...best characters of Mr. Sax Rohmer's thrillers. In the Treaty of Versailles the forces of the Tri-color marched rough-shod over the prostrate enemy, saddling her with fascinating but utterly fantastic reparations, sinking her fleet and permanently crippling her army, and stripping her of her colonies. Not content with that, an army of occupation was placed in the Ruhr to force the payment of the national debt.
