FIRST WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-David Lloyd
George was appointed Britain's sec
rotary of state for war; in place of
the late Lord Kitchener, a reward for
his having shown the greatest energy
and resource in the war as civilian.
At the same time, Sir Edward Grey,
whose secret trading with France
had forced Britain into the war, went
to the House of Lords as Viscount
Grey of Falledon. He retained the
Foreign Secretaryship, but was saved
from having to face the House of
Commons by his undersecretary, Lord
Robert Cecil.
Casualty lists carried the name of
Alan Seegar, American poet who
had penned immortal lines in II Have
a Rendezvous with Death" He had
loved France enough to give his life
for her, in the Foreign Legion He
fell near Belloy-en-Santerre, MORALLY
wounded in the stomach, as one of a
line with which France sought to drive
a wedge in support of the British
somme offensive.
