...spite of the vigor of the German attack, the complete success over the Italians which at first seemed assured has not materialized. Cadorna, by a skillful retreat has extricated his Third Army from its almost hopeless situation beyond the Isonzo, has reestablished his front and has taken up a strong defensive position behind the Tagliamento River. Viewed from a purely strategic point, completely discounting the political element, Italy now occupies a better position than before the attack, surer in defence, and offering more favorable opportunities in some future offensive to make full use of her superiority in men. Henceforth...
Taken in its most charitable light, the interview, as reported, puts Kerensky before the world accused of bad faith to his Allies. Whether he is preparing to conclude a separate peace, in the near future, or whether he is being won over by German propaganda, his intentions should be made clear. The Allies should know the worst, and the public as well as the Chancelleries. In spite of her weakness, Russia's aid is still invaluable against Germany and to America it falls in large measure to uphold and support its government.

Naturally, I made no such sweeping and unjustifiable indictment. But I did use substantially the words cited above with regard to some leaders of the most radical wing of the Russian Socialists, the Bolsheviki. This statement was based...
...momentarily assuming graver proportions. With a hundred thousand prisoners taken, and most of the difficult mountain country already passed, there is a lively danger of the fall of Udine, and with this the capture of the Third Army across the Isonzo. Not since the days of the great German advance of August 1914, have the Allies been confronted with so serious a crisis. For should a catastrophe take place, then the way will lie open for the Germans to seize the rich Lombard plain, capture new ports for submarine bases on the Mediterranean, and even menace France from the rear...
