Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Events of the Great War, Vol. 3: A Comprehensive and Readable Source Record of the World's Great War, Emphasizing the More Important Events, and Presenting These as Complete Narratives in the Actual Words of the Chief Officials and Most Eminent Leaders Europe. In 1914 Germany had failed; her plan for conquering Europe by one swift blow had been met by a France more strong, a Britain more alert, a Russia more loyal, than she had reckoned on. -but in 1915 the Allies' leaders misread and misjudged this Germany as completely as she had misjudged them, and with results almost equally disastrous. They seemed to think that Germany, having struck with her utmost force, had exhausted her forty years of preparation and was now helpless. They assumed that they had only to carry on, only to continue the same effort as before, and soon she would be entreating mercy at their feet. Therein they underrated both the German power and the German temper. The whole German people now gave them selves up to winning the War at any cost. To the mere mili tary colossus of 1914 there succeeded in 1915 a national colossus far mightier, less brutal, but more patiently and sternly terrible. The German people as individuals almost ceased to exist. Every one was set to labor for the State, either in the army itself or in preparing its munitions. Fam ily life became a minor matter, as did. Personal business. The little manikins no longer moved or thought or even dreamed as human beings; they were become mere cogs in the mighty war - machine which was to establish the German Supremacy over Europe.
