SIDELIGHTS: Stephen Bonsal entered the journalism trade in an unconventional way—he chose the newspaper business to make money after losing much of his family fortune on a horse race. His decision would be a well-considered one, however, as Bonsal became one of the most well- regarded news writers of his generation. Born to a shipping executive and his wife in Baltimore, Bonsal attended schools both in the United States and abroad. After "coming a cropper with a mare," as he put it, Bonsal considered joining the Foreign Legion, but settled on writing instead. Despite his lack of practical experience, the young man became a persistent presence at the New York Herald, and conspired to secure a reporting job by submitting stories. One such dispatch—about a Latin-American president escaping from a revolt of his people—caught the attention of the Herald 's owner, who sent Bonsal to London as a correspondent. There the reporter mingled with prime ministers, prizefighters and other notables. Bonsal's forte was in breaking news. In 1888 he was assigned to cover the Balkans, "to be on hand whenever and wherever anything happens," as he later recalled. Something did happen—and Bonsal was among the first to report on the racial, political, and religious conflicts that turned the Balkans into one of the world's most intensely watched hotspots. He notably reported on Turkish atrocities in Macedonia around 1890. Disputes over salary brought Bonsal into disfavor with Herald management, who ordered him back to New York and placed him as a three- dollar-a-day "emergency man" at the city desk. That demotion was enough to end the reporter's tenure at the newspaper. He left in 1893 to serve in the U.S. Diplomatic Corps, acting as secretary and charge d'affaires in Madrid, Peking and Tokyo. Reconciliation with the Herald occurred in time for Bonsal to file stories from the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 and the Spanish-American War. Bonsal covered several more global events in the years leading to World War I, and wrote several books during that period. When the United States entered World War I Bonsal, a commissioned major, joined the American Expeditionary Forces in France, helping direct propaganda to weaken the morale of the Central Powers troops. Following Armistice he parlayed his international expertise into a post as adviser on Balkan affairs. Over the next several years Bonsal contributed articles to periodicals. He published a memoir of his early days as a reporter in the 1937 book Heyday in a Vanished World. Then in 1944 he published Unfinished Business, the book that would win Bonsal a Pulitzer Prize. This diary of the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 was a first in its field, as Bonsal was virtually the only writer with access to the discussions of President Woodrow Wilson and his top advisers. Published as it was during the height of World War II, Unfinished Business was greeted as a well-timed reminder of the waning days of the previous conflict. In fact, "a more timely book than this could hardly be imagined," wrote Atlantic reviewer Allan Nevins. "This intimate and revealing impression of events in 1919 contains valuable sections of Vienna and Southeastern Europe, on war-ravaged Berlin, and on Washington, but its most striking pages describe what went on behind closed doors in Paris." Bonsal's words "are those of an observer at the spot, unchanged by the perspective of the intervening years and the lessons of recent experiences," said Hans Kohn in the New York Times, who found that Unfinished Business benefits "not only in authenticity but also in weight. It is published now because the problems of that day are the problems of today. World War II is only a continuation of World War I, of business left unfinished then." Bonsal published another book on the Paris Peace Conference— Suitors and Supplicants —and into his later years remained active in movements for world peace. On his death at age eighty-six the journalist was remembered by his peer, Arthur Krock, as a man who "would have prepared the people of the United States for what has happened to the world if they had heeded the signs he steadily pointed out to them for fifty years."

One winter afternoon in Berlin in 1915, Stephen Bonsal met a bewildered American vainly trying to get directions from passing Germans. They brushed him aside. Bonsal came to his rescue, and so became acquainted with wirepulling, involved, ambiguous Colonel Edward House, of Texas, the Harry Hopkins of the Wilson regime. Stephen Bonsal was soon acting under Colonel House's orders. He knew far more about Europe than House did. Born in Maryland, educated in New Hampshire (St. Paul's) and Germany (Heidelberg), Bonsal had in 1915 been a world traveler. UNFINISHED BUSINESS. Mastercard, Visa and PayPal accepted.

