Excerpt from The World War: How It Looks to the Nations Involved and What It Means to Us
The Johannisberg is the easternmost foothill of the Taunus range. The Taunus forms a delightful highland for health-getting and an appropriate back ground for such famous baths as Schlangenbad, Schwalbach, Wiesbaden, Homburg and Nauheim.
As we were coming down from the Johannisberg this afternoon and reached the Kurpark, we noticed that a crowd had gathered around one of the little newspaper kiosks. Stepping nearer, I saw that a placard had been put out. The placard read: Aus tria declares war on Servia.
The sun was setting. About us lay the serenity and repose of perhaps the loveliest little Kurpark in Europe. All nature - and, at that hour, all man kind too - seemed at peace. Yet here was the alarum of war.
