Abstract

With the Americans: A French Opinion

April 25, 1918 issue

add to cart close window

When one visits the Americans in their cantonments and their encampments, he will find long tablelands traversed by practice trenches. The Germans have dreaded the entry upon the scene of the American army, only for a single reason-business. Commercially and industrially menaced, they have said to themselves that each and every drop of American blood which they shall hailed shed will additionally retard the resumption of business relations with the great republic across the Atlantic after peace has been declared. The German psychology, which has so often been at fault, has never at any time been more gravely so than with respect to the part of America in the war.
