All along it was declared that we
were fighting Hohenzollernism and
Prussianism and the doctrine that

nation.
Trained Men Necessary.
If you do send men over they will
have to be trained for the prevailing
kind Of warfare. but if they are picked
men that should not take long. think
you go a little bit too far when you
say that the United States could have
an army of ten million men in the

the country could not produce equip

The guns are so many and the firing
so accurate that the German trenches

states that it is IAN army of citizen

solid, the most chivalrous army that
ever sprang from the womb of old
brown-faced mother earth, in England,
Wales, Ireland or Bonnie Scotland. or

dear to every Briton by ungrudging
