Excerpt from France and the War, as Seen by an American The position of England in the war has been much discussed, although to the nu biassed onlooker it seems plain enough, no doubt because the matter has been clouded by reason: of certain charges brought against England by Germany. England has become Germany's dearest foe in this war. As a result the place of France and the reasons for French participation in the war have remained under certain obscurities which, in justice to the French, should be cleared up.

Excerpt from France Bears the Burden My dear Major Fortescue: That which, in my opinion, gives special value to your book on France in war time, is that you have not been content only to gather therein the excellent articles sent by you from Paris and the Front to the Washington Post, but you also, from your observations and experiences, develop a picture of the whole subject. Yours is the work of the historian. To your vivid and accurate articles, to your accounts of the fighting on the Somme, at Verdun, in the Argonne, you have added a methodical delineation, exact and instructive, of the organization and practice of war as developed in France during three years.

Excerpt from A Journey Through France in War Time Of all that has been written, or is to be written, by Americans concerning the tragedy overwhelming the Old World, much must naturally be descriptive of conditions in France, since that country is, among those affected by military occupation, most accessible and most closely in sympathy with American ideals and American history.

Excerpt from America in France Upon our entry into the war, I became one of the band of reserve officers who might do special service while they envied the men of the training camps their youth. My duties allowed me a wide range of information and observation with our expedition ary force in France from its inception. Under the spell of our marvelous achievement, which is the greatest story any American has ever had to tell, I have written about it as I knew it through its phases of building, training, fighting and of unremitting effort until we had won the Saint Mihiel salient and broken the old German line in the Argonne battle. Readers of My Year of the Great War and My Second Year of the War will have between two covers, if they choose, my third and fourth years.

Excerpt from Soldiers and Sailors of France in the American War for Independence: 1776 1783 From January 6th to May 13th, 1916, in about fifty American cities where I was welcomed by the Alliance Francaise aux etats-unis et au Canada, from New York to San Francisco, from Chicago to New Orleans, I felt the heart-beat of a great nation. At that time the re public of Washington had already begun to recognize the fact that our cause was the same as its cause; its work peaceful, ours hard and bloody: namely, to fill the world with more compassion, justice, and dignity. I have seen this country restless, tormented with the thought of its present happy condition, while France and her allies were suffering heroically. From sym pathetic admiration among the most generous, who are usually the most far-seeing, there were growing signs of impatience, and a strong desire to come over and suffer with us.

Excerpt from The French War and the Revolution: With Maps This book is the second of a series of four, each of which, while complete in itself, is to form part of a connected history of the United States down to our own time. The limits of this volume are the years 1756 and 1783. This period has a unity in many ways. From the beginning of tho "old French War" to the end of the Revolution tho English commonwealths in America were both learning the necessity of union and growing conscious of a common destiny. It might even be said that while in one of the two conflicts they were hostile to France and in the other allied with her yet nevertheless such a connection is in itself substantive. Both illustrate phases of French history. A still stronger mark of the epoch is the continuous development in action of common exertion for the common welfare. But the strongest and most philosophical unity is in the evolution of a new theory of government during these years by the application of English principles to American conditions. The author hopes that while the narrative in the following pages is necessarily brief it is fall enough to illustrate this essential conception in American history.

The French forces that fought during the American War of Independence (1775-1783) were, to a large extent, a product of the disasters of the Seven Years' War (1756-1763). During that war the fleet had been swept off the oceans, and nearly all colonies had been lost. Sweeping reforms were demanded. From the end of 1762 a series of royal orders dictated by common sense and good planning were signed by the king, and a vast reorganisation was started, ensuring that the army that fought in the American War presented a very different, altogether more formidable threat to her foes.
