This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War-Time Strikes and Their Adjustment The writer has endeavored in the following pages to give as complete an account as space and available material will allow of the labor difficulties which occurred during the war and of the machinery which was created to adjust them. It has, of course, been impossible to deal with every one of the thousands of strikes which took place - even controversies of considerable size and importance had to be omitted - nor has any attempt been made to thoroughly cover the events of the post-armistice period. But inasmuch as most of the labor difficulties after the signing of the armistice were directly connected with those which took place during the war itself, it was considered desirable to include some of these later occurrences as far as such a course was practicable.

Download or read book Germany After the Armistice written by Maurice Berger and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-20 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Germany After the Armistice: A Report, Based on the Personal Testimony of Representative Germans, Concerning the Conditions Existing in 1919 Lieutenant berger's volume will rank high among post-war documents. It is not a treatise, not a philippic, not a plea for or against the order which has arisen in Germany since the Revolution. It is a report on conditions in Germany, moral and physical, such as the author found them during the armistice period - ma report which bears all the earmarks of fidelity and open-mindedness. It is, moreover, characterized by a vivid sense of values and a penetrating understanding of German psychology. The New Germany or the New Prussia (for the author didn't carry his inquiry beyond the borders of Prussia) is described not as a hostile Entente critic might see it, but as the Germans, or Prus sians, themselves see it. It was a happy idea to go among these people in the early period of the revolutionary reorganiza tion and to let them say for themselves what was their attitude toward the new order, and what were their mental reactions to their war crimes and to the peace of justice (to them a peace of violence) which the Allies were about to impose on them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Winning a Cause, World War Stories Lest We Forget, the first volume of World War stories, gave an outline of the struggle up to the time of the signing of the armistice, November 1918, and contained in general, chronological order most of the stories that to children from ten to sixteen years of age would be' of greatest interest, and give the clearest understanding of the titanic contest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the World War, Vol. 5: The Victory of Armistice The last campaign Of the World War was a fitting climax to a struggle which had endured already for more than three years and had surpassed all previous contests recorded in human history. In the final phase more than six millions of men, representing seven nations, fought for 235 days on a front Of 250 miles from the North Sea to the Moselle, from the outer defences of Metz to the ruins of Nieuport. And the struggle was not limited to the west front. While Germany met her ancient foes in decisive contest on the battlefields of France, Italian armies first repulsed then crushed the Austrians on the Piave; Serbian, Greek, French, British, and Italian troops fought Bulgarians in Albania and Macedonia, and British troops overwhelmed the Turk on the Plain of Armageddon. Two continents furnished the battlefields, and five, reckoning Australia, supplied the combatants. But it was the issue of contest in France which decided the fate Of the world and the question Of victory and defeat in the great struggle. And in this contest, which French historians already regard as a single engagement and describe as the Battle of France, all the previous western campaigns were repeated on a hugely increased scale. When the Germans crushed the British Fifth Army in March, 1918, they swept forward over all the territory which had been gained and lost in the First Battle Of the Somme and the subsequent Hindenburg Retreat.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Demobilization Our Industrial and Military Demobilization After the Armistice, 1918-1920 Over there on that American front which had penetrated the supposedly impregnable Argonne and now commanded the enemy's main line of communications at Sedan, boys in our own khaki wriggled, charged, fought, plunged ahead all the morning, like the players of some mighty football team gaining every inch of advance possible before an intermission; and finally, as the whistles shrilled and the great silence fell at last upon a theatre that had shaken and roared with the thunder of war for more than four years, they set their heels into the turf of a line that was to be held as a starting-off place if the armistice, too, should prove to be only an intermission and a period of recuperation. Behind these outpost men were the American Expeditionary Forces, two million Strong. Behind the A. E. F. In America was a training and maintenance army nearly as numerous.

Much less the disruption of social order the world over. One of their first public acts accordingly was to invite all the belli gerents to conclude a general truce; although meeting with no response, they sought and obtained by December 15 an armistice with the enemy on the Russian and adjacent fronts. By Christmas, 1917, formal negotiations regarding the principles of a general peace had been Opened, and these, upon the failure of the Allies to associate themselves with the B01 shevist action, culminated first on February 9, 1918, in a separate peace with South Russia, the Ukraine, which German diplomacy had manmuvred into separate existence; and secondly, on the foilowing day, in the uncon ditional surrender Of the Petrograd Bolshevists.

Download or read book Travel Orders Press On written by Agnes Chalmers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travel Orders; Press On: The Note Book of a War Relief Worker Surely in this age none but the brave dare to ask and search for poetry. The Sunday before Christmas, 1918, a brave entertainer made this statement to a war worker: The boys are begging for poetry. I have looked everywhere in Paris and can find nothing suitable. I dread returning to Coblenz with out more poetry. Can you help me find some? In France, the makers of doughnuts made doughnuts and the makers of poetry made poetry. In each case, the doughnut and poemwere respected because they fed the boys. Aside from this, they had no honor. Thus one war worker became a maker of rhymes simply because the boys were demanding rhythm. The doughboy exemplified in his experience the words of Rupert Brooke who is quoted by his friend and biographer, Mr. Marsh, as saying: There are only three things in the world, one is to read poetry, another is to write poetry, and the best of all is to live poetry. In France, the American Expeditionary Forces and the war workers lived every phase of poetry and thus it was that the doughnut maker lived or made batches of doughnuts by day while the war worker lived or made batches of poetry by night. Everywhere in France and with the Army of Occupation, this work was done for one purpose - to make the way easier for the manly boys who were brave enough to fight, and ask for poetry, those same boys who, after the Armistice, waited, watched and prayed for Travel Orders, which would enable them to return to civil life and Press On toward the home of perpetual peace.
