...Ethel Leginska, one of the best-known of the younger pianists, will be the soloist. She has had very great success in her recitals in Boston, but has only once before played with an orchestra. Miss Leginska will render a concerto for piano and orchestra by Liapounoff, a new Russian composer of whom little is known...
...release of large numbers of Germans from the Russian front will almost inevitably result in an early spring offensive. A complete co-ordination of our armies is the absolute essential of meeting it successfully. The English break is therefore particularly unfortunate at the present time.

We hope that Germany feels this influence first but we cannot count upon this. Half a million Americans in action this year may avail more than...
Just how much to blame the Russian people for going back on their allies is difficult to say. To pity them rather than curse them is the fairest way, for there is no sense in heaping coals of fire upon the heads of a demoralized nation. Russia is in a condition where internal reform is the one essential and where a real military resistance is impossible. We believe that by making peace she is throwing herself open to every type of Teuton trick and that Germany will exploit the Slavs solely for what can be drawn out of them...
