...Bolivian officers, with Bolivia's three Socialist parties, picked for President War Hero Colonel David Toro who was still in the Gran Chaco with his Bolivian garrison. Manifestoed Lieut. Colonel Busch: "The Chaco campaign brought to light the shakiness of the Bolivian State. . . . Most of the humble were required to give their services and sacrifices on the altar of the Fatherland while others-powerful, but very few in number-concentrated in their hands the great fortunes formed by exploiting the natural resources of the country.

The ribs then collapse like slats into the chest cavity, preventing the diseased lung from expanding...

Suppose that France had demanded that we should allow niggers and Moors in French uniforms to garrison Margate, Dover, Folkestone, Eastbourne, Seaford, Brighton and Worthing. . . . As a purely ethnological fact one might argue that the fair-haired, blue-eyed Berbers of Morocco, and the Riffs, who are in fact the last remnants of the Teutonic Vandal Kingdom of Northern Africa, are better white men than the little dark scum of Southern France...
