The eventual place the American army should take on the western front was to a large extent influenced by the vital question of communication and supply.

The year 1915 was one of meager results, the advantages remaining on the side of the Central Powers, with this understanding, however: The Allies were growing stronger because Great Britain was making rapid progress in marshaling her resources for war.

Genius has no age, no country, no race; it belongs to mankind.
