What reading level is Stories of the Great War for Public Speakers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
soldiers have set us a splendid example in this matter. They fairly shame the ordinary Tommy by their briUiant molars.
Dr. W. A. Evans said in the Chicago Tribune-: The Scotchman's teeth are especially bad. The world never saw better fighters than these snaggled-tooth Scotch and English, but they would get on, better in the hospital and camp if their teeth were better.
THE TERROR OF SUBMARINES.
Of all the engines of naval destruetiveness produced in the war, there was no weapon more terrible th...an the newly devised depth bombs. The explosion of one lifts a column of water thirty yards wide to a height of fifty feet above the surface. A depth bomb discharged two hundred yards from a 30,000-ton ocean liner heaved her up six inches in the water.
So terrible are the bombs that destroyers only drop them when running at full speed, in order to insure a get-away, and even then the iron plates of the boiler-room are often lifted by the concussion.
The work of the destroyers with the aid of the depth bombs was so efficient that after two or three voyages, on the average, the German submarines never returned to their base.
