A 1916 exclusive forecast by Harvard military historian Professor Robert Matteson Johnston. He argues a diplomatic rupture equals a state of war and analyzes whether the U.S. can participate offensively, with the navy as the primary offensive force and defense as the main problem, noting weaknesses in Washington’s naval handling and limitations of the regular army.

The contract for 9.7 miles of surfacing to Des Moines was let to F McClellan for $222 691 22 in brick rather than concrete despite initial plans.

Hastt M. Manly, noted economic investigator, presents evidence in a newspaper series that income tax evasion reaches over 320 million dollars.
