U.S. Government Controlled the Presses (N.Y. Times, 1917)

A printable World War I article which appeared in the New York Times some four months after the American declaration of war reported that the United States Government was obligated to close all newspapers and magazines that called into question any effort to prosecute the war or support the British or French governments. The New York Times reported that the government was granted this power under "Title 1, section 1, 2, and 3 of Title 12 of the Espionage Act" (signed by President Wilson on June 13, 1917).

Although no publications were named, the reader will be able to recognize that the only ones slandered as "pro-German" were those that would appeal to the more socially liberal, politically radical and pro-labor oriented readers. A broad offering of offending quotes from these magazines can be read on the first page.

Inside a W.W. I German Listening Post (American Legion Monthly, 1937)

Appearing in "The American Legion Monthly" some nineteen years after the end of the war was this nifty article written by a German veteran. The article explains quite simply how his forward listening post operated in the German trenches North of Verdun during the early Autumn on 1918.


A Saboteur in the Royal Flying Corps (Script, 1938)

The American writer Willis Gordon Brown recalled his days as a fighter pilot with the R.F.C. and the curious series of crashes that lead to the discovery of a German saboteur within their midst.

"To the Germans this man was a highly respected hero giving his life for the fatherland; to us he became a rat of the lowest order."
