...videttes were seen in Washington examining with practised eye the enemy's entrenchments. Much handshaking was done in the Senate Chamber and much earnest conversation was held with silent, stern-faced men. Then the two scouts withdrew into conference to outline a plan of campaign for the next assault on the Capitol...
...sole Turkish law authority, and anything that is not accounted for in it is not a case for courts. A pistol murder, for example, cannot come up in court because Allah, when he dictated the Koran, forgot to speak of pistols. In addition, a Moslem can kill, assault, rob, and injure a Christian in any manner he pleases because this doesn't constitute a crime in Turkey.

Under the skilful hand of inventive genius-by dint of adding a detail here and a touch of color there-assault becomes murder, a riot rebellion, until all sense of perspective is lost. When interest in European or World politics leads us to discuss the problems of the day, let us be sure we know whereof we speak, Our daily newspapers publish much propaganda that is American-made: either side...
