Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War Book Many of our homes must furnish their young men for the army and navy. This involves a large sacrifice and we may depend upon such homes to do all that they can to assist their boys in accomplishing a victory. Everyone, however, must be led to be equally willing to sacrifice for the country's welfare. This can only come about when our boys and girls and their parents come to understand and appreciate the fact that this war is not the concern of any class or group. When we are called upon to endure inconveniences in order that we may save food or fuel it is not for the purpose of helping a food or fuel administrator who may be located in Washington or in our state capital. It is, first of all, to assure that Vermont boys and others who have been called to the colors shall have proper food and sufficient equipment, and then to assist in preventing the starvation of those people who are fighting with us in this great cause. It is therefore necessary for everyone to know how our armies are raised and cared for. We should also understand why we must produce and conserve every possible bit of food and fuel. This book has been written for the sole purpose of furnishing this information to Vermont boys and girls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief History of the War This bulletin makes no pretense of being either a thorough or a final treatment of the war. Its purpose is merely to gather in concise form the more significant phases of the war, so that these may be taught in the schools of Texas. A heavy responsibility rests upon all teachers in our present crisis, for their instruction will have great in uence upon the opinions of their pupils. Amid the bitterness and hatred that war develops, it becomes increasingly necessary for as many people as possible to keep clearly in mind the main issues of this con ict. Disloyalty and intrigue are abroad, and Ameri cans should one and all so understand our part in this war that no doubt or faintheartedness can turn us aside from what we have undertaken to do.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Truth About Germany: Facts About the War RY to realize, every one of you, what we are going through! Only a few weeks ago all of us were peacefully following our several vocations. The peasant was gathering in this summer's plentiful crop, the factory hand was working with accustomed vigor. Not one human being among us dreamed of war. We are a nation that wishes to lead a quiet and industrious life. This need hardly be stated to you Americans. You, of all others, know the temper of the German who lives within your gates. Our love of peage is so strong that it is not regarded by us in the light of a virtue, we Simply know it to be an inborn and integral portion of ourselves. Since the foundation of the German Empire in the year 1871, we, living in the centre of Europe, have given an example of tranquillity and peace, never once seeking to profit by any momentary difficulties of our neighbors. Our commercial extension, our financial rise in the world, is far removed from any love of adventure, it is the fruit of painstaking and plodding labor. We are not credited with this temper, because we are insufficiently known. Our situation and our way of thinking are not easily grasped.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from About the War: Plain Words to Plain People If there is any one tiling about which everybody thinks and everybody talks, in these days, it is the war. How many feel? right about it, it is not so easy to tell. One way to feel right about it is to understand the cause and consequences of it, and in trying to show these Ave need not use any harsh or unkind words. We all know how our country began. A few families came across the sea and settled on the James River, at the South, and were followed in five or six years by another party that settled on the shores of Cape Cod, at the North. The newcomers suffered a great many hardships, but after a while things became settled. The colonies (as they were called) were under the English government, as the Canadas are now, and for nearly one hundred and fifty years they were prosperous. They had a good understanding among themselves, and also with the British government. The farmers and fishermen of New England worked hard, and made a comfortable living. They were sober, industrious, and resolute; thought a good deal of churches and schools, and meddled very little with anybody's business but their own. The people of the colonies of New York and Pennsylvania had much the same interests with those of the more northern colonies. Iron and coal were then lying undisturbed in their mountains, while agriculture and commerce were their chief pursuits. Farther south were Delaware, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, and the Carolinas. Their interests, then, were not materially different from the rest of the country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

You are here to find out what you can do to help win the war. Now, what is it that your chairman wants you to do? That is what I want to talk to you about: what the job is and the necessity for this work. It's the biggest job America ever faced, or is ever likely to face. It is a job so big that none of us has walked around and measured it. We have only got some little views of the mountain that is ahead of us. We are just beginning to understand what it means to go to war in the modern sense and what it means to prepare America for war. We knew we were unprepared. I don't know whether we knew how thoroughly unprepared we were. Our unpreparedness was complete. But when we come to make an inventory of what is necessary; when we come to understand what a gigantic task it is to equip an army; when we come to know something about modern warfare and understand that it is a matter of equipment as much as it is of men; then we begin to see something of the size of this undertaking.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Neglected Aspects of War The cause of Universal Peace, upon which so much of the world's attention has been fixed this summer by the Hague Conference, can progress surely to success only upon the same conditions by which any other movement for good reaches its goal. It will not be advanced, but retarded, by neglecting diligently and calmly to consider facts, to look them straight in the face; to see things as they are, and not merely as one would wish to see them now, or as it is possible that our descendants may be privileged to see in a future happier age. Among many perversions of thought and resultant exaggerations of statement, by the unconditional advocates of Arbitration, there is one which underlies all others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How Can War Ever Be Right? You will probably try, and almost certainly fail, to make them somehow feel ashamed or humiliated. It is likely enough that you will merely make them into national heroes. And after all, this is assuming quite the best sort of war a war in which one party is wrong and the other right, and the right wins. Suppose both are wrong; or suppose the wrong party wins _it is as likely as not for, if the right party is helped by his good con science, the wrong has probably taken pains to have the odds on his side before he began quarrelling. In that case all the wild expenditure of blood and treasure, all the immeasurable suffering of innocent individuals and dumb animals, all the tears of women and children in the background, have taken place not to vindicate the right but to establish the wrong. -to do a little evil that great or certain good may come is all very well but to do almost infinite evil for a doubtful chance of attaining something which half the people concerned may think good and the other half think bad, and which in no imaginable case can ever be attained in fullness or purity that is neither good morals nor good sense.