Doctor of Philosophy (History), August 2017, 294 pp., 8 tables, bibliography, 120 titles. During the Philippine War, 1899 – 1902, America attempted to quell an uprising from the Filipino people. Four regular army regiments of black soldiers, the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry, and the Twenty-Fourth and Twenty-Fifth Infantry served in this conflict. Alongside the regular army regiments, two volunteer regiments of black soldiers, the Forty-Eighth and Forty-Ninth, also served. During and after the war these regiments received little attention from the press, public, or even historians. These black regiments served in a variety of duties in the Philippines, primarily these regiments served on the islands of Luzon and Samar. The main role of these regiments focused on garrisoning sections of the Philippines and helping to end the insurrection. To carry out this mission, the regiments undertook a variety of duties including scouting, fighting insurgents and ladrones (bandits), creating local civil governments, and improving infrastructure.

A grandson of the gallant Truxtun, Beale was bom in the Navy and his early life was passed at sea. However, he fought with the army at San Pasqual and when night fell upon that indecisive battlefield, with Kit Carson and an anonymous Indian, by a daring journey through a hostile country, he brought to Commodore Stockton in San Diego, the news of General Kearny's desperate situation. Beale brought the first gold East, and was truly, in those stirring days, what his friend and fellow- traveller Bayard Taylor called him, "a pioneer in the path of empire." Resigning from the Navy, Beale explored the desert trails and the moimtain passes which led overland to the Pacific, and later he surveyed the routes and built the wagon roads over which the mighty migration passed to people the new world beyond the Rockies. As Superintendent of the Indians, a thankless office which he filled for three years, Beale initiated a policy of honest dealing with the nation's wards iv Introductory Note which would have been even more successful than it was had cordial unfaltering support always been forthcoming from Washington.

The blows they strike they believe are struck in the most righ- teous of causes. If they could only be inoculated with the virus of modern skepticism and leave off doing right so fervently, there might come about an era of peace in the Balkans—and certainly the population would in- crease. As full warrant and justification of their merciless warfare, the Christians point to Jushua the Conqueror of the land of Canaan, the Turks to Mahomet.

C.Caswell); published May 16, 1917; $1.50; three copies, two with the stunning dust jacket, now almost exotic in its rarity, with the front flap reading: “Just as THE HARBOR was the story of a constantly changing life out upon the fringe of the city, along its wharves, among its ships, so the story of Roger Gale’s family pictures the growth of a generation out of the embers of the old in the ceaselessly changing heart of New York. How Roger’s three daughters grew into the maturity of their several lives, each one so different, Mr. Poole tells with strong and compelling beauty, touching with deep, whole-hearted conviction some of the most vital problems of our modern way of living!the home, motherhood, children, the school; all of them seen through the realization, which Roger’s dying wife made clear to him, that whatever life may bring, ‘we will live on in our children’s lives.’ The old Gale house down-town is a little fragment of a past generation existing somehow beneath the towering apartments and office-buildings of the altered city. Roger will be remembered when other figures in modern literature have been forgotten, gazing out of his window at the lights of some near-by dwelling lifting high above his home, thinking

    GERMANY AND LATIN AMERICA – DEVELOPING INFRASTRUCTURE AND FOREIGN POLICY, 1871-1914 A Dissertation by MARSHALL A. YOKELL, IV Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Adam R. Seipp Committee Members, Jason C. Parker Brian J. Rouleau Shona N. Jackson Head of Department, David Vaught December 2018 Major Subject: History Copyright 2018 Marshall Allison Yokell, IV ABSTRACT From the formation of the German nation in 1871 until the eve of World War I, Germany’s emergence on the world stage as a global power was never a simple endeavor nor one where there was a clear path forward for policymakers in Berlin or diplomats serving abroad. While scholars have focused on the direct actions in creating a formal German empire, a clear mark of a global power, they have not fully engaged in examining the impact of indirect forms of imperialism and empire building. This dissertation is a global study of German interactions in South America, and how it relied on its diplomats there to assist in the construction of an informal empire, thus demonstrating Germany’s global presence. This coterie of diplomats and foreign policy officials in Berlin pointed to South America as a region of untapped potential for Germany to establish its global footprint and become a world power. This work draws upon primary sources, both unpublished and published, examining the records of diplomats, businessmen, and colonial and religious groups to show the vast networks and intersections that influenced German policy in South America as it sought to increase its global presence and construct an informal empire.
