Current History, New York, July, 1916.
"I Hope, My Dear Friends and Allies, That I Have Been Able to Make You Feel Happy and Confident Again."
The battle is raging, huge beyond all previous imagination. Rejuvenated, perfectly equipped with all they want, Russia's armies again have broken against our bulwarks in the east. France has experienced a regeneration in this war of which she hardly believed herself capable. She has dragged her dilatory English Ally into joining the offensive on the Somme, and whatever inward worth the British army has it now has an abundance of artillery.
The Kaiser, July, 1916.
