...time when Yankee imperialism shows a desire to dominate Europe, the Ethnical Defense League is seeking to interest Europeans in our unhappy fate and has already obtained the support of a number of German deputies and also strong British support, including that of David Lloyd George...

Alexander, of "The Boston Evening Transcript," has resigned to seek the ease with honor to which his thirty-five years as absolute arbiter of Boston society entitle him. Perhaps only Bostonians will recognize the cataclysmic significance of this, but even the outer world can glean some...
