(The Stars and Stripes, 1919)

Written during the closing days of the paper’s existence, the reporting journalist could not emphasize enough how lousy the paper was with enlisted men serving in the most important positions.

Surprising is the high number of experienced newspapermen who wrote for the paper during the paper’s short existence.

Sinai And Palestine: Allenby’s Victory
(Liberty Magazine, 1936)

Attached are two articles by American journalist Lowell Thomas (1892 – 1981) regarding all that he witnessed while reporting on General Edmund Allenby’s campaign against Johnny Turk in the Sinai and Palestine Theater during the First World War. This reminiscence was written many years after the war in an effort to make up for the fact that “after eighteen years, no clear-cut account of Allenby’s campaign has been set down.”

”OOOPS – Sorry”
(Time Magazine, 1923)

Try as they may, the silver-tongued diplomats who rebuked Germany so mercilessly at Versailles in 1919 never could get an apology out of the Kaiser, or Hindenburg or Ludendorff. They just had to sit tight and wait – because in 1923 Michael Cardinal von Faulhaber (1869 – 1952), [alas] speaking in an unofficial capacity as a German, apologized for the whole monkey show: Lusitania, Belgium, etc. Everything comes to those who wait.

A French Response to the Kaiser Memoir
(Time Magazine, 1923)

Kaiser Wilhelm’s recollections of his part in the First World War (reviewed above) was released in the Winter of 1922. Former French president Rene Viviani (1863 – 1925; leadership, 13 June 1914 – 29 October 1915) quickly responded with his own book that appeared the following spring – it was titled As We See It:


“M. Viviani’s book is a direct answer to that puerile and invidious work known as the ex-Kaiser’s War Memoirs. It is impossible to escape from the logic of Viviani’s scathing denunciation of the ex-Kaiser’s tacit inculpation in the events which preceded the world-wide cataclysm.”

Praying for the Return of the Hapsburgs
(Time Magazine, 1923)

“Hungary is reported to be on the brink of revolution…[Since the war’s end] The Government has never been popular with the majority of the people; it was only accepted by them as a temporary measure, pending the advent of King Otto – the late King Charles’ young son – to the throne of Hungary.”
