...question. England and France, much as they would like to keep him out of power because of his pro-German tendencies, can not or will not go to such an extremity in the race of the whole Greek nation. But they can, and undoubtedly will, withdraw their support, both martial and financial, from the country. It cannot be denied that the Greeks are free to choose whomever they desire to rule over them; no more is it to be expected that the Allies will look favorably upon a state which has endorsed the hostility its ruler showed toward the Allies...
...fall of Wrangel's army, however, does not mark final victory for the Moscow government. What martial force has failed to accomplish, economic weakness may bring about. Russian manufacture has been destroyed, crops have been neglected, even the barest necessities of life are none too plentiful; and with the approach of winter, these problems are becoming ever more acute.

Under such conditions, and with Germany casting sheep's eyes at the port of Danzig, Poland enters upon her first peaceful and truly organized period of existence as a republic...
...purpose. It takes questions of citizenship, of ready and unflagging loyalty, of steady and watchful Americanism, as the leading objects of its attention. It supplies a unique example of a body of soldiers whose chief interest lies in the maintenance of the civic as opposed to the martial idea. The soldiership which it exemplifies is the citizen soldiership, which stands for the patriotism of the school and the ballot box as well as the patriotism of the tented field...