Download or read book A Concise Chronicle of Events of the Great War Classic Reprint written by R. P. P. Rowe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Concise Chronicle of Events of the Great War I trust that this chronicle of the chief events of the war will prove a useful and an interesting record. It has been decided to omit maps, because their inclusion within bounds less than cumbersome would prove practically worthless. The number of towns, as opposed to villages, which were definitely connected with the war is surprisingly small, and their locality is known to nearly every one. The great majority of places which the war has brought into prominence are villages so small that they are marked only in maps of an exceptionally large scale. What is required, therefore, for adequate study of the topography of the war, is either a moderate number of maps of great size or a far larger and confusing number less bulky but each covering only a small area. As the inclusion of either would necessitate a detached and cumbrous volume, I have in its absence taken pains to indicate accurately the posi tion of every place whose locality might be unfamiliar. In the following pages the names given to the battles, and the dates on which they began and ended, are from sources either official or authoritative. The same may be said of the strategical or tactical aims or results which I have in some cases noted - particularly in 1918.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War and Peace, Vol. 3 The actions of Napoleon and Alexander, on whose words it seemed to depend whether the event was to take place or not, were as little arbitrary as the action of any soldier who went into the campaign by lot or by recruit ment. It could not have been otherwise because, in order that the will of Napoleon and Alexander (of those people on whom the event seemed to have depended) should be fulfilled, there was needed the coincidence Of an endless number Of circumstances, without one of which the event could not have occurred. It was necessary for millions of people, in the hands of whom was the real power, for the soldiers who fired, and who transported the provisions and the guns, to agree to do the will of a few weak individuals, and to be brought to do this by an endless number of complicated, complex causes. Fatalism in history is necessary for the explanation of unreasonable events, that is, of such as we do not compre hend the reason. The more reasonably we attempt to explain these phenomena in history, the more unreason able and unintelligible they become to us.

Download or read book Knowledge for War written by B. C. Lake and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-15 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Knowledge for War: Every Officer's Handbook for the Front The Syllabus is necessarily long and, Owing to the number of Official books and to the0 length at which they deal with the selected subjects, most young officers find it difficult to cover the full course in the short time available. There is also a good deal in the Syllabus which cannot be found in the manuals. In' Knowledge for War references are given to the Official manuals for everything in them touching the prescribed course. Since the manuals were written many new ideas and methods have been adopted, especially from the experience gained during the present war. These have been dealt with in pamphlets issued from time to time by the -war Office. As few young officers have access to them, an attempt is made in the present volume to condense all that is necessary within convenient limits. It must be clearly understood that Knowledge for War is in no way intended to replace the official text books, but should be used in conjunction with them. A copy of the Syllabus, which has been closely adhered to, is printed in the beginning as a guide to the contents of the book. For obvious reasons more than half the book is devoted to Trench Warfare. I feel that no apology is needed for devoting so much space to this important subject in all its aspects, even though it has meant the exclusion of chapters on Open warfare.

Download or read book The Vital Issues of the War Classic Reprint written by Richard Wilson Boynton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vital Issues of the War The first seven sermons in this volume were preached on successive Sundays in April and May and the eighth in September of the present year. Now that the church seems, in the eyes of many, to have fallen from the high esteem in which it was held by a former generation, no doubt a volume of sermons, even on "The Vital Issues of the War," runs grave risk of not being read. Since the war began, however, sharp criticism has been visited upon the pulpit for evading the discussion of its compelling moral and spiritual problems; it needs, therefore, to be made known that all pulpits, to say the least, have not deserved the reproach of failing to utilize this unique opportunity. So my book goes forth, quite without apology, for what it is - the messages of a preacher to his people in the regular course of his ministry, printed as they were delivered, with only the slight revision desirable for publication. Such utterances inevitably reflect a point of view determined in part by the time at which they were spoken. In this they are in nowise exceptional. Magazine articles, or the chapters of a book, must be finished sometime, and must bear internal evidences of their date of composition. Later impressions, especially of the swiftly-moving panorama of a world-war, would modify certain details. Thus, one could not speak now with as much optimism of the Bolshevik rule in Russia as was possible when Sermon IV was preached last April. Still, I have decided to let the sermon stand, as perhaps an over-sympathetic interpretation of the obscure strivings of the Russian democracy, the final outcome of which is still far from apparent. In such a case, one would rather err by undue generosity than by cold-blooded cynicism, which the sermon was intended to rebuke.
