This fund being inadequate to the requirements of equipment and for the conduct of the war, the patriotism of the Congress provided the means in the war-revenue act of June 13 by authorizing a 3 per cent popular loan not to exceed $400,000,000 and by levying additional imposts and taxes.
There was sprightly talk about class-consciousness, and young women who, if their incomes had been dissipated by inadequate trusteeship, would once have taught school according to a gentle ideal, now went away and learned to be social workers, and came back to make self-possessed speeches at the Woman's Club and present it with new theories to worry.
Lawrence is proved by the seizure of twenty-four American privateers, between July 1 and August 25; a result to which the inadequate equipment of these vessels probably contributed. But American shipping, upon the whole, at first escaped pretty well in the matter of actual capture.
They suffered from the consequences of inadequate preparation and lack of foresight on the part of their leaders. The Russian troops on the Lower Wisloka held their positions longest, but they also fell back about May 8, 1915, and for the next two days engaged the enemy near some villages southwest of Sanok.
The pen falters when it attempts to treat of the excellence thereof; the sober vocabulary, the sparse epithet of this narrative, are inadequate to the task; and pompous terms, jewelled, exotic phrases rise to the excited fancy.
The dark sky was cloudless, and the trees stood motionless in the gloom, which slowly dissipated where the first faint light of approaching day grayed the east. The air was dry and cold, but with no sting of crispness. The chill of it was the uncomfortable, penetrating chill that renders clothing inadequate, yet brings no tingle to the exposed portions of the body.
There remains in my mind the dreary sense of a long, long drive to the uttermost bounds of the South End at Boston, where he went to call upon some obscure person whose claim stretched in a lengthening chain from his early days in Missouri a most inadequate person, in whose vacuity the gloom of the dull day deepened till it was almost too deep for tears.
One, the butcher, with many blessings invoked on King Harry's head, declared that the country was being sucked dry by these rapacious ecclesiastics; that the monks encroached every year on the common land, absorbed the little farms, paid inadequate wages, and which appeared his principal grievance killed their own meat.
When it at last reached him, it seemed inadequate, and he became more sullen than ever. He declared that he would rather serve the Queen as a private soldier, at his own expense "lean as his purse was" than accept the limited authority conferred on him. He preferred to show his devotion "in a beggarly state, than in a formal show."
The older man leaned toward the younger. "Stove fire?" with a gesture of protest against the inadequate oil blaze. Hillas whispered, "Can't afford it. Coal is $9.00 in Haney, $18.00 here." They sat with heads thrust forward, listening in the intolerable silence. Dan lifted the blanket, hearkened a moment, then "pst!" another bit of iron fell into the pail.
