1917. The author was the late Ambassador to the German Imperial
Court. Illustrated. From the Foreword: I am writing what should
have been the last chapter of this book as a foreword because I
want to bring home to our people the gravity of the situation;
because I want to tell them that the military and naval power of
the German Empire is unbroken; that of the twelve million men whom
the Kaiser has called to the colors but one million, five hundred
thousand have been killed, five hundred thousand permanently
disabled, not more than five hundred thousand are prisoners of war,
and about five hundred thousand constitute the number of wounded or
those on the sick list of each day, leaving at all times about nine
million effectives under arms. I state these figures because
Americans do not grasp either the magnitude or the importance of
this war. Perhaps the statement that over five million prisoners of
war are held in the various countries will bring home to Americans
the enormous mass of men engaged. Contents: My First Year in
Germany; Political and Geographical; Diplomatic Work of First
