Footnotes

1 August Halm, "Heinrich Schenker," Freie Schulgemeinde, October 1, 1917, a clipping of which is preserved in Schenker's scrapbook at OC 2/p. 53.

2 'Fifth Annual Message' to Congress, December 4th 1917, 5th paragraph: "I believe that I speak for them when I say two things: First, that this intolerable Thing of which the masters of Germany have shown us the ugly face, this menace of combined intrigue and force which we now see so clearly as the German power, a Thing without conscience or honor or capacity for covenanted peace, must be crushed and, if it be not utterly brought to an end, at least shut out from the friendly intercourse of the nations."
