Présentation de l'éditeur

Paris and still the conflict is in full swing. We are still asking the same question, how much longer can it last, and we are still deluged with literature on the daily battles, synopses of the war to date, forecasts of the eventual outcome and of the terms of final peace. Some of our news is honest, much is faked, and most of it is indifferent. And all that we hear and read in this country has the approval to some extent of allied censors, so that the German side of the issue is always difficult to obtain and realize. For myself I am convinced that the Germans cannot be as inhuman, bad and indifferent to the laws of humanity as most Americans are led to believe. But only the very distant future can bring us enough truth to prove this view, for the war must long have ceased before any idea of the real Teuton point of view can be realized and obtained in our country, if indeed, it ever can be. The sending of this Journal to my friends is not that they may be burdened with any more literature which may throw light on the war, but merely that those of them who were interested in members of the unit may see just what sort of a life we led and what they themselves might experience should they seek a like opportunity. I think I can say for all of the members of the unit that the experience was one they will never forget. The opportunity for work was considerable, and indeed we were at times overwhelmed with it, but I cannot recall any friction even under the most trying circumstances. The personnel fitted together admirably.
