Moore became impatient of his chief's vagaries and, about a year later, returned to the dignified quiet of Columbia University. This was early in 1914. Now for the random way in which chance weaves her skein. Mr.
The Spark that Exploded the Magazine The year 1914. England's troubles. Plots for a "Greater Serbia." The hated archduke. The shot whose echoes shook the whole world. Austria's extreme demands. Russia threatens. Frantic attempts to prevent war. Mobilizing on both sides. Germany's tiger-like spring. The forts of the Vosges Mountains. The other path to Paris. The neutrality of Belgium.
More than that, their conduct is opposed to the idealism upon which their party prospered in other days." "Illustrating these observations by concrete facts, let it be remembered that those now inveighing against an interest in affairs outside of America, criticised President Wilson in unmeasured terms for not resenting the invasion of Belgium in 1914.
Of course the first duty of every Frenchwoman in those distracted days of August, 1914, was, as I have mentioned before, to feed the poor women so suddenly thrown out of work or left penniless with large families of children.

The earth here was especially adaptable for mines, and both sides made many attempts to work destruction by tunneling forward.

Every one knows, now, that Czars and Kaisers and Emperors did not really control Europe before 1914, except in so far as they yielded to bankers and to business men. The crown and the scepter gave the appearance of power, but behind them were concessions, monopolies, economic preferments, and special privilege. The European revolution that began in 1917 with the Czar, did not stop with kings.
The French, always so quick to give things names and so liberal about it that, to the embarrassment and undoing of the unhappy foreigner, they sometimes invent fifty names for one thing have added so many words to the vocabulary since August, 1914, that a glossary, and perhaps more than one, has been published to enshrine them.
But in July, 1914, over two years from the date of the alleged crime, Inspector W. J. Beyts, an officer of much experience in the North, left on a Government schooner from Halifax with a sergeant and two constables. The weather was so bad that they did not reach the Hudson's Bay Coast till it was too late to establish a post at Baker Lake.
