But in this cooler, grimmer April of 1918 we must not forget its essential spirit. Indeed, the fact that every patriotic individual has a part to play in the war is far more apparent in the thirteenth month after our entry than it was in the first.

American soldiers, officers and men, arrive in France, fresh from their training camps, without any doubts that their march toward Berlin is to continue peacefully uninterrupted. What...
