The great Revolution appeals to us not for its size but because of the dramatic quality of its executions and the fineness and intensity of the aristocrats thrown into relief by the unrestrained, but justly impassioned mob. The gayety of the modern Parisian is something so hard to define, so hard to put your hand on, that it is often a relief after our own boisterous humor...

That it has had much effect in showing the real unity of spirit between New England...
...impossible where the carping politician is free to do as he will. On the other, the supporters of Lloyd George demand that he hold tight reins on the English war policy. Labor, pacifist and every type of dissenter find grounds for criticism. Whatever the case may be, the Anglo-Saxon trait of self-criticism and blundering correction of evils has placed the Allies in a very dangerous position...
