Machine-made candy was invented by the Germans. But it was Milton S. Hershey, a Pennsylvania candyman with a flair for packaging, who gave the world a craving for what he called simply the Hershey Milk Chocolate Bar. Hershey, who had started in the candy business in 1876 making caramels by hand, purchased his first chocolate-making machine, a German model, in 1893. By the following year, his plant in Lancaster, PA, was turning out America's first mass-produced milk-chocolate bar and its cousin, the Hershey Almond Bar. Weighing 9/16th of an ounce each and divided into small squares easily broken off and eaten, the Hershey milk-chocolate bars were a novelty: Most candy then was sold in large, unwieldy chunks. Within a few years, Hershey introduced another innovation in candy packaging, enclosing each bar at the factory with a wrapper containing the company logo. The whole chocolate business got a big boost when America entered World War I. The Army issued chocolate bars to the troops as quick-energy food, and when the troops came home, they came with a sweet tooth. By 1918 there were 20,000 candy companies in the U.S. Hershey rode the boom and remained a leading U.S. chocolate maker even though the company avoided advertising - Milton Hershey always believed his product would sell itself - until the 1940's.

In the memorable words of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, the Covid-19 virus then “got on a plane” and became a super-spreading global pandemic in a matter of months. The human toll is devastating — over 80 million infected and over 1.7 million deaths as I write this. Over a century ago and during World War I no less, the world witnessed the devastating “Spanish flu” pandemic, which according to the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention infected 500 million people and killed over 50 million, with an estimated 20 million in Asia alone, although precise numbers are hard to come by. Pandemics are named pandemics because their human toll is on a global scale and devastating.

A common view is that the U.S. military adopted wholesale the Soviet concept of operational depth in the 1970s and 1980s. However, a closer look at U.S. Army concepts, doctrine, and planning reveals that the concept, word, and definition of depth existed in the U.S. military prior to the 1970s. The beginnings of depth in the U.S. Army predate even the great interwar Soviet theorists. The American idea traces to the World War I era, during which it was made manifest in the Joint campaign and operations known as the Meuse-Argonne offensive.

The years after World War I and before World War II saw famine, death, and revolution in many parts of the world. Russia suffered these calamities and worse. Hoover found himself again caught up in a struggle to feed millions of foreign citizens with American food. This time the supplicant was bolshevist Russia, a hated enemy, where famine had already caused the deaths of millions. The U.S. Congress was even more unwilling than before to aid Russia, wondering out loud why the United States should bail out a country that was so intent on falling to pieces. This chapter recounts how Hoover overcame U.S. legislative resistance and organized a major relief program in a country with an extremely anti-American government, where transport hardly worked, and where social organizations were frozen in indecision. The chapter then sums up the vastly changed character of American food aid over the period 1794–1924.

The paper deals with the actions undertaken by the Russian emigration aimed to commemorate the Russian soldiers who have been killed or died during the World War I in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes / Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The focus is on the erection of the memorials dedicated to the Russian soldiers. During the World War I the Russian soldiers and war prisoners were buried on the military plots in the local cemeteries or on the locations of their death. However, over the years the conditions of their graves have declined. That fact along with the will to honorably mark the locations of their burial places have become a catalyst for the actions undertaken by the Russian émigré, which have begun to arrive in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Kingdom of SCS) starting from the 1919. Almost at once after their arrival to the Kingdom of SCS, the Russian refugees conducted the actions aimed at improving the conditions of the graves were in and at erecting memorials. Russian architects designed the monuments. As a result, several monuments were erected in the country, including one in the capital.
