...each for England and America, and 300,000 for Japan, and the ten-year naval holiday, are accomplished. This is perhaps the most important treaty; in addition, that limiting the use of submarines as commerce destroyers, the Four-power Pacific Treaty, the General Far Eastern agreement, the Chinese Tariff Pact, and the Shantung Treaty, all go far towards eliminating causes of friction and future war. Fourteen resolutions, ten declarations of national policy, and two treaties yet to be ratified complete the list of accomplishments...
...Treaty. There car be no hope for peace in Europe, economic or physical, until these two questions are satisfactorily adjusted. Germany's attitude is rebellious; the first of January, on which date by the Spa agreement--an agreement indulgently granting more time than was allowed in the Versailles pact--Germany was to have been disarmed, finds her still bristling with soldiers masquerading as ponce and civic guards. Although such trickery is not dangerous at present, it will soon become so if allowed to continue unchecked. The fact that Marshal Foch has planned within the last two weeks a line...

The Serbs likewise fell a superiority in that they have fought and suffered and freed the others whom they sometimes look...
...menace of the story of the liberation of Italy all over again and determined to prevent it. Then followed the murder of Ferdinand, although he was a friend of the Jugo-Slave, and the beginning of the World War. Swiftly sketching the invasion of Serbia and its conquest, the pact of Corfu, July 20, 1917, between representatives of the Serbs and some exiled Croats, and the proclamation of a Jugo-Slav State; the collapse of Bulgaria and Austria in October, 1918, and the liberation of Serbia and Montenegro, also the detachment of Dalmatia, Croatia and the Slovene territories, Professor Coolidge...
