jfl'0llI HI' to IDZRCQ 1914 It began in a minaretted little city, among the hills of Bosnia. An Austrian band suddenly stopped playing, and a shabby creature, with a blood-stained mouth, was. dragged away to prison. At the prompting of a group of bullies at Potsdam, Austria declared war. Russia began a startled mobilization, and the Germans hurried greedily toward Belgium. The tiny country was swiftly hacked through. Heaps of bricks and smouldering church-spires were left behind, while the roadways were littered with bits of homes. British, Belgian, and French armies retreated, and the government began to leave Paris. Lines of cabs raced through the boulevards to the southern railway stations. Then joffre orderda brusque halt. The Allies faced about, and skillfully pommeled back the heavy ranks of von Kluck and von Bulow, as far as the Aisne where they gave a surly growl and dug them- selves in to stay for months. In the meantime, a few German troops had sauntered into Russia, expecting a delayed resistance. But the Russians flew at them with bared teeth, and glittering scimitars, and the Germans stumbled awkwardly until von Hindenburg came to their rescue. The Slavs were lured into the quaggy lakes and marshes of Tanneberg, and were drowned. On the south, however, the Austrian army was rolled up the sides of the Carpathians, and gorged down through the narrow passes. Lemberg was soon captured. 1915 Such was the offense. When 1915 came, Germany's elbows were rubbing aggressively against those of her respectable neighbors. The Russians had crawled to the airy crests of the Carpathians, but von Mackensen battered them down again, and von Hindenburg, who had been marking time on the Polish frontier, heaved forward. The dismal Galician retreat began. On the western front, poison gas was used for the first time. jets of white vapor were released, and they swirled into a brown-green mist toward the Allied trenches. The French broke into a mad retreat, their lungs bursting. In May, theiLz1sz'z'1znz'a was stilettoed and sunk. Later, Nurse Cavell was hurried from a German prison, and shot down before a wall. The conquest of Serbia was completed. The blood-soaked peasants waded out from their homes through long stretches of miry, hopeless road. The wolves were howling in anticipation of their night's orgy. Thus did Germany add a goodly store to her treasure-trove of horrors. 1916 In February, in the midst of a fog of shell-smoke, with a spray of bullets, and the beating of the big guns, a new drive was begun. The Germans were again at large, with their zenith of power reached. The citadel of Verdun was their goal. They seethed forward venomously, but the French defense was spirited and brilliant. The invaders were driven back over hill after hill, and the Meuse remained free. 7
