...sent back to Europe, although his son and daughter, amply able to care for him, were waiting just outside the steel gates. Then there was the twelve year old boy of German parentage, who, by the postbellum changes of boundary-lines, was adjudged to have been born in Jugo-Slavia, and so of that nationality. His mother and father had lived in this country throughout the war, and had sent for their son at the first opportunity. But the Jugo-Slav quota was full, and the boy was shipped back, homeless and penniless. "A rotten deal" was what the official...
...geographical position, is holding Bolshevism at bay, and preventing its spread through Europe. To to this aspect of the importance of the country he will devote the major part of his address. It is expected that he will also touch on the relations of Czecho-Slovakia to Poland and Jugo-Slavia...
...satisfactory disposition of Flume has at last been made. Since the acquisition of the Trentino at the close of the War, Italian eyes have been fixed on the east coast of the Adriatic which Italy has long desired, and which she hoped to gain peaceably.

The port itself will be used freely by both parties, however, so that the Jugo-Slavs come out of the affair rather well. Above all, the settlement bids...
...Italy trying to bottle up the Slavs, a few facts will show that such is not the case. Even if all of Italy's Adriatic claims were granted, the Jugo-Slavs would still have thirteen important ports, among which are Serenico, Spalato, Metovic, Ragusa, and Cattaro, all having excellent railroad communications with the illterior. Yet it is said that Fiume and not any of the above is the natural port of the Balkan Slavs. The falsity of such a statement is plainly evident from the Austrian official trade statistics of 1915. Here we find that only 7 per cent...
