Cornell, judging from the Bucknell game, isn't as far along as she'd like to be, either. Trouble...
...power of Terauchi in Japan and the beginning of the long deferred struggle for the control of the oil wells and wheat fields of the lower Danube. That Germany was surprised by the entry of Rumania into the war was made clear by the removal of von Falkenhayn; whether von Hindenburg can rectify the error of his predecessor is doubtful.
