...German thoroughness neglected. That man was Albert, the King. And in overlooking him, the Germans signed their own death-warrant. But for that one high, courageous soul, the Germans might have swept through Belgium unresisted, smashed the French Army before the British "Old Contemptibles" could have interposed their thin line, and then and there the war would have been won by the forces of evil...
...there only four American battalions in the far-off frozen section of Northern Russia? Because the Administration is unwilling to send a larger force thither.

Fast work, however, was shown both by the informals and by the Brookline team, and in several instances brilliant hockey was displayed. The school team had a strong defence and offence, but used little team-play. The individual men were expert players, but their attack was broken up in most cases...
