...White is the author of several books, among which are "In the Heart of a Fool," "A Certain Rich Man," and "The Martial Adventures of Henry and Me." He was a reporter at the Paris Peace Conference, and was appointed by the President American delegate to the Allied conference at Prinkipo with the Bolsheyist government, which was abandoned...
...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.

The success or failure of Lenine depends now, not on armies...

In modern times any community that believes in the eye for an eye doctrine must be either struggling for existence without any law or police, or must be in error.

That England is justified in her actions has nothing to do with the value...
...long it will remain so is another question. The country has so long been a buffer state that the European nations have come to regard it as martial currency in their diplomatic barter and trade, and may not easily break them selves of so fixed a habit. Nor is the word of Soviet Russia to be trusted implicitly. 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...
