German troops were reported marching south toward Poland to assist the Austrians. The Russian successes in Galicia gave them command of the Galician oil-fields, upon which Germany largely depended for her supply of gasoline, which is a prime necessary in modern war.

It was a pivotal point in his life. He was in love with the daughter of the captain of a whaler. They were neighbors and had been schoolmates together.

We call a man like Shakespeare a genius, not because he makes new discoveries, but because he shows us to ourselves, shows us the great reserve in us, which, like the oil-fields, awaited a discoverer, and because he says that which we had thought or felt, but could not express.
