...Eastern invasion of Russia, no matter how strong the call of necessity, would indeed involve a breach of faith. We have no quarrel with the Russian people. A Japanese army, at the most, could penetrate but a few of the many miles toward offering an active opposition to the Central Powers. A Japanese invasion could only be a blow in the dark at Russia, a nation convulsed in the enormity of its own problems, certainly not an enemy of the Allied cause...

Exaggerated press despatches or the Kaiser's willful misrepresentation may very likely arouse false expectations. We are encouraged at the Teutons' seeming disorders, but they, too, may rejoice that American industry is becoming more and more tied...
Although this answer is addressed to the Allies, yet it seems to be designed for "home consumption." In spite of censorship and exaggerated or even ficticious reports, the rumors of internal unrest in the Central Powers are not unfounded. Mutinies among sailors as well as Socialist discontent apparently exist, even though their importance may be overestimated.
