"So Christmas was not so hard as I expected it to be; and now the New Year is coming and we are still hoping for the 'Big Push' that will end the war and Little Dog Monday is getting stiff and rheumatic from his cold vigils, but still he 'carries on, and Shirley continues to read the exploits of the aces. Oh, nineteen-seventeen, what will you bring?"
To them it was a matter of indifference, until nineteen-seventeen, who won the war so long as one side smashed the other and was quick about it. Owners and directors of copper mines but let us draw a veil over the sincere robust instincts of human nature. The Club of Seven Arts was proudly and vociferously pro-German.
I have longed for a rest ached would be a better word....This last year has been full of both nervous strain and desperate monotony. Nineteen-seventeen was bad enough in another way: the internal defeatist campaign, the constant menace of mutiny, soviets in the army, strikes in the munition towns, all the rest of it....But could one stand California after such an experience?
He had been sent home early in nineteen-seventeen with a shrapnel wound in his left leg, the bone shattered. He obtained his discharge at the price of a permanent limp, and went back to his research work. For the last two years he had been investigating trench fever, with results that were to make him famous. But that was not for another year.
James Kirkpatrick, who avoided his former pupils, consoled himself with the thought that at least Britain would be licked...she'd get what was coming to her, all right, and Ireland would be free....Anyhow it would soon be over....When April nineteen-seventeen came he damned the socialist party for its attitude and enlisted: "I was a man and an American first, wasn't I?" he wrote to Alexina.
In nineteen-seventeen a few declared themselves pacifists and conscientious objectors, and, little recking what they were in for, marched off triumphantly to a military prison, feeling like Christ and longing for a public cross. The others, those that were young enough, shouldered a gun and went to the front with high hearts and hardened muscles. Democracy ueber alles.
