This particular volume focuses on the events surrounding World War I, particularly the controversies involving the sinking of the Lusitania, diplomatic relations between the United States and Germany, and the resignation of Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan.

The opening of this volume presents a range of articles and dispatches detailing crucial moments from June 1915, with a strong emphasis on the Lusitania case and the subsequent diplomatic fallout between the U.S. and Germany. The text begins with an introduction to the situation, including President Wilson's replies to German communications concerning the Lusitania disaster, which resulted in the deaths of many Americans. Additionally, the text addresses Bryan's resignation due to differing views on how to handle the escalating conflict, highlighting the tension between diplomatic approaches favoring peace versus those calling for more aggressive stances amid a backdrop of burgeoning war sentiment.
