Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The War-Whirl in Washington "He doesn´t want gloom, he does want efficiency," - that is the way one who is daily in closest touch with our war President described Mr. Wilson´s attitude toward trying days like these. He golfs, he goes to the theatre, he motors. State dinners and similar social functions temporarily have been discontinued at the capital, largely for economic reasons; in bringing the social gayeties to an end the frame of Administrative thought was far from that kind of early Puritan gloom which forbid bear baiting, "not because the sport gave pain to the bear but because it gave pleasure to the spectators." The hardest of hard workers in the legions of war toilers in Washington would be the last to advise against moments of relaxation just now.
