March 7, 1918. Not knowing when to get up from the table. Leaving after having gotten there late. Villa resumes losing and acts spiteful to foreigners. . . except the Germans.


The Russians had surrendered.  Even at that, the Germans kept taking ground. . . and all while they presumably are getting ready for a Spring Offensive in the West designed to win the war prior to millions of fresh American troops coming into action.



Romania, spelled differently in those days, hadn't been at war with the Central Powers for long and it was also getting out.  You have to wonder why they even wanted in the war in the first place. By the time they got in, its horrific nature was pretty plain.

And if reports were correct, Villa's fortunes were not going well, and he was lashing out.
