Who Won the War?

Pres. Wilson Says America Did. Gen. Haig Says Britain Did.

Who won the war? This is one of the questions that the peace conference failed to answer. President Wilson gave the American answer in a speech on board the George Washington July 4. Field Marshal Haig gave the British answer in an address in Newcastle. President Wilson saidi “Then America went in, and if it had not been for America the war would npt have been won. My heart swells with pride that I cannot express when I think of the men who crossed the seas from America to fight on those battlefields.” General Haig said: “Don’t forget it was the British empire that won this war. We talked a great deal about our allies. It was necessary and right that we should do so to buck them up all we could while the fighting was going on, but don’t forget it was the British empire that won this war.”
