anticipated that many thousands of innocent investors throughout the U.
