Prior to World War One, the Plattsburg Movement had seen thousands of men, mostly on the East Coast, sign up for voluntary military training as civilians. After the war a real resentment of the war itself set in, but enough of the spirit of that movement must have remained that some activities of that type continued on. Here we see photos from a Civilian Military Training Camp at Ft. Meade, that also passed in review in Washington D.C. on this day. It drew Pershing and President Harding.
Regarding the recent war, French Prime Minister Raymond Poincare stated that France would not accept a moratorium on German reparations unless Germany's mines and national forests were placed in Allied hands during the same.
George Bernard Saw was quoted in the Chicago Tribune regarding the Irish Civil War, stating:
Everyone in Ireland is tired of the present political situation. I don't know what Éamon de Valera and Erskine Childers are after. When popular opinion turned against them they should have accepted the popular verdict and then tried to convert the Irish people to their views
